I am pregnant Recently I had a dream that was so vivid and seemed so real that it woke me up. In the dream, I was pregnant. I kept holding, rubbing and patting my tummy. Everyone else in the dream wanted to touch my bump too. I kept glancing down and watching it grow beautifully. When I woke up, I felt a little sad that it was only a dream. Can you help me to analyse it? Karen, Glasgow Dear Karen, In your letter, you tell me that you’re 32 and in full-time employment, but feeling rather as though you’re stuck in a rut. You also mention that you do not currently have a partner. Dreams like yours are not uncommon. Often, they simply reflect a yearning to have a baby. You say nothing about wanting to be pregnant, but even if you’re not aware of feeling broody, your dream could indicate a subconscious desire to fulfil your maternal instinct. Yet the fact that your bump grows before your eyes makes me suspect that the meaning may be more symbolic than literal. Could it be that you’re about to experience a new lease of life? Dreams about being pregnant can indicate that a hitherto hidden side of your nature will soon emerge - perhaps new confidence or abilities you didn’t know you possessed. Your dream suggests that those close to you are happy to affirm your potential. Have you discussed your need to change with your family and friends? With their encouragement, you could embrace a new perspective and enter a more fruitful phase of your life.  (Sun Taurus, Moon Scorpio)
