Personal symbolism

A stillborn infant is an emotionally weighty image, and the meaning given here centers on distressing news or an upsetting incident coming to your attention. Recall whether you were told about it, saw it directly, or encountered it in another way; that can shape how the image felt. It may connect to concern about something fragile or hoped for, but keep your reflection anchored in the dream's emphasis on becoming aware of distress. Notice what feeling stayed with you after waking.
