I had a dream the other night where I was somewhere like a backstage make up room theatre sort a place and I was talking to this girl, or her me, I dont remember who started the conversation. She was trying to convince me, explain her reasonings that she was pregnant but needed to abort her baby before it grows bigger. It was not an early pregnancy where it was just found out, I believe it was a mid cycle. 2-4 months maybe. I didnt know the girl in the dream but she felt familiar. In real life noone fits her description in my social circle. She was also taller and more 'mature' looking and at the same time was around my age. Late 20's - early 30's. I clearly remember my reply to her. I was cool, trying to stay calm and not be judgemental and kept repeating that she must do what she felt was right. I distinctively remeber feeling that she was trying to convince me that this was the right choice. she had no other alternative. she was not ready. When I awoke in the morning I was not only puzzled by the dream but puzzled that she was trying to convince me.

Another note is that someone is pregnant with ideas, with her not being ready, can mean that she is not confident enough to see them to the end. She fears the struggle perhaps?

Pregnancy is also a very intimate time between couples. Could it symbolize my current relationship situation? I was thinking that maybe the woman, might represent my partner, I have no idea why he would show up as a woman lol but we go with it for the sake of theory. At the moment, our situation is less than ideal, but perhaps he runaway from the coop due to fear with dealing with the unkown nature if iam faithful to him or not, my future career prospects and or the next phase in our lives. He may indeed not be ready to continue at this juncture.

Another crazy theory may be that I fear the possibility of a new woman in his life and that she is pregnant by him.

The only matter that is clear in the dream is that the timing is not ideal for the pregnant woman and she is trying to convince herself, via me, that the course needs to be altered, changed somehow.

I have had dreams about myself being pregnant and I understood the message of those dreams, this time it is not me who is pregnant, rather another woman, who I do not know or truly recognize and maybe she felt familiar ( I cannot remember clearly if she did or not) but I do know that I did not fear her.

I have also been digging around the internet and have come across a few other clues.

1. my attitude towards the woman was controlled. I wanted to be detached and unbiased but felt deep inside that I wanted to tell her no, dont do it. Its your baby. Its wrong.

2. the woman was not hysterical or crazy, she was more deperate and felt the urgency to convince me that her feelings of wanting/needing to get rid of the baby was important. You know the feeling when you are doing something wrong, but try to convince yourself that it is the right and only way - that kind of feeling.

3. ususally when i have had pregnancy dreams, 2 in my memory, they have dealt with my relationship. Both dreams predicted his interest and detachment. Also in both dreams it was a man and a woman. I was clearly the pregnant one and my partner was clearly a man.

So I think this dream probably has more to do with you than with someone else. The "pregnancy" could be symbolic of something developing in your life (probably the relationship situation) that you are thinking about "aborting", something you do not feel ready for, and you are subconsciously trying to convince yourself that it would be the right choice to do so. Perhaps the message of the dream is to take the advice that you would give to another and "do what you feel is right."

I think you're thinking in the right direction. The other woman can still represent yourself. The unconscious mind will often project an aspect of yourself into a "separate" character, especially if the subject matter is difficult, something you do not wish to identify with, or something you do not/do not want to recognize about yourself.
