Dreams about your babies?

Have you ever had a dream about your baby, and then afterward felt so connected to them? [name]Even[/name] if they don’t technically exist yet?

That just happened to me. I had a dream last night about having a baby, it’s the third time I’ve dreamt of it, but this was the most vivid and realistic one I’ve ever had.
It was a boy and I remember his face so extremely well, and his name was exactly what I’ve wanted to name my fist son: [name]Nathaniel[/name].

I feel like in my dream I had my actual future son, which isn’t possible at all, but that’s how it feels. Now that’s all I’ve had on my mind all day, haha.

Anyone else ever experience anything like it?

I did when I was only 17. I had a dream that I was holding a toddler with beautiful blue eyes and beautiful ringlets named [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Next to me a man who’s face I couldn’t see was holding a blond haired baby girl with the same blue eyes. My daughters look exactly like the children in my dream. It sound’s crazy but I felt like I saw my future in that dream :slight_smile:

Me, too. I had a dream in college that I was married to one of my friends and that we had a little blonde boy. I remember that dream so vividly, because I saw the baby’s face… And when I woke up I sobbed because I realized he wasn’t real. And it was really weird because that guy and i had NO romantic involvement whatsoever at the time. Well, fast forward about 12 years, and I’m married to that same friend from the dream and we have a little blonde boy running around our house! I’m not saying it always happens, but sometimes dreams do come true. :slight_smile:

Aw, yay! [name]Inspiration[/name]. The dream had unconventional circumstances, but it was the perfect baby boy for me, I was head over heels in love with him, and it was my SO’s son. So hopefully that part comes true.

I did, it was the most vivid dream I had ever had and I truly felt like I knew my “son” who was growing inside me. My grandfather [name]RIP[/name] was there and we were planning on naming him after him. In my dream I went through and felt labor, had my son and introduced him to my grandpa (name and all) who told me how proud he was and how much of a lovely name it was. My family showed up, my grandpa was gone just like that. It was very deep and special. Then I learned I was having a girl! I think dreams are a manifestation of our thoughts, hopes and dreams.

I dreamt my daughter’s name was [name]Claire[/name], and I plan on naming her [name]Waverly[/name] xD

I had a really vivid dream a few night ago, and [name]Baby[/name] was a girl. We were in the nursery, I can remember how everything looked, and I was getting her ready for bedtime. I remember changing her, putting her sleepsuit on and putting her in her grobag. She was so beautiful with blue eyes and dark hair, and she was really sleepy, yawning and sucking her thumb. I sang her lullabies (I’m terrible at singing so that was interesting) and her name was [name]Laurel[/name] (or she had a pillow with that name embroidered on it in her bed). Then I woke up, and [name]Baby[/name] was still in my tummy! I can’t wait to meet my baby.

Aw, she sounds darling! Is [name]Laurel[/name] a name you’re considering?

I had a dream similar to your actually. I had a baby boy that was a spitting image of myself named [name]Theodore[/name]… my favorite boy name!

I’ve had dreams like these before… really vivid I felt like I was actually there. A baby boy named [name]Julian[/name] [name]James[/name] he was sleeping in his crib and he looked so peaceful that I picked him up and he just giggled and gurgled, I felt connected so deeply to him. My thoughts in here always go back to him so suddenly, it’s crazy! I have to confess I’m in love with my dream baby [name]Julian[/name] <3

I have dreamt about future babies lol. Before I was even that serious with my then girlfriend, I had a dream that she was carrying our baby, and she kept insisting we were going to have a boy, and that we were gonna name him [name]River[/name] [name]Danger[/name]. At the end of the dream, when she had the baby, it was the most adorable little girl (who admittedly looked nothing like our daughter [name]Miri[/name]) with blond hair and giant green eyes. I freaked out a bit afterwards (I was more than a little commitment shy back then) and almost broke up with her. It turned out okay though lol

I’m convinced that when ever I have children my first child will be a boy because I’ve had so many dreams about giving birth to one. He always looks the same and I usually name him something beginning with the letter A.

Not until my dream, now it’s on our list! I’m reading a book with a character named [name]Laurel[/name], so I guess that’s where it’s from.

Aw, it’s a sign. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m partial to [name]Laurel[/name] since it’s one of my birth middle names. blush

Had a dream like that when I was in my twenties. My then fiance and I were married, I was pregnant and went to the hospital…it was a long, drawn out dream that included choosing a name, checking out of the hospital, parents visiting, a nursery, being home for several days, then going to bed. I half woke, seemingly right out of the dream, and thought “I’d better go check on the baby.” I was actually on my feet and moving when I realized that the furniture was all different, and that’s when I realized I’d been dreaming. I burst into tears and felt like I’d lost a child. Years later when I was really naming a child, the name in the dream was off the table because I felt like it had already been taken.

Definitely!

I just got married and I am hoping to get pregnant. For the first time it seems “real.” My dreams have been a bit different from everyone’s. In my dreams I am cradling the baby and then it turns into a cat with a diaper on.

Is this a sign I should get a pet first? :slight_smile:

We always referred to our pets as our “practice children.”

I have dreams like that once in a while, and wake up upset knowing it wasn’t real. They can actually be kind of traumatizing. I have similar dreams of my wedding day, etc…things I want and know will happen some day but not yet. I wake up crying when it’s a dream.
