Theft - Ask anyone who has been the victim of a theft, and they will undoubtedly tell you how the victim feels: they are hurt, humiliated.
In early childhood, we learn that it is taboo to take a toy from another, even if the toy is taken from us, it hurts our feelings. However, meanness and acts of theft are common dream images. Depending on whether you are the thief or the victim, there are several interpretations offered for consideration. As a thief, you may experience a lack of resources or an unfair distribution of wealth.
For example, if you dream that you are stealing basic necessities - bread, food, things necessary to survive in the environment that exists in the dream - then you see yourself as a beggar. In real life, this can manifest in behavior that isolates you from others or leaves you feeling like you have no choice.
However, dreaming of stealing from people you know may represent your perception that they have a better life than you, even though you don't think they deserve it.
If you are acting as a victim, a possible theme is fear or loss. The list of suspects will help clarify the situation in the future.
If you have become a victim and the stolen items are important, then material loss creates anxiety.
However, if the lost items are of secondary importance and the suspect is more valuable to you than those items, then you may feel that someone you know is disregarding your rights or deceiving you. At the same time, it is also important to take into account the objects themselves and their significance to you. Their symbolism can indicate an area of life in which boundaries are violated, which will help you find a solution to the problem of restoring your positions.
