Dream Symbols - Breasts

If you confided to Sigmund Freud that you had dreamed about breasts, he would be likely to suggest that you have an unhealthy attachment to your mother. If your mother's personality includes a controlling nature, Freud would be correct and may further suggest that your own independence and full potential are being squelched. If this is truly the case, it's not likely that you can address the issue directly with your mother. You may want to enlist the support of a professional.

In dreams, breasts may symbolize sexual desire or a wish to be loved. Breasts also symbolize sustenance, growth and the nurturing qualities of a mother. Large, full breasts or breasts heavy with milk can symbolize generosity, wealth and abundance. They may also represent nurturing a new idea or the creative or spiritual parts of the self.

What activity were the breasts in your dream involved in? If the event was of a sexual nature, it may be time to get a sitter and take your partner out on a date. If you're single, treat yourself to a new outfit and a night out with your friends.

If the atmosphere was one of comfort, perhaps you need to spend time with friends or loved ones - possibly even with your mother if you have a good relationship. If you were breastfeeding or breasts were being caressed, there may be a need to surrender to your emotions. Perhaps you need to devote more time to the creative activities that nurture your soul.

Folklore says that if a woman dreams of having beautiful breasts she will become rich but if she dreams of sagging, old breasts, she will be disappointed in love.
