The places we journey in our minds at night can tell us a lot about ourselves, our aspirations, our fears and so much more. Dreaming alone can teach us a lot when we’re awake. They make us face the realities of our own impermanence, the benefits of having an open mind and the importance of letting go of our worries.
However, there are many things we can learn while we’re in our dreams. The symbols we see and the things we experience can allude to bigger things we’re facing (or not facing) while we’re awake. Being aware of what our minds, our bodies and the universe is telling us can help keep us grounded with both our intentions and the path we’re meant to take.

On the other hand, dreaming of being pregnant could mean that you’re experiencing new beginnings or assuming more responsibility in your life.
