Analyst LAUREN LAWRENCE reveals the secrets behind Daily News readers’ dreams
HER VISIONS ARE PREGNANT WITH POSSIBILITIES
In a recurring dream that started when I was young, the concept was always pregnancy. In many dreams, I am pregnant with a big belly. Other times I give birth to a baby and tell everyone about it. Sometimes I dream someone else is pregnant, but mostly I am the one having the baby. In these dreams I am terrified of telling my father. I am joyful, but a bit scared or worried that something bad will happen to the baby. Please interpret these dreams.

Analysis: Dreams of pregnancy are often symbolic of burgeoning creativity — the wish to bloom, grow and evolve, the wish to enlarge the persona, the sense of self. These dreams also reveal the wish to become a mother, to nurture, protect and be the one in control of the situation. Although you need to be independent of your family, you are keenly aware that going out on your own — caring for yourself — is a huge weight to carry.
IN THIS HOUSE, EVERY FLOOR HAS A STORY
I dreamt that a postman hand-delivered a letter to me. I knew it must be important but I did not want to read it, so I gave it to someone else to read. Then we saw this home that had a beautiful first floor, but the upstairs was very messy. The owner asked if I wanted to see the basement, but I declined. I did not want to go downstairs. What does this mean?

Analysis: Receiving a letter reveals the wish for communication. Yours is a mixed message, however, because the wish is conflicted: On some level, the utmost level, you do not want to know. This is why the upstairs — the unconscious mind — is messy. Repressed material needs to be worked through. This is also why the basement — what is beneath the surface — is off limits. In this scenario, you are the homeowner with some emotional clearing and cleaning to do.
