I was recently having dinner with my friend Claire who is six months pregnant, and all through the meal she was lovingly rubbing her swollen tummy and talking to her unborn baby. Over dessert, we continued to chat about our careers and personal lives. She mentioned my new book, Bond With Your Baby Before Birth, which she had just read. She expressed surprise over the fact that I had written a book about how an unborn baby can communicate with his mother-to-be.
“But, why?” I asked her, puzzled. “You’ve been speaking with your unborn baby all evening.”
“Yes,” she admitted. “But I never thought that he could talk back!”
We both laughed.
“He’s telling me right now,” I said, “that he’s going to be born two weeks before his due date.”
“But that’s exactly what keeps going through my head!” Claire gasped. “Does that mean that the baby is really talking to me?”
“Absolutely,” I said.
“So…I’m not just talking to myself?”
“You have to trust in what you hear,” I assured her. “Your baby has been trying to bond with you.”
“But what if my husband, or mother-in-law, thinks I’m crazy?”
“Won’t be the first time.”
We both laughed again.
“And I’m having all of these weird dreams,” said Claire. “Some nights they’re really happy; but, then, at other times, they’re the worst nightmares I’ve ever had!”
I shared that dreams become much more vivid during pregnancy, because our natural intuitive ability becomes much more pronounced at that time…like our waistline! I explained that in my psychic work, I discovered that there are two kinds of pregnancy dreams:
- Intuitive dreams that originate from a woman’s unborn baby that are reassuring, uplifting, informative, and inspirational
- Mental, fear-based nightmares that are fueled by worry, anxiety, depression, insecurity, or anger
“But how can I tell the difference between them?” asked Claire.
I explained that it’s easy to differentiate between the two kinds of dreams, because intuitive dreams are typically positive in nature, and mental dreams are negative or frightening.
“Where do you think they come from?” asked my friend. “And why are they occurring?”
“I believe that pregnancy dreams are so vivid because psychic ability becomes more pronounced during pregnancy,” I told her. “Plus, surging hormones affect a woman’s physical and emotional equilibrium while awake or asleep; as well as concerns over the pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the huge life transition after the baby arrives.”
I also shared that there are two types of intuitive dreams:
- Literal: conveying messages or information that is exactly what you hear, see, or sense as the dream unfolds
- Symbolic: conveying psychic messages through sound, color, or symbols that have to be interpreted
“In a dream last night, I heard music,” said Claire. “Is that what you’re talking about?”
“Exactly!” I confirmed. “You may also experience pregnancy dreams in which you “see” visual images in your mind’s eye, hear different kinds of sounds, become aware of smells, and even have the sensation of being lightly touched.”
“Why do I keep having a recurring dream?”
“I believe that there are basically two causes of recurring pregnancy dreams,” I said. “The dreams could be coming from ongoing stress; or, your unborn baby is trying to get your attention by repeatedly presenting the same messages until you understand what he is trying to tell you.”
“So, should I keep a journal of these dreams—like I did before I got pregnant?”
“That’s a very good idea,” I agreed. “If you start a pregnancy dream journal, it will allow you to recognize patterns in dreams that are recurring; help you build confidence in your psychic ability as actual events take place that you first saw in your dreams; allow you to better gauge stress levels if you’re having a lot of mental fear-based dreams; and, a pregnancy dream journal can also be a heartfelt one-of-a-kind diary that you can present to your child when he is older.”
“I never thought of that!” said Claire. “I love the idea of getting to know my baby before he’s born! I have so many questions for him, now that I know he can communicate with me.”
“When you speak with him,” I suggested, “just listen to whatever pops into your head. Have faith that you are not simply talking to yourself. The dialog that’s going on inside your head is a conversation between you…and the little soul that has chosen you for his mother-to-be.”
