Dreaming of Jealousy

jealousy, possessiveness, suspicion · very negative

Jealousy in a dream rarely bodes well: rivalry, betrayal and worry.

What happens in the dream

  • Your partner seems drawn to someone else: you'll find they really are, or you'll lose their love
  • Being jealous of your spouse: the influence of enemies and narrow minds, even betrayal
  • Being jealous of the person you're seeing: you'll try to oust a rival, or a friend will steal them away
  • Jealousy over ordinary matters: many worries in everyday business

How you felt

  • Insecurity: the dream often reflects a fear of not being enough
  • Anger: a sense of unfairness in a relationship

Ask yourself

  • What makes me doubt my place in this relationship?
  • Do I need reassurance, and can I ask for it?
