A nursery full of babies suggests that starting a family may be high on your agenda, but it can also mean that you may be thinking about keeping a pet, or nurturing a group of people or a project.
If the nursery is badly run, this is a reflection of your anxiety about leaving your children or a sick family member under other people’s supervision.
If the nursery school in your dream is full of very young children, this suggests that your ambitions will take you far, but if the nursery is empty or deserted, your plans may be unrealistic and you should review them before proceeding further.
If you dreamed of being back at kindergarten, or some other environment strongly associated with the early years of learning, it may be that your unconscious is transporting you back to that time in order to remind you of a valuable lesion that you learned, or failed to learn, there. For example, did your kindergarten teacher encourage you to join in with the activities, and have you been aloof in waking life recently? On the other hand if you dreamed that you were playing around with your friends and driving the teacher to distraction and received a bad report as a result, could this be a pattern that is being echoed in waking life? By reminding you of the relationship between cause and effect, your unconscious may be urging you to stop using immature strategies to gain popularity or impress others, and start applying yourself instead.

If you are baptizing someone, this means you are ready to pass on your knowledge to others. There is also a possibility that you may be having religious beliefs imposed on you if you have this dream. Baptism is symbolic of many things: rebirth, regeneration and renewal and the common theme for all these is the sense of optimism surrounding them.
If you are a Christian, baptism is associated with a washing away of original sin and the start of a new life as a Christian; your dream may have been denoting your wish to be reborn or— depending on who is being baptized or christened—your desire for someone else to undergo a transformation of some kind. On the other hand, your unconscious may also be recalling a baptism you witnessed in waking life.
[1](Greenhouse, Hotbed) In a dream, a nursery represents profits, annual return or a fertile woman. Owning or attending a nursery in a dream means victory, prosperity, marriage, acquiring knowledge, training in arts, or repenting from sin and harvesting the fruits of one’s repentance.
If the fruits of one’s plants turn into gold or silver in one’s dream, it means either benefits, profits, or that a disease will impair the growth of one’s plants, or it could mean unsalability of one’s crop.
[2]To dream of a nursery symbolizes how well you are taking care of yourself.
If the nursery is empty or cluttered, you don’t “baby yourself” and look after your own feelings well enough. Be nicer to you! If the nursery is warm and cozy, or otherwise a positive environment, you are doing a good job tending to your own emotional needs. Also see “Baby”.
[3]Roaming through a plant nursery may mention a period of personal growth. It may caution you to select only the best experiences for your growth, which will develop into beautiful expressions you may want to present to the world.
[4]1. Fruitfulness, progeny.
2. An environment conducive to growth, cultivation—often of ideas, likely emotional.
[5]As with Babies, it is not considered a good omen to dream that you are in a Nursery.
[6]A brand new part of yourself has been born and now needs love and nurturing.
