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.
Swimming Underwater
Swimming underwater represents diving deep into the unconscious mind, exploring hidden emotions, and the challenge of operating in unfamiliar psychological territory. The ability to breathe underwater suggests comfort with deep emotional exploration. Running out of air indicates that you're pushing your emotional limits. What you find underwater represents discoveries from the deepest layers of the psyche.
