Dream meaning Dreaming of a baby girl

A baby girl in a dream is glad tidings, relief and provision; the classical books say that a girl born in a dream is ease after hardship and a door of good opening in the world. A beautiful, calm baby girl is a season of blessing, a provision that arrives gently, or a matter that begins well; holding her is keeping a blessing close.

A baby girl who smiles or laughs is joy entering the house; one who cries is a tender matter needing attention, and soothing her is setting it right. Dressing or feeding a baby girl is caring for a blessing so that it grows, and the Prophet said that whoever raises two daughters until they come of age will come on the Day of Resurrection beside him, so a dream of tending girls is a door of reward.

Finding a baby girl is provision from an unexpected place. When Mary was born, her mother dedicated her to God, and whenever Zechariah entered her sanctuary he found provision with her, and she said, "It is from God." A baby girl in a mosque or a holy place is provision that comes from God without reckoning.

A sickly or neglected baby girl is a blessing or a trust being neglected, and the dream asks for it to be tended now. A dream of a girl is not a forecast of a daughter, nor of any pregnancy, and the many baby dreams of those who are expecting carry no ill omen. A baby girl given a name is read by the meaning of that name.
