Dreamt about being pregnant and fair rides
Last night I dreamt about fair ground rides, specifically a drop tower and that same drop tower kept failing and it fell and slammed into crowds of people. Twice. Even after I woke up and went back to sleep. Then today I dreamt that I was pregnant. Mind you, I’m still in high school and never done anything. I was going to keep it but I told my sister to help me abort it since I was still doing school and wanted to go to college. I was very sad in the dream, like sobbing while showering before my appointment and kept asking if it would hurt while my sister comforted me. My mom wasn’t there but I knew she’d be angry since she’s against abortion. This got any meaning or is it just a weird dream?

Summary of Issue
Your dreams reflect feelings of instability and overwhelming change in your life. The fairground ride and its failures symbolize experiences that feel out of your control and emotionally turbulent. The pregnancy dream brings up complex emotions about new beginnings, responsibility, and the pressure of making difficult choices. These dreams may not predict real-life events but reveal your mind working through stress, uncertainty, and conflicting goals. The opportunity here is to recognize these underlying feelings and find ways to feel safer and more in control.
Problem Description
You dreamed of a chaotic amusement park ride, crashing into crowds, repeating despite attempts to escape. Next, you dreamt of an unexpected pregnancy—one you didn’t want, leading to sadness over making a hard decision. Key elements included fear about consequences, feeling unsupported by important people, and comfort from a close sibling. Both dreams left you uneasy and emotionally drained.
Psychological Analysis
Recent research suggests dreams like these often represent inner pressures rather than literal events. The drop tower is a symbol for sudden loss of control or unexpected “crashes”—perhaps echoes of school stress, family expectations, or social anxieties. Its repeated failure shows persistent worries, even when you try to resolve or manage them.
Pregnancy in dreams is a classic symbol for new possibilities or major changes, not necessarily connected to actual pregnancy. It can relate to growing responsibilities, academic choices, or fears about maturity. The emotional weight of your decision in the dream reflects how deeply you care about your future and balancing obligations. Comfort from a sibling suggests a desire for connection and understanding, especially when facing tough decisions.
Diagnostic Summary
Your dreams highlight a pattern of feeling overwhelmed by responsibility and change, along with anxiety about making decisions that affect your future and relationships. This can happen when you feel torn between wanting independence and fearing judgment or loss of support—from family, school, or peers.
Problem–Solution Blueprint
Maladaptive pattern: Feeling out of control and burdened by choices, leading to distress and self-doubt.
Intervention Path 1 (Emotion regulation): Practice techniques that help you recognize and manage emotional overload—like deep breathing, journaling, or talking to someone you trust (similar to how your dream sibling helped you).
Example: When feeling overwhelmed by school or decisions, take ten minutes to write out your worries and then pick just one thing you can tackle, instead of trying to solve everything at once.
Intervention Path 2 (Assertive communication): Build up confidence in expressing fears and needs, especially with supportive figures. This helps you feel less alone when facing tough times.
Example: If you’re worried about grades or expectations, share these anxieties openly with a friend or counselor to relieve pressure, just as your dream self leaned on a sibling.
Recommendations & Therapeutic Strategies
– Break down big problems into smaller, manageable steps.
– Reach out to supportive people for help or comfort.
– Use calming routines before bed to reduce stress and improve sleep.
– Self-reflect regularly on what changes or choices matter most—and why.
Progress Indicators
– You notice you’re less anxious and your sleep improves.
– You start asking for help or sharing worries with others instead of keeping them inside.

Remember, dreams often help you process complex feelings. These kinds of dreams mean you care deeply about your future and are learning to balance big decisions and emotional ups and downs. You’re not alone—many people experience similar dreams during times of change.
