The Affair Dream
In an ‘affair’ dream, you are likely dreaming; that your partner is cheating! You may conjure up all the scenarios that lead you to this conclusion, they are secretive, coming in late from work, have sudden evening/weekend events (that don’t include you), are showering when they get home, have more of an interest in the gym, guard their phone with their life and more.
In the dream, you are likely searching for proof of the affair; you may even find the evidence you have been searching for. Texts, social media conversations, receipts of dinners/gifts, and even hotel rooms. Maybe, in your dream sleep – you even imagine the interloper and see them and your partner in the throes of passion!
No doubt, even having this dream – can shake you up. Leaving you wondering if the content has any bearing on your real life and whether your dream state is trying to tell your waking life something. You can’t shake a feeling of being disappointed and devastated.
Dream Meaning
Don’t panic! Affair dreams rarely mean the obvious. It is far less likely to have anything to do with your partner and instead is more to do with how you are currently feeling!
For whatever reason, you are likely currently experiencing a period of low confidence. You are not as self-assured as usual, and this is having a knock-on effect on how attractive you feel to your partner. Your judgement may be compromised at the moment, and you are looking for external validation that your thoughts are justified.
At the moment, it may be; that in your waking life, your needs are not being met. Perhaps your work life is dominating at the moment. Or maybe you are busy looking after your children, caring for someone unwell, or even looking out for elderly parents. You are probably stretched very thin on time and energy, and even though, deep down; you know you are doing your best to juggle everything, you still feel like you are letting yourself down on some level.
Take Action
Use this dream as a wake-up call. Looking for outside people to find you attractive and somehow, improve your self-worth is not the right way to go about things. Confidence comes from within; when you improve your faith in your abilities, you will feel happier again.
Have faith in those that love you, turn to them for help, and admit out loud that you are struggling. Let them lift some of the load; whilst you work on redefining your purpose and things that bring you joy, whilst still taking into account your responsibilities. Remember that it is not up to others to make us feel happy and fulfilled, but having them be more supportive and present; whilst you get back on the right path can only help things.
