I dreamt that I was 9 months pregnant, and was standing in the kitchen with my mom, then we went downstairs to the den and sat down, I was sitting on the couch, and my mom was sitting across from me in a chair, which is not the way our furniture is arranged now, but was a couple of years ago, but anyway, I started cramping, felt alot like menstral cramps, and went into labor, then there was a flash, and in the place of my mom appeared my sister Leslie, who was sitting in the chair, where my mom had been, but she didn't do anything to help me. I then looked down and my stomach was either turning to goo, or liquifying, to the point that the baby was moving around, and trying to slide out. I was panicking to the point where I was trying to keep the baby in my stomach, being afraid of it sliding out and dying, but instead of the baby being human, it was a plastic doll. It was looking up at me. I was devistated, being that I had not given birth to a human baby. I tried to keep from crying, but ended up doing it anyway.I started to think, "Why couldn't I Give Birth To A Real Baby?" The dream ended with me walking towards the bathroom. Does anyone know what this means?

If you haven't had children and are planning to, I would assume that as most women, you would be worried about giving birth to a healthy baby. If it's been on your mind it makes sense. If not, even if you've given it a fleeting thought and pushed it to the back of your mind, it still would make sense in that your mind wants to release any fear you may have.

What a complicated, interesting dream, thank you for sharing it!

If it were my dream I'd think I was trying to give birth to an idea or some aspect of myself. I think that your mother was across from you (and gave birth to you, now you are giving birth to. . .) and turned into your sibling (and you are all women) is a progression sort of thing, your mother got you and your sister as far as she can and now it's your turn to "give birth" to "Yourself".

I found the furniture arrangement interesting too, in that it was like your furniture was arranged a couple years ago and then you looked up and your sister was there instead of your mother. Did you have anything happen a couple years ago with the three of you? I use to dream about an apartment building I lived in the first time I saw my therapist, and when I saw her again 9 years later, I'd dream about it often and she said it had to do with what had happened between us back at that time. So maybe what happened back when the furniture was arranged that way, were you rebellious or your sister doing something you are doing now (or are you doing something now that your sister was doing then? Emotionally/psychologically, of course).

The plastic doll baby and your mother and sister being part of it; were it my dream I'd be thinking I am not as mature as my mother, can't give birth to a "real" child yet, am not grown up enough but am only like/even with my sister; not "ahead" and grown up yet. That it felt like menstrual cramps instead of childbirth pains and that your "stomach" was changing, that's what children think, that babies are in their mother's stomachs.

Are you in competition with your sister about something? Getting attention or more responsibility or respect, etc.?
