Crying
Emotional release, grief, healing
Pregnancy
New creation, potential, development
Crying
Crying in dreams is a powerful form of emotional release. Many people wake from crying dreams with actual tears on their face, indicating the depth of emotional processing occurring during sleep. These dreams often appear when suppressed emotions need an outlet. Crying tears of joy in a dream represents overwhelming positive emotion. Watching someone else cry may indicate empathy or guilt about their pain.
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.
