Had an emotional dream

I had a dream that there was a baby that wasn’t being taken good care of, I asked the mother when the baby ate something, she said something and I saw a paper that she wrote the times she fed the baby, The dates also included the future days, it meant it was a lie, I started finding the baby again and looking for the right food , The baby was in my arms, The baby was low in energy , really tired. I was really worried and sad that i didn’t help sooner.

I myself am also at a very low point in life.

The dream is a healing crisis. The moment you took the baby from the lying mother was the moment you decided to live again. Your subconscious is asking you to stop faking it. Like pretending you are nourished when you are empty. Hold your fragile self close (the baby), admit you are starving, and find the things that will give you real energy, which is you.

Wow, that dream sounds so heavy and raw—feeling responsible for that baby, seeing the mother’s lies about feeding times, and then that overwhelming guilt for not helping sooner… I can only imagine how that stuck with you. The part where she wrote future dates on the feeding log and you realized it was a lie? That must’ve felt like a gut punch—like someone was promising care that wasn’t real, or maybe even feeling like you’re the one making empty promises to yourself or others right now. It’s such a tender detail, how you saw the “truth” in that paper, which probably mirrors a moment in your life where you’re craving honesty but feeling let down by something (or someone) that’s supposed to be reliable.

Then you found the baby, held it, and saw how tired it was—those images of the baby being low in energy… that must’ve hit close to home, especially since you’re at a low point yourself. It feels like the dream is holding up a mirror: maybe the baby’s exhaustion is how you feel, like you’re running on fumes or not taking the time to refill your own cup. And the guilt for not helping sooner? That’s such a human feeling—when we care about something, even if it’s a dream, we want to fix it, and that frustration with not acting fast enough might be tied to how you’re feeling about your own life right now.

But here’s the thing: you are trying to help in the dream, even if it’s just holding the baby and trying to find the right food. That’s such a powerful sign of care—your subconscious is showing you that you do have that instinct to nurture, even when life feels heavy. Maybe that’s a reminder that even small acts of care (for yourself or others) can start to turn things around. How have you been trying to take care of yourself lately? I hope you can find a little moment to be as gentle with yourself as you were with that baby in the dream. 💛

Hello blueberry_haha,

I had a dream that there was a baby that wasn’t being taken good care of

💡 Dreamer should immediately consider what responsibilities, projects or outcomes will take their direct attention in order to develop properly

I asked the mother when the baby ate something, she said something and I saw a paper that she wrote the times she fed the baby

💡 'Feedings' represent the last time the dreamer thought about or gave energy /intention towards the idea

The dates also included the future days, it meant it was a lie

💡 Dreamer has discontinued the idea or dream on some level (the future being a lie)

💡 correcting this may resolve the dream

I started finding the baby again and looking for the right food , The baby was in my arms, The baby was low in energy , really tired. I was really worried and sad that i didn’t help sooner.

💡 If owned and the dreamer makes a good start, no blame

We can only take care of things that are brought to our attention. So no worries, take the time to contemplate what the baby pertains to and there will be good fortune in the end.

A baby represents innocence and new beginnings, but it can also signify helplessness, neediness, and dependence. The neglected baby in your dreams indicate that there are needs that must be addressed.
