I saw in my dream that I am on my terrace and its raining heavily. The sky is all black and I am beside a wall holding a cortoon like baby in my hand. I started seeing it and wondering that I have just brought this baby with me and have not informed anyone about it. If my parents come to know of it they will scold me badly and will take away thus baby from me. I saw the baby and it was looking towards me with expectations and helplessness. Suddenly a fear shake through me that what if others come to know about this baby and within no time (I really don't understand why and how as I am not a person like that, I really love childrens) I brutally killed the baby by folding it through its backbone. Suddenly my dream broke and I was completely scared of my dream....
Dreams can often serve as reflections of our subconscious thoughts, fears, and desires. In your dream, several key elements stand out that can provide deep insight into your emotional state and inner conflicts.
The terrace in your dream may symbolize a transitional space—perhaps a place where you feel both safe and exposed. Being outdoors in the rain can reflect feelings of vulnerability or emotional distress. The dark sky suggests heaviness or overwhelming emotions, perhaps indicating that you are dealing with some internal turmoil or facing troubling situations in your waking life. Rain often signifies cleansing or renewal, but in this case, the intensity may indicate that you feel overwhelmed by your feelings or others' expectations.
The baby represents something new, innocent, or vulnerable that you feel responsible for. This could symbolize a new aspect of yourself, a project, or perhaps unresolved issues from your past. The fact that the baby is cartoon-like might suggest that this responsibility feels unrealistic or unattainable in some way. Holding it in your hands signifies that you are taking ownership, but you also feel an intense fear of judgment and rejection.
Your worry about your parents discovering the baby indicates anxiety regarding external validation and familial expectations. This suggests you might be wrestling with feelings of inadequacy or fearing disapproval in your current life. You may have taken on a new responsibility or aspect of your life that you feel unprepared for, and the thought of others judging you raises significant anxiety.
The brutal act of killing the baby symbolizes a drastic desire to escape or rid yourself of responsibility or fear. This could denote a fear of failure or a deep-seated belief that you are not capable of nurturing that which is precious—whether that be relationships, ambitions, or your own emotional wellbeing. The method, "folding it through its backbone," might represent feelings of constraint or limitation, as if something beautiful or innocent is being crushed under pressure.
This dream reveals a complex interaction of your anxieties about responsibility, fear of disapproval, and an innermost struggle against self-sabotage. It suggests that you might be feeling overwhelmed by the pressures placed upon you, leading to destructive thoughts about your capabilities.
This dream serves as a reminder to confront these feelings and take steps toward self-acceptance and emotional healing.
