Is this your first child?
At five months pregnant, you are probably beginning to feel like your body isn't under your control anymore. I would guess your mind is trying to reconcile the lack of control, the subconscious feeling of being invaded by someone else and your husband's inability to do anything about it other than be there. He can be the best husband in the world, however, he is on the outside looking in. It is one of those facts of pregnancy.
You say that you have been feeling depressed and down and attributed it to the pregnancy. It seems your subconscious is trying to work through it by likening the loss of control to another point in your life when you felt you had no control.
It probably doesn't help that more than likely the child is getting active while you are asleep or trying to sleep. Babies moving around on their own schedule can cause some strange dreams.
Don't let the fear control your thoughts and feelings. It will only make it worse to add dread to the mix. Understanding the feelings behind the images can help dispel them or change them into something you can embrace.
