Baby
A new self, a creative beginning, vulnerability.
JungianFolk
A baby in a dream is a new life arriving. Sometimes it is a literal premonition; more often it is a creative project, a relationship, or an emerging part of the self that needs the same attention a baby needs. A forgotten baby is one of the most frequently reported dream motifs — the dreamer has been neglecting something essential and small. A baby you deliver is classically the Self being born into a new form; a baby that speaks in an adult voice, the wisdom of the Divine Child archetype. Notice whose baby it is in the dream: sometimes the dream assigns you a parent role over a part of yourself you have been treating as an orphan.
