Obviously, waking up after dreaming of such an event cannot fail to leave us troubled, perplexed and even prey to feelings of guilt.

When it comes to betrayal, the most recurring dream is one in which one is betraying one's partner. To understand its true meaning, however, it is necessary to rethink what feelings you felt while living the dream image in your sleep. If while you were cheating on your partner you were prey to guilt and remorse, it means that you are not one very bad partner and that you must not be alarmed. In fact, very often the act of betrayal expresses a repressed sexual need. Always remaining in the field of physical relationships, it could also indicate a great passion you feel towards your him and that you would like to deepen by exploring your sexuality together.
Furthermore, there are those who understand betrayal of a loved one as the dream representation of a promise not kept. Such a promise may have been made to anyone, not necessarily to your partner. Not keeping your word is similar to a betrayal and can only have negative effects on your mood because you know you are not "right" with yourself. You can try to rethink if in the last period you have not completed a commitment made and try to recover.
Dreaming of betraying your partner without remorse
A completely different scenario is what the dreamer sees while cheating but does not feel any sense of guilt. The first interpretation of this dream is that of dissatisfaction. Maybe you have been dissatisfied with your relationship for some time, not only from a sexual point of view, and you do not vent this frustration. These negative feelings end up accumulating at the level of the unconscious for then being able to free oneself only in the dream world. In this case, dreaming of cheating on your partner does not mean that you necessarily want to make this gesture, but that you need fun and new emotions that your relationship is no longer able to give you.
In addition to this, in some cases the absence of remorse can be interpreted as regret for the sexual freedom "lost" once a life as a couple has begun. Having a relationship with someone requires first of all fidelity and, in theory, this appearance shouldn't be a burden, quite the opposite.When it starts to be the other way around, it's time to seriously analyze your relationship to see if it still makes you happy or not.

Dreaming of cheating before marriage
It happens very often to dream of betraying your future husband a few weeks or days before the wedding. First of all, don't panic! As we have said, it is a dream that occurs very frequently to girls who are about to take the big step. It does not mean that you are about to marry the wrong boy or man, but it is the dream manifestation of all that accumulation of anxiety and fear that one feels before the wedding. Furthermore, it could also represent the renewal of sexual desire that you normally feel towards your partner.

After you have dreamed of a betrayal and if you want to find out the correct interpretation, you have to rethink the whole dream scene. In particular, to whom there was in it, that is to say with whom his partner betrayed himself. Depending on the person who appeared to us, the meaning of the dream can change slightly.
- With the ex: in dreams, in general, seeing the ex represents something unresolved in the previous relationship. In this case, dreaming of betraying the current partner with this person indicates a comparison of today's relationship with that of the past and the possibility of a latent desire that has not yet vanished. In fact, the ex becomes a symbol of carnal love and transgression with respect to everyday life as a couple.
- With a famous person: a bit "like the" ex, even the appearance of a singer or an actor in the dream as an "accomplice" of the betrayal manifests a repressed desire to transgress from the normal relationship. In addition, it can also highlight the desire for adventure and to discover a world far from that of routine made of fame and success.

- With a friend or acquaintance: It does not necessarily mean that you have actually thought about cheating on your partner with this person. Maybe for some time you have noticed a certain intellectual affinity with a colleague or an acquaintance and all this has led you to see him in a dream in ... unpublished clothes.
- With a stranger: in the case of the stranger, it is necessary to review the general interpretations of this type of dreams, especially retracing whether or not they felt guilt.
- With the boss: perhaps the dream may seem more "banal and obvious", but if you have dreamed of cheating on your partner with your boss, you don't have to look only at the sexual act. In fact, this dream image indicates your desire to be more decisive, authoritarian and perhaps the unexpressed desire to grow and mature by being close to important people.
- With your partner: it might seem strange, but in several cases you dream of making a betrayal with the same person with whom you are together. It means that you somehow perceive your boyfriend or boyfriend as different from who he is or that you would like him to be different in some respects.

Dreaming of being betrayed
The situation changes significantly when the dreamer is no longer guilty of committing a betrayal, but becomes its victim. Dreaming of being betrayed indicates the aspects of one's interiority with which one has not yet come to terms with and which therefore manifest themselves openly during sleep.
First of all, this dream represents a strong insecurity and the fear of being abandoned by the person you love. Perhaps you are struggling with a complicated moment in your relationship, you have several quarrels with your partner or maybe you have noticed in the last period that he is more detached and less present. To date you have not yet clarified the situation and you do not know whether to be able to talk or less of a couple crisis because you are too afraid to put an end to that love relationship. The whole story thus leads to a dream where your greatest fear is shown to you.
Then, when you dream of being betrayed, a sense of inadequacy and a lack of self-esteem on the part of the dreamer is highlighted. Especially if you know the person with whom the partner is "cheating" it means that you perceive him better than you or that you envy him in something in particular.
Finally, a past trauma can be expressed in this way. You have been betrayed and still have not been able to overcome this fact that has shattered love, loyalty and fidelity.
