What does it mean to dream about being pregnant?
Pregnancy dreams are common whether or not a pregnancy is on your mind. Miller's 1901 entry is quoted below as he wrote it; its assumptions belong to its time.
What Miller wrote (1901)
For a woman to dream that she is pregnant, denotes she will be unhappy with her husband, and her children will be unattractive. … If a woman is really pregnant and has this dream, it prognosticates a safe delivery and swift recovery of strength.

Your dream is not a dictionary entry
A dream about being pregnant comes with a place, other people and a feeling, and the old books read the same image very differently depending on those details. Dreamlore takes your whole dream, spoken or typed, finds the passages that fit it in Miller and Freud, quotes them word for word, and leaves you one question to reflect on. The journal stays on your phone.

Questions
What does it mean to dream about being pregnant?
Miller's 1901 dictionary reads a pregnancy dream as unhappiness for a woman who is not pregnant, and as a safe delivery for one who is. His entry reflects the attitudes of 1901. Dreamlore offers it as historical material for reflection, not as a statement about you or a pregnancy.
Where do these quotes come from?
They are quoted verbatim from public-domain books: Gustavus Hindman Miller's Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted (1901). Each quote on this page is checked word for word against the source text before the page is served, the same check the Dreamlore app runs on every quote it shows.

Dreamlore and these pages are for reflection and curiosity. The books quoted here are old — Miller wrote in 1901 and his entries read as omens, and many of Freud's ideas are disputed today. Take them as a starting point for thinking about your own dream, not as prediction or advice.
