What Does Holding a Baby in a Dream Mean Spiritually?
You look down in a dream and there is a baby in your arms. Before you start asking whose child it is, let me ask you something. What have you been praying about? In one of the pictures I describe in this teaching, being handed a beautiful baby can speak of receiving an answer to prayer.
What was it like to hold the baby?
There is a difference between waking up puzzled about the identity of a child and remembering how much joy you felt as soon as you held that child. In Luke 1, the announcement of John’s birth comes with the promise of joy and gladness. That is one reason I pay attention to the gladness in this kind of dream.
A newborn also gives us a picture of humility. You can be experienced, gifted and accustomed to giving other people direction. Then God puts a little child in the picture and reminds you what it means to receive help yourself.
A baby has an appetite for growth
A baby asks for what it needs to grow. I want you to consider your own appetite. Is there something you have been longing to understand about God? Do you still make room to learn, even when others look to you for answers?
When you pray, bring the actual scene with you. Lord, thank you for the prayers you have heard. Give me a teachable heart and help me recognise the good things you place in my hands.
Would you like me to interpret your dream?
I recommend joining me for a free dream interpretation on Zoom. We meet every Saturday and Sunday at 6 p.m. Nigerian time (WAT). Bring the part of the dream you remember. If Zoom asks for a passcode, enter UGbaY5.
If you’d prefer to tell me your dream privately, you can book a one-on-one session with me.
