Dreaming of future children

Name changed because I know a few people on here and they’d laugh at me.

Has anyone ever dreamed of there future children? Sounds like a crazy question and I’m very willing to bet I was exhausted (had too much food/glasses of wine) last night however I had a dream while I passed out on the sofa.

There was a little boy and small baby girl and the little boy came running to me and asked if I would mind if he were my child because he thought I would maybe prefer the girl. I felt this intense feeling of love and connection and took him and gave him a massive hug and said of course I would love him. Then I woke up. It was extremely vivid.

Me and DP are also currently considering trying to conceive so it’s something that’s on my mind. I did also have a slight preference for a girl but that dream has made me realise I really don’t mind and would love any child.

Totally willing to bet it was too much food, alcohol and little sleep I’ve had recently but it got me thinking. Has anyone ever dreamt of there future children?

Before I had children I would have these dreams all the time. That I was holding a baby and I felt so much love and so fulfilled. Something would always go wrong though, the baby would disappear or mutate in to something else. I always woke up feeling devastated. I think it's because I desperately wanted children but they were out of reach for so many years. As soon as I had my first the dreams stopped. Your dream sounds lovely.

I've only had this once and it was so clear and vivid that I actually felt heartbroken for the next few days. It was about a little girl and I was so, so happy. She was smiling.

Still single and hoping :(

Yes, I used to dream a lot that I had given birth to a big baby boy! It was so vivid. However, at the time, I was resolutely anti having children, and v happily child free… but I do think that deep down, there was a primal urge to have a baby.

I’m now 10 weeks pregnant (planned after meeting DH in my 40s and having a huge change of heart) and thinking the baby is a boy! I had a blood test yesterday so will know in a week or so 😊
