Capability, connection, creation
Pregnancy
New creation, potential, development
Hands
Hands represent your ability to act, create, and connect with others. The condition of the hands matters: strong hands suggest capability, injured hands indicate feeling unable to act, and dirty hands may reflect guilt. Shaking hands represents agreements and connections. In Freudian analysis, hands relate to control and agency. Open hands suggest receptivity, while clenched fists indicate anger or determination.
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.
