I had a dream where I was in my house alone and when I looked in the backyard, I saw a woman holding her baby boy. She had dark hair and was wearing a long white dress. I couldn't see her face, but I would just see her walk around the backyard then the front yard, then back to the backyard. Does this mean anything?
Some will say dreams have profound meanings or are a way for your subconscious to try to communication something to you. Others will say they are simply an extension, in some way, of thoughts you had during your walking hours. And others will say they are just random synapses firing off in your brain and really nothing more.
Personally, I think you should be cautious about seeking a specific meaning for your dreams. For example, if you look at a few different dream dictionaries, chances are you're going to get conflicting interpretations of symbols. In the end, you might just find yourself more confused than ever.
Please also note that studies show that some dreams can actually be caused by the foods you eat at night before bed. And I'm pretty sure you've probably seen the commercials for different medications saying that unusual dreams can be a side effect of their usage.

The child requires more than just the basics covered, but the gently teaching traing and love a mother gives. Perhaps there is something in your life you've thought of pursuing, and nows the time to nurture those yearnings and go for it. It may simply mean that one of the things that describe your personality is that you are a nurturing person and that can come out in ways other than motherhood, taking care of pet, gardening for examples. If you had seen babies in a dream but without a mother, I'd say it meant more the birth or start of something new in your life. In your case, that something, may have already begun, and this is a sign to keep giving your attention to it to help it grow, whether its a new relationship or a school project you need to work on teamed up with someone, or taking a favorite pastime and turning it into your own business to bring in income. You know yourself better than any of us could guess. So you really may have a better idea as to what it refers to in your life. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]

"To see a baby in your dream signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. If you dream that the baby is smiling at you, then it suggests that you are experiencing pure joy. You do not ask for much to make you happy. If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; you do not want to let others know of your weaknesses. Alternatively, forgetting about a baby represents an aspect of yourself that you have abandoned or put aside due to life's changing circumstances. The dream may serve as a reminder that it is time for you to pick up that old interest, hobby, or project again. If you dream that you are on your way to the hospital to have a baby, then it signifies your issues of dependency and your desires to be completely care for. Perhaps you are trying to get out of some responsibility. If you are pregnant in real life, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes." (Dream Moods)
If I interpreted your dream, the baby and the lady signify some purity and some hidden potential you discovered in yourself. And the walking around the house might show that you have secured yourself, like a mother holding a baby shows care and security for the baby. You looking through the window shows security in yourself that you feel safe at home.
