Dream Dictionary Baby Boy

The baby, when it shows up in your dreams, usually functions as a symbol to let you know that you have been preoccupied with children in some way. You have been thinking about kids too much in your daily life and since your brain has become so preoccupied with them; they are beginning to show up in your subconscious too, or your dreams to be more precise. However, babies usually show up as androgynous in dreams, or at the very least many people seem to simply forget their genders once the dream is over. When the gender of the baby becomes a matter of importance and you continually see a baby boy in your dreams rather than a baby of ambiguous gender, then you have a little bit more digging to do to find out what this means.

The baby boy acts as a symbol for undeveloped masculinity. Now of course this does not mean that you are not masculine or that you show no signs of masculinity. This simply means that you have not been giving many opportunities in life to exercise your masculinity and it shows. This is the same interpretation for men and women. Every woman has a masculine side and every man has a feminine side. Whether you are a man or woman, if you dream about a baby boy there is a good chance that this is because you are about to be given a chance to display your masculinity for a wider audience.

Dreaming of a baby boy can also mean that you simply want to have a boy. When it gets right around time for you to have a child, a series of dreams like this expresses your desire to have a male child. If you are a man, then this desire usually rises out of the desire to raise a child in your own image and teach them all that you know. If you are a woman then this desire usually rises out of your personal desire to have someone to spoil. Have you ever heard of the term mama's boy? Perhaps you want someone to baby when it gets to be time for you to be a mother. A word of warning though: try not to smother your child too much. Otherwise your child will never truly grow up or understand how the adult world works.

A baby boy as a dream symbol can also mean the opposite of wanting to express your masculinity. This can function as a desire to not have to display your masculinity to others at any costs. Your masculinity is on the level of that of a small child. Showing off is not your style and it will not take you far in life. Make sure not to try and put yourself in a situation in which you might have to contest your masculinity or your ability to do any heavy lifting. You know what kinds of circumstances put you in this kind of situation, so just make sure not to fall into any traps. You probably already know this as well, but do not fall for peer pressure either. Peer pressure can lead you to do silly things that an educated mind would normally tell you are dangerous and unintelligent.
