What Does Dreaming of Being Cheated On Mean?
What does dreaming of being cheated on mean in traditional interpretation?
In traditional interpretation, being cheated on in a dream points far more often to shaken trust, to a promise left unkept, or to expected support that never came, than to any real infidelity. In some readings this dream is taken as a sign that a matter you know nothing about will soon come to light.
What does dreaming of being cheated on mean psychologically?
In modern psychology, the infidelity dream is almost never read as a prediction; far more often it reflects the dreamer's own fear of not being enough, distance within the relationship, or the feeling of not being truly seen. The real subject of the dream is not the partner but the dreamer's own sense of security.

Where these readings come from
Every symbol in this dictionary carries two readings side by side, and neither replaces the other. The traditional interpretation comes from the classical literature of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, where a dream is taken as a sign of what is to come and a symbol's meaning is largely fixed. The psychological view follows Jung and Freud: there a dream speaks not about the future but about the dreamer, and a symbol stands for something the person has repressed or cannot yet name. That is why the same symbol can read differently, even oppositely, under the two headings. The context section follows from the same idea: one symbol reads differently depending on who saw it and what happened in the dream.
