Pregnancy
New creation, potential, development
Stranger
Unknown self, potential, new influences
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.
Stranger
Strangers in dreams often represent unknown aspects of yourself — the parts of your personality you haven't yet recognized or integrated. A friendly stranger may represent untapped potential, while a threatening stranger could symbolize repressed fears or shadow qualities. Recurring strangers may become more familiar as you become more self-aware.
