Mother
Mother figures in dreams represent nurturing, unconditional love, protection, and the fundamental relationship template we carry through life. A positive mother dream may indicate self-care needs, while a threatening mother might represent smothering behavior or unresolved maternal issues. The 'Great Mother' archetype encompasses both creative and destructive feminine energy.
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.
