A dream of a cradle may offer a new life or a new beginning. In a clairvoyant’s dream the birthplace can stand for a possible pregnancy. In the dream of a man it can also symbolize a desire in the womb or in a protected state return. Cradle often contains a warning against too much confidence, it is lulled into security rocked, although caution and suspicion are attached.

Psychologically:

An empty cradle (depending on the other dream elements) can represent the fear of a woman in front of childlessness or motherhood. This dream suggests sometimes that any new start for us will give a very happy time in which we can really swing through any difficulties. If a baby in the cradle, then we should appreciate the security, which instantly beautifies our life.
