Pregnant woman
A woman carrying a child — a body holding a new life that is not yet separately present in the room.
A pregnant woman in a dream is the dream's image of a body holding a new life that is not yet separately present in the room. The pregnancy is not a metaphor in dreams as often as is sometimes claimed; the image is its own real thing — a person currently in the work of bringing another person into being, and at the same time everyone else's image of expected arrival. The dream brings the pregnant woman when something in your life — an idea late in its development, a relationship about to change shape, a literal pregnancy in your circle — is in the stage where what is coming has weight and presence and is not yet separately visible. A pregnant woman calm and rested in late phase is the dream affirming the right kept condition. A pregnant woman exhausted and ignored, the body carrying the future with no help from the room, is the dream noting that the work of bringing the new thing in is being shouldered alone, and the household has not yet remembered who is doing what.
