Oneirology is a science that studies dreams. Entire treatises have been written about prophetic visions. There are real cases where dreams helped in life. Dreams have been mentioned in all known religions since antiquity. There is a description of how Maha Maya, the woman who gave birth to Buddha, saw a white elephant in a dream before he was conceived. The Koran states that Amina bint Wahb saw a vision of a growing green tree. Such a dream predicted an imminent conception.
In the Christian religion, conception and birth have always been foretold through vision. And mothers did not necessarily have such dreams. Her father Joachim had a prophetic dream about the birth of the Virgin Mary. And the next day to his wife Anna. Although these were elderly people and no longer hoped for the miracle of the birth of a child.
Humanity is accustomed to looking for explanations for its visions. The first mention of dream interpreters appeared on the papyri of ancient Egypt. There are entire treatises devoted to the symbolism of night visions, foreshadowing important events: marriage, conception, birth.
Young girls and women, by the nature of their subconscious, are focused on motherhood. The debate over whether dreams can foretell pregnancy has not been going on for a long time. After such a vision, the woman wakes up with a persistent feeling of imminent conception.
What dreams portend pregnancy? Let's figure it out now.
Fish
First of all, great importance is attached to dreams with live fish. Pictures in which she is present in a pond can be regarded as a sign to a young girl that she will soon conceive. The surest sign is if there is a conversation with the fish, the tongue is shown, accompanied by a smile or laughter.
Catching this river inhabitant with bare hands in clean, clear water is another undeniable sign. Usually these kinds of dreams foreshadow a twin pregnancy. And if the catch is successful and more than one fish is caught, then the number of individuals predicts the number of children the woman will have in her life.
Buying a living river inhabitant from a male or female seller is a hint about the gender of the child. What else determines whether a girl or a boy will be born? The gender is also indicated by the type of fish. Perch, carp or carp symbolize a boy, burbot, catfish and pike are a hint of the appearance of a girl.
Sometimes a close relative (mother or sister), who is not expecting a new baby, may have a prophetic dream. A fish swimming towards the raging mother makes it clear who the message is intended for. What does it mean to talk with a friend on the shore of a pond with splashing carp or trout? Such a dream symbolizes for a girl not her pregnancy, but the one with whom the conversation was held.
Fried fish can also mean a hint of pregnancy. But in this case it must be tasty and juicy. The fried fish should be eaten directly by the girl or her chosen one. A clearer sign will be if you dream of sharing a meal with a dish.
A man may dream about a pregnancy of a friend or wife. Usually these are dreams about a pond with clear water, in which there are a lot of fish. It’s especially good if she splashes happily and jumps out of the water. Another prophetic vision is of fishing with a rich catch, where fish are removed from the hook with bare hands.
It happens that in a dream there is a body of water and its inhabitants, but it is interpreted as a negative dream. The fish was caught by the girl, but missed (slipped out of her hands), such a message foreshadows a miscarriage. But still, even if you saw this, you shouldn’t get upset and set yourself up for negativity.
Characteristic sign
Even an ardent skeptic will think for a moment if his girlfriend reports that she dreamed of a fish. And there is reason for doubt, because from youth it is known that in dreams foreshadowing pregnancy, this inhabitant of reservoirs always appears.
But you shouldn’t be happy or upset in advance. Many dream books have other interpretations on this matter: acquisitions, surprises, temptations, the end of the “dark streak”.
Sure signs that promise a quick addition to the family include:
- direct fishing;
- touching or acquiring an aquatic animal with your hand;
- eating fried juicy fish.
Other provisions and conditions have a different meaning that is completely unrelated to pregnancy. For example, if the fish:
- lies on the table - desire for praise from superiors or a loved one, lack of attention;
- swims in an aquarium - daily pleasant worries;
- rotten and stinks - financial losses.
It is also worth paying attention to the emotional and psychological mood of a person. Dreams about fish are unlikely to be prophetic in the following situations:
- A woman has been wanting to give birth to a child for a long time or, on the contrary, is afraid of this, and is also aware that she should dream about a fish.
- A man really wants his girlfriend not to get pregnant.
- Before going to bed we talked about fish; its image was in films and books.
In such cases, these are not prophetic signs, but the emancipation of the subconscious while relaxing the body.
A body of water is an accompanying sign. Dreams with its presence can be varied:
- clean transparent surface with numerous aquatic inhabitants;
- swimming in a pond, river, lake;
- fording
Anything associated with a large amount of water in dreams is a sign that speaks of impending conception. The only condition for this is clean flows. The muddy, dirty surface of a reservoir has another interpretation - impending illnesses and troubles.
Children
Visions in which children are present do not mean that this is a dream foreshadowing pregnancy. Such pictures are often dreamed by pregnant women who are worried about the outcome of childbirth. In these dreams, the mother can see the color of the hair, hear the voice and understand what gender the child is. The age of the child can be very different. Sometimes such a dream is not immediately remembered. After birth, at a certain stage, at some point the vision emerges in memory and the mother vaguely remembers that she has already seen and experienced this somewhere.
