I had a dream last night that I had another baby. I was standing in the shower and I just had the baby, and handed it to my husband. Now I have no desire to have more children, as I already have three. Is this some kind of sub-conscious desire for another, or just my hormones working over-time?

Hi Mother of Enough -

I think the answer to your question lies in your feelings during the dream. Were you excited about the new baby? Thrilled for its arrival? Or were you more resigned to the fact that now you and your husband had another child to care for? Perhaps this also is the symbolic significance of handing the child to your husband - as if to say - it’s your responsibility as well.

You signed your dream “Mother of Enough,” which indicates you are happy with the number of children you already have and are not anxious to have more. In this light, perhaps your dream is a bit of an anxiety dream as well. If you do not wish to have more children, the dream may represent a trace of anxiety you hold about becoming pregnant again.
