🍼Dream About Breastfeeding or Feeding a Baby

You were feeding something that could not feed itself. The act was intimate, necessary, and entirely about giving.

Feeding a baby represents nourishing something new in your life. Not just maintaining it — actively providing the sustenance it needs to survive and grow.

If breastfeeding felt natural and peaceful, the giving flows easily. Whatever you are nurturing — a project, a relationship, a creative work — is being fed by something that comes naturally from inside you. You are the source.

If feeding was difficult or painful, the nurturing is costing you. You are giving, but it hurts. Your own resources are being depleted in the process of keeping something else alive.

If the baby would not eat, what you are offering is not what it needs. Your approach to nurturing this new thing — the project, the relationship, the goal — is not working. The baby is rejecting the nourishment because it needs something different from what you are providing.

If someone else was feeding the baby, another person is providing what the new thing in your life needs. This could be relief (someone helping you carry the load) or it could be concern (someone else is shaping something you should be nurturing yourself).

If you had no milk or no food, your own reserves are empty. You cannot feed something new because you have not fed yourself. Your unconscious is saying what you probably already know: you cannot pour from an empty cup.
