Child
Children in dreams often represent your inner child — the innocent, playful, or wounded part of yourself that formed in early life. A happy child suggests connection with joy and spontaneity. A neglected or crying child may indicate that your inner child needs attention. An unknown child can represent untapped potential or new creative projects. Your own children in dreams may reflect parental anxieties or the qualities they represent.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy dreams represent something new developing in your life — a project, idea, relationship, or aspect of self that is gestating and growing. Both men and women have pregnancy dreams. The stage of pregnancy may indicate how far along this 'new thing' is in development. These dreams often appear when embarking on creative projects.
