What does a baptism mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about a baptism signifies a fresh start, spiritual cleansing, or a desire for rebirth. What a baptism means in your dream may be more nuanced.
It's a symbol of forgiveness and letting go of old habits. If you're being baptized, it may reflect a need for self-forgiveness or a yearning for renewal.
It can also indicate a transformation or transition in your life. This dream is generally positive, suggesting personal growth and emotional healing.
A baptism is complex and fascinating dream object to interpret. To really know without any doubts, I'd have to get more information about the dreamer's life and current environment.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of a baptism, in Freudian terms, may symbolize the unconscious yearning to return to the womb's safety, a manifestation of the 'oceanic feeling.' This is a longing for a pre-ego state, a time of undifferentiated unity.
Some alternatives: If you dream of being baptized, it may represent your ego's struggle with guilt, seeking absolution through symbolic immersion, a form of regression to a pre-Oedipal phase. This dream could also signify a transition, a psychic rebirth, where the old self is 'drowned' to make way for a new identity. It's a complex interplay of the id, ego, and superego, reflecting the ongoing process of psychic development and self-understanding.0
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of a baptism or being baptized is a profound spiritual message. It signifies the soul's yearning for purification and divine connection. This dream is a divine call to cleanse your spiritual aura and embark on a path of enlightenment. If you're being baptized, it's a spiritual awakening, a call to shed the old self and embrace a new spiritual identity. It's a divine invitation to immerse yourself in the sacred waters of spiritual wisdom, to wash away past karmic debts and to rise anew, reborn in spirit. This dream is a spiritual compass, guiding you towards self-realization and inner peace. It's a beacon of spiritual growth, transformation, and transcendence.
So whose dream interpretation is best for you?
Which of the preceding explanations for a baptism makes the most sense for your your dream experience?
Only you can say for certain. Remember that our dreaming mind can be a complex and multifaceted thing to understand. Just about any dream image can symbolize many different things — or symbolize multiple realities from our waking lives.
