Dreaming about a partner cheating

A distressing but very common dream, especially in happy relationships.

Common interpretations

Most readers link it to insecurity or fear of losing someone, not to real events.
It can also reflect feeling left out when a partner is busy with work or other people.
Talking about the worry, not the dream, often helps.

Questions to ask yourself

Have you felt less connected lately?
Is something other than a person taking a lot of your partner’s time?
