You might have had dreams about things happening to your physical body – losing hair, having all your teeth fall off, levitating in air…the list is endless. You will wonder whether these dreams mean anything and try approaching a dream analyst if something bothers you. You won’t go a step lower if you dreamed you were pregnant for that matter!
Dreaming about pregnancy is a very common occurrence. About 70 percent of women have been known to dream regularly about getting pregnant. The dream seems so vivid; you start wondering if you are already one.
However, experts say that having a dream of pregnancy doesn’t mean that you or someone known to you is pregnant or is about to get pregnant. Ally Mead, noted dream interpreter confirms about pregnancy-related dreams are indicators of creativity. Just as a woman creates a new life from within herself, so is the dream associated with a creative period, a creative prospect or craving for something creative that can involve an exciting new or renovation project scaling between home-based to large-scale artistic work.
Mead also associates a pregnancy dream to something that is yet to be presented to the world. She belives, for instance, that people whose desires and goals have been disowned or unfulfilled, or have a compromised career or objective, might have these pregnancy dreams. Here are few more outlines on pregnancy dreams:

- If you dream that someone else that you know is pregnant, it could hint at the growing bond between you too.
- If you dream that your significant other is pregnant with someone else’s baby, it could be a symbol of you two drifting apart very soon with your common goals falling apart as well.
- If you dream that you are taking a pregnancy test, it might indicate your fears of any changes that life is bringing to you. You are not prepared to embrace these changes. On the other hand, it might simply mean that you are not ready to get pregnant yet and are afraid of taking a pregnancy test – “What if it turns out positive?”

Surprisingly some men might also have dreams of they getting pregnant. Ally Mead has had her male clients come to her with pregnancy dreams. Such dreams might be associated with the ‘universal symbol of fertility.’ She says,“ Since becoming a mother is one of the more socially accepted ways women get to experience and wield power, it can be a very rich and varied territory for dream analysis.” Pregnancy dreams might also have to do with something that has been left inside that is yet to be expressed or manifest.
