It is possible that the hormones of pregnancy are accentuating your dream life. Physical changes in your body may contribute to vivid dreaming. What is more true, is that your pregnancy and upcoming motherhood represents a huge life transition, and dreaming is nature's way of expressing anxieties, and working through emotional changes.
Take advantage of your dreaming by interpreting the theme your dream brings up at each time. For example, if you are dreaming about motherhood, what is the main feeling? Is it one of satisfaction, fears, of inadequacy to care for your baby? Do you dream of an easy childbirth, or being unable to give birth? Are you dreaming about earlier family relationships, with your mother, your father? Or are you dreaming about your husband, and how parenthood may affect your relationship? Or how your career or freedom will be affected by having a baby?
These are a few of the common themes found in pregnant women's dreams. Paying attention to your dreams brings up opportunity to talk about concerns you may have, with your partner, a friend or even a health professional. Your dreams may even offer insight or seek to answer needs at this time. For example, some women who have been vegetarians dream of about eating meat! Or a mother-to-be, worried about her unborn child's health, dreams that her baby reassures her that all is "okay" on the inside of the womb.
Whether you dream about talking to your mother, eating a different diet or giving birth, rest assured that your dreams are meant to help you adjust to the changes, both physically and emotionally that pregnancy brings. Use your dreams to help you prepare for childbirth and parenthood by writing them down and identifying the emotional themes that are present. Reading a book on the subject, such as Patricia Maybruck's "Pregnancy and Dreams" may also prove useful.
Do not be alarmed that your dreams are more often unpleasant than pleasing! In fact, over 80 percent of dreams are found to be expressions of our anxieties. This is the nature of dreams ... to bring to light our fears and to help steer us towards thinking and actions in our waking life that help us resolve our anxieties about life's changes or dilemmas.

Yes, I keep having alot of wierd and vivid dreams. I keep having this repeating theme in my dreams that I'm smoking! I quit smoking over 6 years ago but in my dreams I just have one or two and keep telling people that it's okay since they're "Ultra Lights" and they won't hurt the baby. These dreams are really bothering me because I really strive to do the best I can to take care of myself and my baby. I think all these dreams are just due to the hormones though. I've tried getting up slowly and laying in bed a few minutes after the alarm goes off to get back into reality and shake the dream fuzzyness. I give myself time to go from that sleep state to the fully awake state. That way I know the dreams...were just dreams and not real.

I also am experiencing very vivid dreams and some have been very scary that shook me up for a few days after. I never dream unless I am pregnant, so I kind of enjoy the good vivid dreams.

YES! That's how I knew to take a pregnancy test! My dreams are very vivid every night and they always involve my baby. I am 7 weeks today. I have read that you remember your dreams more because you are waking up at night to go to the bathroom. (At least i am)

Yes, I keep dreaming that I am giving birth and a baby comes out. They say "Congratulations, it's a girl!", but then another baby comes out. I always ask, "Well, what is it?" and then the dream ends.
I've been having this dream frequently since I found out I was pregnant.
Some people tell me it's because I want a girl, but I don't, I want a boy.

Yes! i am 4months pregnant and since very early in my pregnancy i have been having lots of strange dreams, some are so terrifying because they are so realistic, i have read in books and on pregnancy websites this is very common, probably due to your mind being full of worries and concerns.

And in case you're no longer gay then that is purely a dream and there is no subject right here! sturdy success xxx

Maybe it's related to female horomones. I've never been pregnant but near my period I get really vivid dreams, too.
