Dreaming of being in a preparatory stage or time of development — This represents the preparatory stage of God's work in your life, where His promise is in the process of reproducing and developing before it manifests.

Dreaming of labor pains while birthing something dark or troubling — Labor pains in dreams can represent the process of birthing something whether good or bad, indicating that not all spiritual births are positive.
