Did you have a weird dream last night about your partner cheating on you? Well, this dream is not rare at all.
Sometime in our life, we all had a similar dream about our partner and we will try to explain what this dream actually means, and did you forecast your future or does this have a completely different meaning.
These dreams can be very uncomfortable and they can also be directed into hurting your partner and not just feeling hurt by them.
There are many different situations that can happen in life, but we will only present the ones that are most common among people. And here are some of the those most common situations that we dream about when it comes to cheating.
Dreams about cheating on your partner with someone familiar
So, you had a pretty unusual dream where you cheated on your boyfriend or girlfriend with someone you both know or you know. Even though this might seem like a disaster and that you maybe have feelings towards that particular person, but don’t worry. This doesn’t have to be the case.
Dreaming about someone else, or someone you know, and cheating on your partner with them can perhaps mean that you have been dedicating too much attention to a certain person, perhaps he is your boss, or it means that you feel bad for neglecting your partner.
These dreams can make you feel very awkward next time you see that person in real life but don’t avoid that person by any means and just let your brain forget about that dream.
So, in conclusion this kind of dream means that you maybe feel bad for neglecting your boyfriend or girlfriend, and spending too much time with that person from your dream. Just pay attention to the way you use your time and don’t forget about your loved ones.
Dreams about cheating on your boyfriend or girlfriend with someone you don’t know
Now, these dreams can be triggered by different things. Perhaps you have just finished watching a movie with your favorite actor or actress, and you feel so overwhelmed by it that you “accidentally” dreamed about that person and cheated on your partner with them.
It doesn’t even have to be a familiar face. It can be a person you have never seen before and that you created in your own mind. When this happens it usually means that you have feelings of guilt about something and that you feel like you have been dishonest to your partner.
Dreams about cheating in general don’t have to be about wanting or liking another person. It can also mean that you feel like a cheater because of something you did or said to your partner.
Our dreams work in a way that is usually not literal meaning of something. Our feelings and emotions get caught up in our dreams and implement those moments where we felt something, remember it and save it for the time we go to sleep.
This is why something that has happened a long time ago can come up in our dreams when we completely forget about it and torment us. Then we feel like a cheater even though we can’t explain how this dream happened or what caused it to happen.
Dreams about your boyfriend or girlfriend cheating on you
These dreams are even worse than the ones where you cheat on them. You might wake up out of your dream and feel betrayed, lied to and totally miserable. But, even though this is not a nice dream to have, keep yourself together and remember that this was only a dream.
According to many studies, this dream is most common when everything in your relationship is perfect. You might be so happy with your partner that you can’t simply explain why you had this dream.
The most common explanation for this dream is that you might feel insecure about your happiness or you might feel fear that you can one day be abandoned by the person you are with. You have to remember that these are your dreams, and not reality and that whatever is going on in your mind and thoughts is affected by your thoughts and actions.
These dreams can surely be triggered by your partner’s behavior in real life. Maybe you have seen something that is suspicious to you, or maybe you have doubts about your partner’s romantic interests. This is when you need to be careful and don’t overreact, because it is for the best to open up to your partner about your feelings and dreams.
Confronting someone about something they have done in your dream is irrational and you certainly don’t want to accuse your loved one, especially if he or she hasn’t done anything wrong.
Dreams about getting caught cheating by your boyfriend or girlfriend
This dream is similar to the one where you cheat on your partner bur it is even more awkward. You might be caught in the middle of cheating and you will wake up feeling terrible. It is one to be cheating, but getting caught and seeing your partner’s face when he catches you is heartbreaking.
But, don’t worry. This doesn’t mean that you have predicted the future. It just means that you feel some sort of guilt regarding your partner. Maybe you have done something you are not proud of or you have done something you are not particularly proud of.
When this happens, just stay calm and forget about this dream like it never happened. You don’t have to make rational decisions based on your dreams because they are almost never literal. Unless you felt like something is wrong with your relationship in general, don’t overthink these dreams too much.
Dreams about being the “other person”
This is a variation of a dream about cheating but it can be useful for you to understand what dreams like this mean. We all know that being another woman or another man means that you will get half of something and never the complete thing.
So, maybe you are feeling undervalued in your romantic relationship and that you feel like you need more love and attention than you are currently getting. If this is the case in your relationship, than try to think of a way you can tell this to your partner without being too demanding.
Take all of his obligations in consideration and plan something fun for you two to do. Sometimes not being straight forward can work the best.
Dreams about cheating with multiple partners
These dreams are rare but they are not impossible. They usually mean you feel too conservative to try new things. Maybe you have seen something on TV or in movies that triggered these thoughts in you, or maybe your mind created these images.
You can also feel very torn in your real life in sense that you don’t know how to spread your energy on different sides and how to plan your time. Don’t think instantly that you want to cheat on your partner with few different people.
Try to maybe spice up your life with something new or plan your time better in the future so that you don’t repeat this dream in the future.
Dreams about cheating on your partner by swapping partners with someone else
This dream is also very unusual. Swinger dreams somehow gather all of the previous elements in one. They can mean that you need more fire in your bedroom you can also feel that you are too conservative and that you are longing for something new and experimental.
Since your partner is in the picture as well, you can’t really feel too guilty about cheating. Maybe you are thinking about your partner’s past love life and you are curious about what he has done before you.
Dreams about cheating on your friends or family members
This is now a girlfriend or boyfriend cheating dream, but it can help to understand the science behind dreams about cheating. These dreams represent betrayal you inflicted upon your loved ones in a form of maybe something you said behind their back or something you did that would hurt them, if they found out about it.
A variation of this dream is that you dreamed about your friend cheating on your or deceiving you. This means you are unsure about your friend’s intentions and relationship towards you. This is when you will need to separate your real life from your dreams to be sure about whether it was based on something real or was it just a simple dream.
Conclusion
In the end dreams are just dreams. When you have an unusual dream, keep in mind that you have to have a good understanding about your real life relationships and that you don’t overreact about your dreams when they are about cheating.
If everything is in order with your relationship, then you probably don’t have to worry about dreams like this. They can mean a lot of different things that are not always connected to your feelings towards your partner. Make sure you are using your time correctly and that you are dedicating enough attention to your partner so that he doesn’t feel neglected.
Also spice up your life a little, if your dreams are wild and exciting and your real life is not as nearly as interesting as your dreams.
These were just few explanations of dreams and dreaming about cheating in your dreams. Take them in consideration and never overreact when you have these dreams, rather talk to your partner openly or simply forget about them.
