So there is a small chance I may get pregnant, right? There's a worry for getting the morning after pill, and I feel a bit embarrassed.Also, after when I fell asleep, I had a terrible and confusing nightmare where I had a baby (a little girl named Evie), but she was deformed, having four eyes... it was a bit scary for me, I worried that she'd be outcasted, but to me she was still beautiful. It made me a little happy, but then she started showing signs of autism, not being able to show emotion well, etc. I don't know what this means. I understand that worries of pregnancy can make you dream about things, but this was just way out there. Any suggestions on what this means?

My boyfriend and I have been in a long term relationship and I have no worries of STD's :) I just think it's fairer on him to not have to use them, as he's... errr... rather big, and we've tried even Super King condoms and they're far too small, we can barely fit them on and it can cause him a bit of pain. If you have any advice on bigger condoms, I'd gladly give them a go :)
As for what the dream may have meant, Fatherly Advice really helped out. I'm not ready for a baby, at all, and I do have some difficulty showing emotion at times. I have a tendancy to shut-down emotionally if things get too much for me, and I function more or less like a robot for days at a time. I'm working on it, but I'm young, I guess.
CaringGuy, I was thinking that - that it may be because I'm worried and that's why my mind conjured up the dream, thanks :)
Not My Name... I would love to know that I'm dreaming when I'm actually dreaming. Most of it just feels so real and honest to me that I get confused when I wake up. I spend some time in college during the day thinking things like, "Did Frankie really stalk me at Alton Towers, or was it a dream?", it was a dream, obviously, but it was so vivid that I didn't know for sure. She gave me a bit of a worried look when I asked her! :P
Again, thanks guys! Will keep you updated on what happens.

 Every time I get into one of these dream posts I find something that surprises me. This one took some persistence. I had to poke around quite a bit before I hit on the right symbols. So I may not have a good fit for you. As always I suggest that you look it up yourself because there are no doubt details that you remember that I won't have access to.
Eyes symbolize yourself, so whilst you dreamed about a baby the dream was about you. A deformity in a dream indicates a part of you that is not fully developed. I wonder if the inability to express emotion was a little pointer to you. Perhaps you feel you are not emotionally mature enough for your relationships. I was thinking about the dream as a warning to yourself. Then I looked up the baby's name, and that clinched it. I modified it to Eve and came up with this. Eve represents occurrences in your life that would cause you to lose hope of future success. Being pregnant at your age would certainly do that.
Very interesting dream, Thanks for sharing. You should take the advice from your sub-conscious mind and use a condom every time. You should also take time out for yourself.

 Depo shot's can take 2-4 weeks to be fully effective so yes, you should be using some other form of birth control in the mean time. A condom that will also help protect you from STI's/STD's would be ideal even when the depo shot kicks in.
The latter part of your question really probably belongs on a dream interpretation forum or the like. On the most basic level tho, it may simply be and most likely is, a subconscious manifestation of your concerns regarding unprotected sex.
I do dream things that come true quite often (I am a bit weird lol). I am often conscious when dreaming (I know in my dreams that I am in bed dreaming and can intentionally take conrol of the dreams) and I can usually sense within a dream if it is one to be taken literally. They usually have a very vivid emotion evoked with them that is hard to explain. Sometimes they are major events, more oft just insignificant things that I later in the day watch unfold and wonder what the point is ..lol.
I was tho 100% convinced only hours after sex that I had concieved a son and had to wait for it to firstly even be confirmable, and longer still to confirm the sex. But it was not a case of I thought I might be, hoped I might be, ... I knew it like I know water is wet.
If I had a dream of a child with 4 eyes tho, I would not have given it a second of credibility. Actually your whole dream just did not play out like something I'd buy in to even without the extra eyes. It very much seemed a manifestation of subconscious concerns than a straight forward event.
So whilst I would not advise against precautionary measures if you dont wish to concieve, I really do think that dream is not a grounds on which to get yourself worked up thinking it may be some sort of premonition. There is a way to make certain tho, ...go to your doctor, get a morning after pill, and use a secondary form of protection.

Your worry that you might be pregnant made you have that dream, that's all. Perhaps you're worried, and not ready, so your mind managed to conjure up that image out of your worry. If you're worried at all, get the morning after pill. You live in Britain, and you can get it confidentially. And it's better to face that embarrassment than find yourself pregnant. And get it today, yo're running out of time for it.
