Dreaming of having an abortion might indicate self-imposed barriers to personal growth. You might hesitate to pursue a new life direction due to fear, external pressure, internal conflict, or moral obligations. This dream could also reflect a real-life abortion, serving as a way to heal from trauma and work toward self-acceptance. Alternatively, it might remind you to prioritize your health. Dreaming of someone else having an abortion might symbolize stagnation or lack of growth in your relationship with that person. If you don't know the person, the dream could reflect your personal views on abortion. Dreaming of an illegal abortion could reveal a desperate attempt to maintain the status quo. If the abortion leads to death, it suggests a misdirected approach to a problem.
