Baptism

Christening, Being baptized, Godparent

Water, a blessing and a name spoken aloud: in many Christian families a baptism marks a fresh beginning. In a dream it often reflects a wish to wash away the past and start over with a clean slate. You may be entering a phase where you feel welcomed, accepted or protected. Being a godparent in the dream can mean someone is looking to you for guidance. If you're not religious, the image may simply be about renewal and belonging.
