Each woman lives her pregnancy differently but there are some common concerns that are reflected in nightmares. Do you want to know what are the most frequent nightmares when you are pregnant?
+ Dream with your ex -partner
We consider a nightmare to dream of your ex -partner in full pregnancy because the only thing you lacked was to conjure ghosts of the past. But that is, it is a frequent dream in pregnant women and the appearance of your ex -partner does not have to obsess you either. It is normal that being worried about your future, scenes and protagonists of your past appear.
+ Dream with animals
That animals appear in dreams is usual at any time in your life, but during pregnancy they can become nightmares. You can dream that your pet dies, for example, as a reflection of your fears for not knowing how to take care of your baby. But struggles with wild animals such as lions or crocodiles are also frequent because you feel overcome by the situation.
Animals are dreamlike elements that transmit great strength even if they appear in the form of nightmares. Do not be afraid of them, but pay attention to what type of animals appear. If they are wild animals, the dream will be more related to your instinct. On the other hand, if these are domestic animals, the dream will have a meaning related to the family and unconditional love.
+ Dream with your baby
The baby who is about to reach your family can become the protagonist of your dreams and do it in the form of nightmares. Do not be scared to dream of his death, with the baby crying or with which you take him anguished to the hospital because they are frequent nightmares that are not premonitory; Just reflect your greatest fears.
May the baby fall out of arms, forgot about him in a public place or kidnap it are regular nightmares as a result of your insecurity against motherhood. The question underlying this type of nightmares is: I will be able to do it well? And it is normal, let both bad dreams and nightmares pass so as not to obsess your mother role.
+ Dream with your childhood
Pregnancy is a very special time that is marked by changes. Physical changes that you notice every day and changes in your lifestyle in the immediate future. Therefore, it is normal for you to review your life in dreams and if you are with the agitated spirit, it is normal for nightmares to appear.
Nightmares with your childhood, with falls in the swing, fight with your playmates, punishments of your parents or feeling of abandonment, isolation or loneliness. It is not always memories, but these dreams are still in line with highlighting your concerns about your baby’s future.
+ Dream with water
Water is an important element in pregnancy nightmares. Maybe because you are waiting for that dreaded and longed for time to break waters and start delivery. Or because water is still one of the most important dream symbols. The water that cleans and purifies, but also the water in which you can drown when anxiety surpasses you.
You should not surprise yourself if in your dreams you are in terrible situations like drowning in the sea or sinking into dirty and stagnant waters. It is a mechanism of your mind to make you see that you are in a delicate emotional moment, but you will float, that sure.
The important thing is that you do not take your nightmares literally and do not let them obsess you. Your dreams indicate those aspects of your life in which you are more vulnerable as self -safety, self -esteem or doubts and you can try to improve them, of course, but the most important thing is that you focus on discovering the miracle of pregnancy, their secrets and enjoying the arrival of your baby.
