Birth
Birth in dreams often speaks to new beginnings emerging from deep within — a project, identity, or chapter of life taking form. Yet the dream may also carry anxiety about what this newness will cost, or whether you are ready for what arrives unbidden and irreversible.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for birth, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a married woman to dream of giving birth to a child, great joy and a handsome legacy is foretold.
For a single woman, loss of virtue and abandonment by her lover.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a birth is good for a poor man; to the sick it denotes death.
