Adultery

Dreams in which you or your partner have an affair with someone else may reflect your feelings about adultery and betrayal but may also suggest that you are feeling insecure or lonely in your current relationship. Perhaps you suspect that your partner is cheating on you in real life; your unconscious may be showing you the worst-case scenario in an attempt to prepare you for the possibility of betrayal. Alternatively, if you are the one having an affair, this may simply be a way of once again experiencing the intoxicating high of falling in love, and sharing passion and sexual pleasure. Your dreaming mind may be highlighting your need for more intimacy and togetherness in your current relationship. Your feelings in the dream will give you an important clue.

If you feel exhilarated, this suggests that you need to spice up your sex life with your partner, but if you felt guilty it may be warning you of the consequences of having an affair in waking life. You should also ask yourself if you have been faithful to your partner in thought and deed, as unkind thoughts and words might be seen as betrayals by other names. Another interpretation suggests that such dreams indicate that you are being unfaithful, not to another person, but to an idea or principle in waking life; perhaps you have stolen someone else’s idea?

Bigamy dreams in which you or your partner have more than one lover can suggest a desire for more variety in your sex life but they can also suggest that you are trying to cope with too many ideas and activities at once. Wife- swapping dreams in which married couples swap partners for sexual gratification may reflect a longing for another partner or a desire to spice up your sex life.
