Baby
New beginning, innocence, vulnerability
Drowning
Overwhelmed, helplessness, suffocation
Baby
Babies in dreams often represent new beginnings, innocence, and vulnerable aspects of yourself that need nurturing. They can also symbolize new projects, ideas, or relationships in their infancy. Caring for a baby may reflect your nurturing nature, while neglecting a dream baby may indicate you're neglecting something important in waking life.
Drowning
Drowning dreams are powerful expressions of feeling overwhelmed — by emotions, responsibilities, relationships, or circumstances. They can also indicate suppressed emotions that are 'pulling you under.' If someone rescues you in the dream, it may indicate a need for help or that help is available if you ask.
