I had this really intense dream where I had moved to my partner’s area of the country. In real life, it’s pretty remote, but there’s still healthcare available. Anyway, in the dream, I ended up pregnant, and the baby was breech. Since there weren’t enough doctors around in the dream, my 7-year-old had to take over all the healthcare needs, which was honestly so scary. I felt completely helpless and nervous.
A little bit of background: In real life, we’re actually moving to my partner’s area for better job opportunities and a little more money. But I’ve been feeling anxious about moving away from my family and support network, especially for my 7-year-old. I’m worried about adjusting to a new place and not having that same level of support nearby.
Your dream seems deeply connected to the real-life anxiety you’re feeling about moving to a more remote area, where your usual support system might not be as accessible. The breech baby in your dream may symbolize the feeling of things being “out of order” or not going as smoothly as you had hoped, especially since it’s such an important life event. The fact that your 7-year-old takes over healthcare in the dream could represent a fear of having to rely on yourself or your child in situations where you might feel unprepared or unsupported. This might mirror your anxieties about the transition and the responsibilities you’re taking on by moving away from family.
The dream is probably a reflection of the emotional strain you’re experiencing, especially regarding your concerns about your child’s adjustment to the move and the absence of familiar support. It might also highlight a feeling of vulnerability during the transition, where you have to adapt to new surroundings and circumstances without the usual safety net.
