Here's an odd dream:

I dreamt I was pregnant and in the hospital, though my baby bump was rather small to be ready to give birth. But my whole family was there, so clearly I was supposed to be due. My mom was particularly teary eyed.
I don't have a boyfriend or partner so I wasn't really surprised that the father of the child did not figure largely in the dream.
For someone about to give birth, I was very calm, and completely without pain, which is not in character for me... I wasn't really surprised I was pregnant either...
The doctor came and told us all pretty quickly that I wasn't ready and that I wouldn't give birth for another week or so. He seemed smug about it.
All of this seems to be more about some symbolism to me than an actual pregnancy, though I don't know what it could mean! Something about imminent creativity?

Could be related to some creativity issue. Do you feel like you might be wanting to have a baby, to take a more literal interpretation? But it's not time yet?

I dreamed several years back that I actually gave birth to a third child. I am in my fifties. I would have liked to have had a third one, but I was way up in thirties when my second was born and had some complications.

No way I'm having a baby. I am too young / incapable. Maybe never... no the dream has to be something else.

you mentioned your mom being teary eyed, in a good or bad way? is there something going on in that relationship in real life that might be evolving? i've had this type of dream a couple times before, once where i was pregnant and once where i was in labor. i've never actually been pregnant and have no plans to have children so it wasn't related to that. for me i think it was about realizing a new direction in life. are you facing a life decision or working on a project at the moment? in your dream the doctor said you weren't quite ready yet and come back in a week, that would suggest that you aren't quite ready to realize whatever idea that might be developing within you.

Giving birth to a new idea or way of feeling and seeing. You feel you are not quite ready yet. However this will happen son.

This is an interesting thought... I don't know if anything in real life is happening, beyond my continued frustration with my relationship with her. I feel my mom is more distant than I want her to be, we were closer when I was young and worshiped her and didn't criticize her at all, and I think she loved me more then. It frustrates me to think we can't be truly close in a real way, now that I'm my own person. So maybe her being teary eyed is something I'm longing for? Though in the dream I was pretty indifferent about the baby... So perhaps it was just how I thought she'd finally show real love for me, if I made a grandchild for her...
