Eggs Dream Meaning

Dreaming about eggs can mean many different things – often times how this dream symbol appears can give us a better idea of what it means to dream about an egg.

What is the Meaning of Eggs in Dreams?

Eggs can manifest in many different ways in our dreams. Eggs are a very common food, and we eat them for everything from breakfast to using eggs as an ingredient in many of our favorite recipes for cakes and cookies.

Many animals, ranging from birds to snakes lay eggs. As you can imagine, it is a very different meaning to see a nest of blue robin eggs in the spring than seeing a plate of scrambled eggs for breakfast!

Rebirth & Renewal

In our dreams, eggs are often a symbol for rebirth and renewal. Seeing a nest of eggs could be a sign of your feelings towards starting a new project or beginning something new in your life.

Eggs are also very natural – especially if you consider almost all living animals and humans begin as a tiny egg in some way. It can be a sign of a desire to feel whole and tap into our connection with the universe.

Eggs can also be a symbol of fertility. If you are trying to get pregnant for example, you may have recurring dreams of eggs as a sign of your own feelings towards wanting to have children.

Broken Eggs in Dreams

Occasionally, we will see eggs as being broken in our dreams. There is an expression, “Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket”, and occasionally, dreaming of broken eggs can mean that you are relying too much on one thing. You may need to explore alternates or having a backup plan in your endeavors.
