What does dreaming about baby mean in the Bible?

New life, promise, and something God is beginning

In Scripture

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.
