It depends
Baby
A baby stands for new beginnings — a project, idea, or chapter just starting. A smiling, healthy baby is a bright sign; a crying baby asks you to tend something unfinished. Holding a baby can mean welcome new responsibility.
It depends how it appeared
The same symbol is read differently depending on what happened in the dream.
- You were holding it
- Read as a responsibility taken up willingly — something new that is now yours to carry, and welcome.
- It was laughing, or healthy
- The plain good sign in this symbol — the new thing is doing well without needing anything from you yet.
- It was crying and would not stop
- Not a bad omen but a request. Read as something started and left half-tended — the older books said to go back to it.
- You found a baby, or one was left with you
- Read as something arriving unasked. Whether it was welcome in the dream was what decided the reading.
- You lost it, or could not find it
- The caution here. Read as a beginning left unattended long enough to have gone somewhere you cannot see.
