The Language of Dreams

(see Baby, Birth, Miscarriage)

For a woman nearing the end of a pregnancy, or her partner, this is a situational dream that needs no further interpretation.

Figuratively laboring over a project or relationship in the hopes of bringing it to fruition.

If a breach birth, ask yourself if you might not be approaching things from the wrong direction, making the obtainment of your goal all the harder.

Induced labor represents feeling like you’re being forced into starting something too soon, for which you may not be totally prepared.

The Complete Dream Book

by Gillian Holloway
To dream that a woman is in labor, and that she brings forth a child that is dead, or else none at all, though she has suffered much pain and anguish in her labor, shows that the party so dreaming shall labor much for thai which they shall never bring to pass. But though her labor be hard, if the dream is to the effect that she brings forth a living child, it shows that the party so dreaming shall effect their business, though not without great toil and trouble.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Hard work, Toil) Hard labor in a dream means comfort in wakefulness.

If a businessman or a rich person sees himself working as a laborer in a dream it represents conceit and a sham, or that he is deceiving people to control their money, or defrauding them of their assets.

If one sees himself laboring in a dream, it means thriftiness, discretion, or virtuous along with satisfaction and ease in one’s life. Laboring in a dream also means a misfortune or one’s peril.
