Holding my new born baby and telling someone that it doesn't matter how old I am I still had a baby ...(my children are grown) and I'm holding the baby and I look down and he has a split tail and it's wiggling and I play with the tail . I woke up screaming scared because the baby looked so grotesque
Dreams can often be a reflection of our thoughts, fears, and desires. In this dream, holding a newborn baby is a symbol of new beginnings, potential, and your nurturing side. It may represent a new phase or project in your life, something you have recently "birthed" or are planning to launch.
The part where you mention telling someone that it doesn't matter how old you are in having a baby could indicate a desire for a fresh start or a new lease on life, regardless of your age or any societal expectations.
However, the unsettling part of the dream comes with the baby having a split tail. This could represent unexpected or unnatural aspects in this new phase of your life. You might feel anxious or concerned about hidden flaws or imperfections that could hinder your progress or lead to a sense of unease. Playing with the tail might symbolize your attempt to come to terms with and understand these unexpected elements, trying to find a way to integrate them into your life and make peace with them.
Your fearful reaction in the dream, awakening in a state of terror, may indicate underlying concerns or anxieties about these new beginnings and potential challenges they may bring. It could be beneficial to reflect on any apprehensions you may have and find ways to address them or seek support in order to navigate this phase of your life more confidently.
