fear of birth

Hi Jennifer –

Dreams are so strange sometimes, aren’t they?

I am curious if your dream may not be representing your anticipation of childbirth. The butchers sound like doctors in a delivery room to me – and the milk is certainly associated with babies as well. And the butchers – after they scoop out the meat – hold it high in the air. Not unlike a doctor holding up a newborn by his ankles – to give it that first swat on the bottom – to begin the breath of life.

The fact that you were disgusted in the dream suggests a sense of trepidation on your behalf regarding delivery – which is of course completely normal.

What do you think? Possible? If this interpretation holds a ring of resonance for you – be sure to read the other dreams in “Fear of Pregnancy” section.

Dear Dream Doctor,

Sounds right to me. I’ve definitely been feeling some fear about the upcoming delivery. By the way, when I told my mother about this dream, that’s the interpretation she came up with too! 🙂
