It looks like it's ok to ask about dreams here, so I will, because I keep having one that is really confusing me. Actually the dream itself is never the same, but in many of my dreams in the last month or so, there has been a little baby. I have no children, and before you ask, no I can't be pregnant, but in those dreams, that little baby is my son. I don't think he has a name, and he is never dressed, apart from a white towel. Kind of as if he was newborn. Like I said the dreams are never the same, but the baby is there, and I always feel that I have to protect him, and that someone will take him away from me if I don't, even if there's nothing to be afraid of in the dream I'm having. When I wake up, I always feel weird, and a little depressed too because it reminds me that I can't have the guy I really care about. So I guess it could have something to do with that, but I'm not sure - I just feel so strange every time I wake up from those dreams. Do anyone have any good ideas? Since I keep having those dreams, I guess there must be a reason.

Bless you Ghost.
What comes to me is that you still have an issue with something from your past. Part of you has remained behind and feels in danger. It could be from the reason why you can't have children. It could be from something else.
I get the feeling that part of you is unresolved to this past event. This dream is calling attention to this unresolved issue.
Your dream is very typical of something that was traumatic to you, left at least partially resolved and manifesting in dreams. This part of you is symbolized by the baby needing protection by you. The early self needing help from the mature self.
The naked child with the white towel strongly suggests innocence and defenselessness. If this child is a symbol of an early you then it could be symbollic of feeling the need of protecting yourself from a loss of innocense.
The child being a boy may be your mind confusing the issue to avoid making the dream to blunt and plain. The subconscious often disquises facts as something else so that you don't wake up screaming or too emotionally upset.
Look for other things in the dreams. There are small cues that may not seem too important but may be the clue that will open the explanation to your concious mind.
I had one dream that disturbed me greatly and I could not figure it out. I noticed one small detail in that dream and it suddenly became clear and opened up memories of a childhood trauma.
Pay attention to the details. =) Good luck.
My interpretation anyway.

Thanks, I'll have to think about that. Actually I was thinking more about the future than the past. A baby is a new life, and since I think of it as my son in the dreams, it's something I don't have yet. And because I'm afraid that something is going to happen to that baby, my own theory was that maybe it meant that I have to think about what I do now and how it will influence my future, that I should think about the choices I make, for some reason I haven't figured out yet... you know, if I make the right choices, "the baby will be born", and if I make the wrong ones, it won't... but what you're saying makes A LOT of sense too! At least it's easier to try to look at the past for the answer first, than it is to start wondering about the future.

Hello there Ghost!
When I read about your dream I thought of the baby in a more symbolic way, being something that originates from you and is very dear to you. An idea or plan for the future, that you need to protect? It's difficult to interpret knowing so little about wht is going on in your life. A new job? A new lifestyle? If it was me having the dream I would think in those lines, at least. But dream-symbols are always personal, so I can't be sure. Of course people share a lot of symbols, but in the end it is what it means for you specifically that matters.
I agree with Nakis, look for details! It can really help you to perhaps place the symbol in the right context. [Wink]