Egg as a sign of motherhood
Eggs are called one of the surest harbingers of the imminent birth of a baby. Usually, a pregnant woman simply dreams of eggs, sometimes of chicks hatching from them. If the eggs break, then most dream books agree that such a sign usually means bad news, even troubles.
The egg itself is a sign of the origin of life, where the shell means the safety and security of the offspring. If such a structure is disrupted, then there is reason to believe that imminent events will harm the future addition to the family.

Watermelon
Watermelons symbolize the mother's womb. But not all interpreters come to a consensus on this matter. In biblical interpretations, this berry is a harbinger of imminent conception. There is a modern interpretation of if you saw a watermelon in a dream. Why do you dream about such a berry? There are two explanations for this. For young girls, such a dream speaks of imminent marriage. For patients, such a vision promises a quick recovery and recovery. For men who are busy with business and affairs, dreams with this berry promise a quick receipt of goods or money. What does it mean to choose a watermelon at the market in a dream? Why do you dream like this? For women - to gossip and gossip, for men - to clashes and conflicts at work.
Water and everything connected with it
Since ancient times, water has meant life, and in dreams it always means change. Often this speaks of a specific event - the birth of a child. Conceiving a child means the birth of a new life, and water in dreams confirms this. If the dreamer swims in the water, and especially swims in the lake, pregnancy is not far off . But various water bodies can appear at a later stage, when a woman is about to give birth. Sometimes a future father can dream of a pond.
Traditionally, the first harbingers of conception are dreams associated with fish. By the way, Sigmund Freud himself agreed with this interpretation. Catching fish with bare hands in clean water is also a harbinger of imminent conception. This picture also shows the number of children that will be born. Very often, women who are about to give birth to twins have a vision. A dream in which a girl caught a fish in the water with her hands, but it slipped out of her hands and dives back into the pond, is interpreted by the dream book as a future miscarriage or forced abortion.
Why dream of swimming, swimming in the river: the meaning of the dream
Buying live fish in a dream is also a sign notifying the young lady of an upcoming interesting situation. It is worth remembering who the fish is bought from, men or women: the dream indicates the gender of the unborn child.
Pregnancy
Seeing yourself pregnant in a dream does not mean at all that it is a prophetic dream. Our subconscious rarely sends clear and clear images that take place in real life.
But seeing a pregnant friend in a dream is a sign that, most likely, the dream will come true. This girl will soon find out about her situation or share the good news with you. For unmarried ladies, dreams in which they are pregnant signify deception and warn of danger. For a married woman, this vision is interpreted differently: it means an imminent major purchase.
Seeing an unfamiliar pregnant woman in a dream means profit and prosperity in the family.
Giving birth in a dream is a good sign for women making plans for the future. The dream means that everything will come true, but you will have to suffer. Taking birth from another woman is a hint of imminent difficulties and problems. Sometimes pregnancy dreams of a salary increase or an inheritance.
Seeing Pregnancy in a dream: Large modern dream book
Pregnancy for a woman - the married life of this woman cannot be called happy; a woman will always be oppressed by the thought that she was in a hurry, that she was cheap, that if she had been a little more experienced at one time, she could have made a better match (and there were more worthy contenders!); the woman doesn’t like everything in her life, even her children don’t bring her joy, because they look like her husband and you can’t call them child prodigies.
A young unmarried girl dreams that she is pregnant - this dream does not bode well for her; if a girl is imprudent and frivolous, she will find herself in a situation from which she can only get out of it with shame; in former times, for such deeds, the gates were smeared with tar; let this girl be more selective in her relationships.
If a pregnant woman sees herself pregnant in a dream, it is considered a good dream by the dream book; he says that the birth will occur on time and will proceed without complications; this woman will have healthy offspring. A man sees a pregnant woman in a dream - in real life - to minor troubles.
Flowers
Some flowers seen in dreams are attributed to the meaning of an early pregnancy.
For example, a lotus flower on the surface of the water or when they go into the water and pick flowers. Cornflower is a sign of an upcoming interesting situation. Therefore, if you have had a beautiful dream where they present you with a whole bouquet of cornflowers or forget-me-nots, you can prepare for an addition.
Objects seen briefly
There are also a number of indirect hints about an imminent joyful event. This includes objects seen briefly, on which attention was not focused.
This could be a baby rattle, crib, toy doll, baby vest, booties, pacifier, baby bottle. Pregnancy also dreams of choosing a new dress, especially if it is blue, as well as peace, tranquility in the house and a pleasant feeling of someone's presence.
Emotions at the moment of awakening
The emotional situation at the moment of awakening is very important. A feeling of joy and good mood is the best indicator that the dream is positive. But the feeling of anxiety at the moment of awakening is not always an indicator of bad events in the near future. Perhaps your fears and concerns that you try to suppress find expression in your dreams. Maybe you should drink a soothing decoction before bed, take a warm bath, and help your body relax as much as possible. Peace in your soul will bring peace to your dreams.
The famous astrologer and soothsayer Nostradamus saw a large number of prophetic dreams. He explained this by a heightened sense of his intuition. He attributed these abilities to one degree or another to all humanity. We see hints of many events in our dreams, but we discard them in the morning, considering them unnecessary information.
