Dreams about giving birth often symbolize new beginnings, creativity, or the emergence of new ideas or aspects of yourself. Holding a baby that is the size of your forearm may suggest that this new aspect or project is still in its early stages, small, or perhaps feels manageable but requires nurturing to grow.
This dream could reflect your feelings about a new venture or responsibility in your waking life. It might also indicate a desire for personal growth or the development of a new talent or relationship.
Consider what new beginnings or changes are happening in your life. Are there any projects, relationships, or ideas that you are nurturing? Reflecting on these aspects can help you understand the deeper meaning of your dream.
