Baby boy
Having a baby boy, Newborn boy, Baby son
A baby boy in a dream often arrives with a burst of lively energy: loud cries, kicking legs and a hearty appetite. Generations ago, the birth of a son was greeted as a promise of rising fortunes and a family name that would carry on. Today many people read him as a surge of daring or ambition in themselves that is still raw and needs direction. When a real baby is on the way, or longed for, you may simply be picturing life with a son. Naming him in the dream is worth noting, because the name may lead you to a person or a hope that matters to you.
