Monster
Repressed fear, shadow, overwhelming threat
Pregnancy
New creation, potential, development
Monster
Monsters in dreams represent repressed fears, shadow aspects of personality, or overwhelming threats that feel larger than life. The type of monster reveals the nature of the fear: vampires suggest energy-draining people or situations, zombies represent mindless conformity or feeling dead inside, and undefined monsters represent nameless anxieties. Facing the monster rather than running often transforms the dream.
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.
