Third
Trimester Pregnancy Dreams
In the third trimester, dreams
become
more frequent, more bizarre, more confusing and even more vivid. After all, you
are getting up at night several times because you need to go to the bathroom,
you need to shift to a different sleep position or the baby just kicked you
awake. Dreams
in the third trimester are often about growing anxieties with being a good mother
and concerns with labor and birth.
Cheating
Dreams Pregnant
women report dreams of being cheated on with higher frequency. As your body
changes and your belly expands, you may not feel as attractive or desirable.
With a baby on the way, your entire life will change and you are worried that your significant other will
not want to stick around. At the same time, you are depending on him more and
more, whether it is making a food run to satisfy your late night craving, giving
you a helping hand to get up from the sofa, or just doing chores around the
house, making you feel even more vulnerable. These feelings of
insecurity and vulnerability are manifested in dreams where your husband or
boyfriend is having an affair. Remember that dreams of infidelity are often not
a reflection of actual events. Your hormones may be to blame for some of these
up and down emotions. Read

Dreams
of Labor As
your due date nears, dreaming of labor is quite common. After all, your mind is
probably preoccupied with when you will go into labor, how will it happen, will
you get to the hospital in time, where
will you be and what not? Usually these dreams depict something
going wrong with labor, you can't find your doctor, you have no way to get to
the hospital, you go into labor early, putting the baby back into your uterus, etc.
These dreams indicate your desire for control. Although such dreams can be somewhat unsettling, it
actually prepares you for the real thing when the time comes. Something
Happens To The Baby Typical
dreams include not being able to answer the baby's cries, forgetting where you
put the baby, misplacing the baby, dropping the baby, etc. You are questioning your ability as a mother and if you will be a
good mother. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed and fear you are unable to meet
the demands of the baby. Once again these dreams are not a true reflection of how you will
be as a parent, but rather your mind's way of working through some of your fears
and anxieties. Such dreams are also an indication that your motherly instinct is
already kicking in and your desires to protect her or him. Large
Animals And Objects While
small, fuzzy baby animals were the theme during the first trimester, larger animals
are more dominate in the third trimester. Dreams of whales, elephants, dinosaur,
as well as towering buildings, factories, skyscrapers, buses and trucks may reflect your growing
belly and how you are moving about. In the third trimester, the animals may even
talk in your dream which signifies the growth of the baby. Being
Attacked Or Chased Dreams
of being attacked can be very unsettling. Many pregnant women report dreams of
being attacked or chased by zombies, aliens, vampires, ghosts, demons, gun men, serial killers, wild animals or
some other menacing figure. Once again these dreams are a sign that your motherly
instinct is acting up and how you will protect your baby from all harm. Your
guard is up more than ever. As your due date nears, you may be feeling more
stress. Your limited mobility may also make you feel vulnerable and helpless
which may also be fueling these troublesome dreams. In
some scenarios, dreams of being attacked by animals may also be a warning that
you need to take caution with someone around you. Take notice of who you know in
your waking life that shares and exhibits the same qualities of the animal that
attacked you in your dream.

Water Symbols While
water is a common theme in your dreams throughout your pregnancy, it takes a
dramatic turn in the third trimester. Dreams
of oceans, drowning, tidal waves, and breaking waters are prevalent at this
stage. In previous trimesters, the water was usually calm, tranquil, and
contained, while the water is depicted as massive, active
and violent in dreams during the third trimester. This
may be because you are feeling overwhelmed or inundated. Or
perhaps it is due to the fact that you are retaining water and swelling up.
These water images also reflect your anticipation of your water breaking and the imminence
of labor. Dreams
