About a third of our whole life we spend in a dream. Some dreams produce a really deep impression on us and are remembered for a long time, while others are forgotten by the morning. While waiting for crumbs, many future mothers attach special importance to their dreams, and the dreams themselves change significantly, often become unusual. And this is quite natural, because pregnancy is one of the most important periods in the life of every woman. This time, causing a lot of new unexpected emotions, fantasies, impressions ... So, what can you dream about during pregnancy and is there any sense to attach special importance to it? As a rule, the subjects of dreams originate from various sources: from the woman's own intrauterine experience to a banal repetition of the events of the past day. Let's discuss what most often dreams of pregnant women and answer questions that arise in future mothers in connection with the extraordinary, fabulous, fascinating or everyday stories that he dreamed about.
First call
When I still did not even know about my pregnancy, I dreamed of a fish. I knew what this dream was about. Why fish?
Yes, indeed, even our grandmothers and great-grandmothers said that if a woman dreams of a fish, this is pregnancy. The wisdom of the ages has now been scientifically confirmed. Our body transmits information about the pregnancy that has come into the brain before the menstrual period appeared. On the basis of this information, the brain gives the command to transfer all the systems of the body to the optimum mode of work for maternity. During this period, certain symbols may appear in dreams, reflecting on the unconscious level the restructuring of the female body. Such symbols can be fish, kittens, small animals or just small children.
Does this mean that if someone dreamed of a fish, then the onset of pregnancy is obvious? Of course not. It should be noted that the fish not only dreams of pregnancy, this symbol can have many other meanings. Just at the moment when the information about pregnancy is relevant for a woman, she as if herself receives this information in an image that she can easily understand, since she has already heard about its meaning from mother, grandmother or girlfriends. In addition, the image of fish also appeared not by chance: it is one of the archetypal symbols of life, from the birth of which pregnancy begins.
She gave birth to a queen in the night ...
I dreamed of a little girl of three. She was dressed in a beautiful lace dress, with bows in her hair. In a dream, I realized that this is my future daughter. And a few days later I had a girlfriend who told me in a dream that I would have a boy. You can not see the floor yet on ultrasound. What dream can be considered more correct?
The most popular question that women ask me in early pregnancy is: "Is it possible to see the sex of a future child in a dream?" The answer is very simple: you can see, as we already know, the mother's body has information about which hormones (male or women) predominate in the child, since they have a common circulatory system, but one can not see it.Statistics show that a variety of divinations about who will be born, a boy or a girl, remain only fortune-telling.
More often than not, a woman sees in a dream a child of the desired or unknowingly preferred sex. Even if she does not fully realize this and says that she does not care who is born, this dream, as a rule, reflects the unconscious mood of the mother herself. Studies have revealed that dreams of a similar content are more likely in those women who consciously or unconsciously attach importance to the sex of the future baby. That is, such dreams are a reflection of the significance of the topic itself, and not of the real sex of the child.
Does all this mean that a woman will be less comfortable with the baby of the "non-preferred" sex? Of course, no! Such dreams reflect only the unconscious fantasies of the future mother, and not the attitude to the real baby. , oddly enough, but future dads in their dreams are much more likely mothers "fall into the bull's eye" and correctly see in the dream the sex of their unborn child.
Will dream of this!
I had a dream that really frightened me. I saw a child, but when I approached him, he was like a doll. I tried to wake him and started shaking him. Is there something wrong with my baby?
During pregnancy, women often have dreams in which they are worried about the child, are concerned about the state of his health, are afraid of harming him or simply feeling anxious. Such dreams reflect the anxiety of the future mother and her desire to protect the child. Increased anxiety is associated with the very condition of pregnancy: at this time, especially in the first trimester, a woman experiences increased anxiety for her condition and condition of the crumb in the tummy. You do not need to give these dreams much importance. Talk to your girlfriends who were recently in the position and you will learn that during pregnancy such dreams are not uncommon, but they do not interfere with the successful endurance and delivery of the baby.
Chase
I often dream that someone is chasing after me, my heart is beating hard, I'm running and it's very hard for me to breathe. What can all this mean?
The plot of the modern approach to the interpretation of the dream is often based on the reflection of the state of the organism. During pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to the growth of the baby, breathing in the mother can become difficult, sometimes the heart rate is increased. During sleep, signals from the body continue to enter the brain and appear before us in the form of anxious dreams: sensations of pressure, severity, palpitations, etc. It happens that in the dreams there are stories related to the feeling of sipping at the bottom of the abdomen, for example, dreaming about the monthly. During the day, sufficiently weak signals from the growing uterus are below the threshold of our perception, but at night, in a dream, they make their way in this form.
Feast mountain!
I dreamed that I came to the buffet and began to impose food on the plate. I put more and more food, and I can not stop - I experience such a strong hunger. Then I just can not find a place to sit down and eat, and the food on the plate smells so strong and tasty, that I'm just dying of hunger.
During pregnancy all sensory organs become aggravated. Future moms often note a special sensitivity to smells, prefer certain tastes, in general experience increased sensitivity to bodily sensations.
Such manifestations are consequences of the restructuring of the organism, all of whose functioning during this period is aimed at creating the best conditions for the child. For example, the expectant mother should choose food especially carefully to provide her crumb with all the necessary nutrients and vitamins, and this is helped by an exacerbation of smell and taste.
In addition, many women note an increase in hunger, especially in the second half of pregnancy, which can not but affect the content of dreams. If in a dream we are hungry, we dream a variety of food. And if at the same time there are some "forbidden" products, from which the future mother for some reasons is forced to refuse during pregnancy, then they start to dream constantly, in such dreams there is a symbolic satisfaction of the needs of the mother.
Such an acquaintance stranger
I do not dream about my future child. In general, in my dreams, I do not see myself pregnant. Tell me, is this normal?
Strange as it may seem, the future baby and the very state of pregnancy rarely see women in position. Such dreams are more typical for mothers already having children. Apparently, this is due to the fact that the emergence of maternal experience makes it easier to create in the imagination the image of a future child. By the way, quite often the kids are dreaming of some kind of substitute images: kittens, puppies and other small animals.
The presence of experience also affects the state of the modern approach to the interpretation of the dream of childbirth: nulliparous women very rarely dream of giving birth, and their thoughts about an approaching event are often transformed into a story about holding a baby in their arms or feeding a newborn baby with a breast.
If you do not dream anything
I always had bright colorful dreams, but for several weeks now I have not seen a single dream. Recently, I do not sleep well at all. Maybe this is related to the period of pregnancy (38 weeks)?
Of course, dreams continue to you dream. Just now they are not remembered. Why is this happening? The first reason why people do not remember dreams is the fatigue accumulated during the day. The more tired a person is, the fewer dreams he remembers. It's no wonder that during these periods of pregnancy you get tired more than usual. The second reason is a change in the relationship between the phases of sleep in a future mother. In the third trimester, women sleep more sensitively, superficial and intermittent sleep. The sleep and wakefulness of the mother should be combined with the regime of the baby, and the woman's body prepares for this even before the birth. Pregnant seems to be tuned to respond sensitively to signals from the child, even in a dream. During this period, the dream phase with dreams is short, and dreams can become sketchy, incoherent, and therefore not remembered.
In any case, whatever it was, remember that now for you and the baby is most important for my mother's peace and good mood. Do not forget that very often dreams are just a reflection of our day-to-day thoughts, and try to think more often about what gives you pleasure. Enjoy your dreams!
