The room could represent your life , that you have let it get this way by the lack of action on your part . The fire can then represent the desire to change . The being pregnant could then be representing the birth of a new you . The two kids could represent the inner growth process , that you should learn to trust that can help you out of your current situation . The completely barren and white room could be the need to clear out any ideas in your head that say what you are . When you let go of what you think you are , you are left with pure potential . The nurse could then be anyone outside of yourself that does the work for you . But , when you have someone else do it for you , they do more harm than good . The desire for quick results leads to that harm . The baby itself could be that potential for growth inherent in you , that you may have forgotten about . Just like how you grew to become who you now are , that capacity is still there . That when you do take on the decision for a new you , it takes time to get there , that you shouldn ' t fault yourself for that . That you should think of yourself as a baby , and be gentle with your growth process it ' ll eventually be had .
