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.
Taking an Exam
Exam dreams — especially about exams you haven't studied for — are classic anxiety dreams. They reflect self-evaluation, fear of being judged, and concerns about measuring up to standards. These dreams persist well into adulthood, often decades after school, because the fundamental anxiety about being tested never fully disappears.
