When an abortion appears in your dream, either man or woman, this may be a sign that your health is not in a very good condition and may forewarn of future disorders. The abortion as a general dream symbol may also be interpreted as your failure to evolve or grow - abortion means putting an end to a new life, therefore you are not capable of moving on from a difficult situation in your life or are simply not determined what path of life you should take. The hesitation and indecision in your waking life are mirrored in your dreams by the image of an abortion.

Abortion in dreams of women may illustrate their remorses caused by a real abortion they had to make in the past and which comes to haunt their subconscious. The feeling of guilt experienced by women who made an abortion usually leads to such dreams, but it is a good sign because this will eventually help them accept and deal with the mistake they have done.

Abortion in dreams of women may also stand for their fear that something wrong is going to happen in their waking life or that they will not succeed in accomplishing their tasks and fulfilling their goals.

The same feelings of guilt may also cause men to have dreams of abortion, say specialists in dream interpretation. It may be guilt about agreeing with an abortion in the past or feelings of guilt due to other various reasons and mistakes. In the case of men who see an abortion in their dreams this image usually forewarns bad luck and misfortune.

If a pregnant woman dreams about an abortion this may mean that she is not fully decided whether the conceiving has come at the right moment. But the same dream may mean that the woman is extremely preoccupied about her pregnancy as she wants all things to turn out fine.

Like the never-born child implied by the image of an abortion, the dream may also speak about plans or wishes of a person which failed to be fulfilled and were annihilated while still in the 'embryo'.

Abortion as dream image may also speak about your traits of character and it is popular among people who feel that they have lost their childhood and playfulness too early in life and they would like to regain the happiness of past moments once again.
