I dreamed that I was pregnant. What does it mean?
Seeing yourself pregnant in a dream is most often interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as a hope growing inside you, increasing provision, or the ripening of work you have put effort into. Whether the dreamer is a woman or a man, married or single, changes the meaning.
The symbols in your dream
A married woman seeing herself pregnant: Interpreted as good news, blessing and joy in the family.
A single person seeing it: The growth of a plan they carry or a wish in their heart; in some interpretations, the possibility of a blessed marriage.
A man seeing himself pregnant: A burden or responsibility he has taken on; in some interpretations, increasing wealth.

Seeing another woman pregnant in a dream: It is a good dream; it points to increase and blessing.
A fish jumping into your lap in a dream: Points to pregnancy and having a child.

In short
A pregnancy dream is usually about things that ripen over time: work, a dream, a relationship or a blessing that will grow. The dream reminds you that your effort will not be wasted and that what you are patiently waiting for will come at its proper time. If you are actually pregnant, this dream is often a reflection of your thoughts during the day.
