Theft

Dreaming of theft is complex. If you are the thief, the dream may reflect a feeling of lack, a desire for something that doesn't belong to you, or an attempt to 'steal' time, energy, or ideas from someone. It might symbolize an inner need to acquire new qualities or to take control of a situation. If you are the object of theft, this often expresses vulnerability, a fear of losing something valuable – material or emotional (trust, identity). The dream may prompt you to consider how secure and protected you feel, or to re-evaluate your values and your attitude toward possessions.
