Dreaming of babies: meaning in Korea
In Korean tradition, a baby in a dream is a fresh start: new projects, small joys and an innocence that brings good luck.
What they say in Korea 아기꿈
In kkumhaemong, a baby stands for something beginning: a project, a relationship, an idea or a stage of your life. If the baby is healthy, smiling and looks at you happily, it is said to announce good news and a promising start. If you carry it in your arms, the reading speaks of a new responsibility that will help you grow. If the baby cries, some Korean interpreters read it as something asking for attention: a plan that needs more care before moving ahead. Korea also celebrates babies with gusto: at one hundred days old there is the baegil (백일) party, because every stage passed is cause for joy.
Depending on the details
if the baby smiles
A very favorable reading: a simple joy, sweet news or a project born under a lucky star. A sign of bright days ahead.
if the baby cries
Something new in your life needs more attention. It could be a project, a relationship or your own rest. Looking after it now prevents problems later.
if you find a baby
An unexpected opportunity lands in your hands. It might be a responsibility you were not looking for that, with good care, grows and brings you satisfaction.
And luck?
After dreaming of a baby, a Korean might start something new that very day, even something small, to give it good luck.
In other traditions
In the West dreaming of babies is tied to innocence, new beginnings, vulnerability or a wish to nurture. A crying baby can stand for a part of you that needs attention.
