Pregnancy

Dear Peregrin,

The past 1 month occasionally and the past 4-5 days consecetively I've had these dreams. I dream that I've been putting on weight becoz I'm pregnant and there's nothing I can do about it.

The pregnancies are always unexpected and unwanted. In 1 dream I was considering an abortion...but my mom wouldn't let me.....and in all the dreams, I'm having difficulty coping with the problem....I do not know how 2 handle the situation.

What could these dreams be trying to tell me? I know there's some hidden message.....coz they have been continuously occuring.

thanx,

Hirnakshi

Good morning, Hirnakshi.

An unwanted pregnancy could represent any sort of responsibility, which you didn't ask for and don't want. It could be school, or a job, or something else. You want to avoid the responsibility before it begins - if it were one that already exists then you might be more likely to dream of babies or pets. Your mother in this case symbolizes your conscience - you know that you should not try to get out of the situation, even though you want to.

If there is a solution to your problem, it may become more apparent once you figure out what the problem really is. One bit of advice which is rarely wrong, though, is to ask for help. Just as no one should be expected to raise a baby without help, there should be help available for your problem too.

Pleasant dreams,

Peregrin
