Babies being born in a dream will usually represent something that is born from your own hard work and perseverance. This could be anything really from an idea that you have, which starts as a spark and then grows into something of more value, too of course a real live baby.
Babies represent something that needs to be nurtured and looked after, they require input and energy from you and this represents the effort that you must put into an idea or project in order for it to grow and develop.
Feeding a baby in a dream simply helps you to acknowledge that you have to feed and nurture something for it to grow, feeding your idea or project etc.
Giving birth in a dream links your idea or project with the real world and describes the act of delivering your ideas and making them happen.
All this comes from the saying “It’s my baby” in that I will protect, look after and nurture this until such a time that it can survive on its own. There is also love, blood and sweat involved in the process of taking care of what you have created. If this does turn out to be symbolic for an actual baby, the symbolism will still hold up and be equally valid.
It is rare in dreams that a baby represents an actual baby, although of course this dream can be literal in its meaning, I have met people who have dreamt of having a baby or being pregnant and then found this to be true, but to be honest the translation is the same because the real baby will demand the same amount of input from you and the same amount of love, nurture and care as any idea or project that you wish to develop. Therefore dreaming of giving birth to a baby could also be a premonition dream.
I had a dream that I was bottle feeding my baby and I saw things floating in his bottle, so I decided to have a look at the powder used to make the milk and I saw that there were beetles, giant flies, bear feet and claws in it. I was sifting through it looking at all the things at the bottom.
This type of dream is typical for a new mum, babies come to us so pure and new, they are innocent and so so lovable all of them. Have you ever looked at a baby and thought I wish you could stay this adorable and pure of heart all your life and wish that they never have to experience anything bad or hurtful. Well, I think your dream is helping you to acknowledge that this world is a harsh and nasty one sometimes. We can't protect our children from all the things that life dishes up to them. To be honest it wouldn't be right to protect them from everything anyway, wrap them in cotton wool and lock them away from harm. They have come here to experience, the same as us and experience they will. They will have their heart broken and clawed at, they will experience the negative and the positive of being in love.
The bear claws describe anything that can cause hurt, the flies eat up the negativity and yet we don't like them do we, no one likes to experience negative things, but it is these things that make us human, these experiences that help us grow and become an all-rounded loving individual.
The beetles symbolise protection from negativity, you wish to protect your beautiful baby from all the negative things that life will dish up. This dream is helping you understand that protecting a young one from life itself is impossible, any mother or father will tell you this.
Coincidentally, all the symbols you have mentioned have duo meanings because each one stands to represent the positive and negative bringing balance. Bears are seen as a protective force in the positive translation like the mother and father, they also symbolise strength and protection available from someone stronger, bigger and wiser. Bears are also a force to be reckoned with and can be used to symbolise an overbearing person in its negative form.
Bugs are disliked and seen as a negative symbol but they actually consume negativity and leave positivity. They can represent minor aggravations and we all know life is full of these, flies eat the bad and leave the good. Beetles are also disliked and are viewed as pests but they were worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, they recycle decay and were used to protect ancient tombs and the residents within.
The nurture you give your child will always come under attack from outside influences but you will have to be stronger, bigger and wiser and it will be your positive care, love and influence that will nourish your child.
Welcome to parenthood!
