I stumbled upon your site and wondered if you all can help me.
I usually have very vivid dreams and this one is one of the ones that make you think when you wake up.

Last night I had a dream that I was in school briefly (I am 30 and going back to college and have a huge fear of it and my school dreams are usually long and bad) then it went into where I was cleaning my living room and in a side table with a cabinet I looked in there was a little nest with baby birds inside but they were miniature and alive, I closed the door so they weren't bothered. I looked in the other side table and there was a baby in there. He was a real baby and I knew he was mine but I didn't birth him he just grew in there. I took him out and he was blind his eyes were two different colors just like my daughters eye are and he had a think head of dark hair and didn't look like our other kids. I set him out the floor and didn't know what to do with him, I almost didn't want him out of fear. I was in shock. My husband came home and was laying on the couch and didn't seem very concerned we had another child. throughout the rest of my dream I was carrying the baby around and trying to figure out a name for him. He slowly seemed to act less blind and disoriented. I wanted him after that.

Can someone tell me what this might mean.

I wanted to add that after I became closer with the baby I went back and checked on the baby birds and they were dead.

I think the dream is about your fears of going back to college. Babies in a dream - the baby birds and the human baby - can represent changes and the beginnings of new things in your life.

The baby being blind can represent your feeling of being handicapped going back to college. You haven't been in a school environment there in a while and feel that you will be at a disadvantage compared to the other students. The fact that he doesn't look like your other kids also suggests that you are afraid you will be too different.

The fact that the baby starts to seem less blind and less disoriented is your unconscious' way of telling you not to worrry, that you will adjust.

I would add that you may be concerned that going to school will take away from your family. Judging by your husband's behavior in the dream, the concern is mostly yours and he is not affected by the new changes (represented by the babies). The baby birds dying may indicated that your fear will end as you embrace the new beginning (the human baby) no matter how things appear, and nurture your goals to fulfillment.

It's a great dream, actually.

Thank you two so very much. I didn't go back to school because I don't have enough time this fall. As soon as I realized I could not go back the dreams (there were more like this one) they stopped. I hope to go back this winter.
