What does it mean when you dream about headless babies?

Answer 1

It is certainly not a pleasant dream, but considering recent events- the Newtown massacre, surely it is based on reality. Death of children can and does happen, and not just from accidents.

While your dream probably draws the image of dead children from horrible real life tragedies, these images are also symbols that relate to your own individual thoughts and feelings. Children can represent innocence, vulnerability, priceless treasure, or potential for the future. Dreaming of dead children is a metaphor about the loss of that innocence or potential that will never be realized. However the symbol might reflect your own situation, it carries a sense of incomprehensible tragedy.

Children can also represent ideas and creations. Your pet projects, your hopes, and your dreams can be your "children." It is common to refer to projects at work as someone's "brainchild." However, you may give up on your projects, and never reach your goals. Just like babies can be aborted or miscarried, so can ideas, inventions, and projects, figuratively speaking.

Answer 2

Dreams present symbols and metaphors - they do not show actual events.

In this case, if the dreamer is a pregnant woman, the dream is merely an extreme example of the sort of vivid dreams that are common during pregnancy, caused by shifting hormones. It does not predict actual miscarriage or problems with the delivery. See the webpage linked below for further examples and discussion.

> If the dreamer is not pregnant, then the "baby" in the dream symbolizes a project, idea or task that is important to the dreamer, and the dreamer's fear that the project will fail.

Answer 3

You are very tired. You drink too much pickle juice before bad. And you don't like kids. You're probably also questioning you're sexuality.
