Decision not to get an abortion

[karmalove]

I dreamt that 2 friends and myself went together to an abortion clinic to get abortions. A woman was there who counseled us on our choices. I asked her if anyone ever changed their mind at the last minute. She said it happens a lot. My two friends went first and each had an abortion. When it was my turn, I changed my mind at the last minute and couldn't go through with it. I felt I let my 2 friends down because we had all come together to the clinic in support of each other. But I decided to keep my baby. I went with my friends into the recovery room. The room was filled with women recovering from their abortions along with their family members. I felt ashamed being there so I left.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hi,
Usually pregnancy means some money as big as the belly was big,
but here is not pregnancy but is to kill fetuses.
In the holy books it is said: Not to kill your babies fearing livelihoods, so it is interpreted as receiving some money for the ones who killed thier babies and for you some rewards.
Good luck.

Pregnancy can mean new ideas, new directions. Your friends had abortions, but you didn't. Perhaps you had a great idea, or were pursuing a new direction, and people were couselling you to give it up, but you didn't.

It may have nothing to do with actual babies, it could just symbolize something, like an idea, that was growing inside you and you decided to go with it.

Perhaps you may not have the support of your family, but your mind is made up, although there may be consequences.

An interesting 'Rites of Passage' dream which may not have any connection to abortions but, more apropos, to virginity. It sounds as if you were planning with your friends a manoeuvre to have your first affairs. You were aware of the counselling that had been given probably in your sex education classes (I am reading the dreamscape as is written so I am not aware of your age). While the other two committed themselves you decided at the final hurdle that there were other values to life so opted out of the act. There was possibly social talk or gossip among your contemporaries with, undoubtedly, some boasting about their conquests when you then felt you had let your friends, or the side, down, so you left the company and may feel socially isolated and, as the lyrics of the song goes, "Baby it's cold outside"! Should this be anywhere close to what occurred, then take strength, as you are a leader or trend-setter and while you enjoy social company your are not prepared to follow the Pied Piper like the children of Hamelin Town did. Congratulations.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies. I see a bit of truth in them all.
