What does dreaming about baby mean in the Bible?

New life, promise, and something God is beginning

Children in Scripture are a heritage from the Lord, and a newborn is often how God signals a new chapter — the Savior Himself arrived as a baby in a manger. Dreaming of a baby frequently points to something new God is birthing: a calling, a work, a fresh start. In Christ, anyone can become a new creation. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, baby is filed under people & beings — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Psalms 127:3, Luke 2:12, 2 Corinthians 5:17. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to baby, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
