I had a dream last night and I’m not sure of the true meaning.  In the beginning of the dream, I was pregnant and was spending time with my boyfriend watching movies and having a nice time.   Time progresses and I have the baby (a boy) and my boyfriend and I are really happy and I realize that we decided not to tell our family members until he was born and I decided to post it on Facebook (random, right?)  Both of us are close to our families so I’m not sure why it was hidden from them, or why i felt anxious to share the news or why i was even dreaming about being pregnant?  I felt attached the the baby and the room was white and he was wrapped in a blue blanket in a soft cradle.
My boyfriend and I both want kids but after we get married and it would be in a few years (and i’m not pregnant). This is the first time a dream had felt truly real in a long time and left me with an inkling of something missing or unknown.
I may be reading way to much into this but all day when i have tried to shrug it off i just kept feeling like a void that needs answers.

Answer:
In general, and on a symbolic level, dreams of pregnancy and babies represent new beginnings. Since you and your boyfriend both actually want children and plan to be married, there are a couple ways to look at this dream:
1) On a symbolic level, is there something new that you and your boyfriend are starting, that your families don’t know about? Try to get out of the literal aspect of the dream and think generally, asking yourself:  “is there something that my boyfriend and I are keeping private for now, that we are not sharing with our families?”
Then there is another level to look at dreams….
2) Is it precognitive?  Dreaming is the #1 place that any kind of precognitive (that means you dream it before it happens) or psychic activity is known to take place. Is this dream a glimpse of the future? Only time will tell, that is not my role to say. But what is your sense? Do you feel like this was a premonition? If you have a strong gut sense, then that may be the case. I always like to explore the layers – dreams are mysterious and fascinating that way. So I’m not calling any predictions but ask your intuition what fits, and if this void you are feeling is an awareness of something yet to come.
I hope this helps,
