Vivid, believable dreams in which the kindest dreams come true can remain in memory for a long time. But often for much longer we remember dreams that make us worry and even panic. For example, those in which treason was committed. But what do dreams mean, which, at first glance, have nothing to do with reality, and whether it is worth worrying?

What statistics say

If you wake up at night in a cold sweat with thoughts about whether everything is in order with your relationship, know: you are not alone in this matter.

Watching such events in a dream is not uncommon. According to a study conducted by Leesаleep, it turned out that 57% of women and 45% of men see dreams in which they cheat on their partner. A similar survey by Amerisleep showed that scenes of a sexual nature appear equally often in the dreams of men and women.

Is it worth it to panic

And although studies conducted by Amerisleep have revealed that about 1 out of 4 women (and slightly more men) associate dreams of adultery with feelings for another person, everything is not so clear. Not always dreams where you are deceiving your partner (or vice versa) signal that you want to cheat, or that this event has already happened. And even the most realistic, most depressing dreams of cheating rarely indicate that your partner has a secret relationship with someone.

What psychologists say

However, it is still worth considering. It is possible that a person who dreams of such things, feels tension in the relationship or does not receive enough attention from his chosen one. Perhaps the fault is the constant employment of a partner at work or his hobbies, requiring too much time.

The fact is that the subconscious mind can regard the problem of lack of attention as something more destructive. That is why a person who is in dire need of care from a partner can see such unpleasant dreams. In addition to infidelity, people suffering from a lack of attention may dream quarrels, reproaches, resentment.

Often a “deceived” person wakes up crying, because such dreams are usually too believable and vivid. Especially strongly these dreams hurt those who have already faced treason in the past. This begs the question: what to do?

Solution to the problem

First of all, in order to correct the situation (regardless of who cheats on whom in a dream), partners must understand: it is not necessary to break off relations. If you go to bed feeling love, and in the morning you wake up offended and cannot forget what you dreamed about, this is not a reason to doubt a loved one.

Such dreams are often seen even by those who have not the slightest reason to worry and hesitate. Perhaps you and your partner just need to try to be together more often or take more care for each other.

It is very important to pay attention to the feelings that you experience after sleeping with undesirable events..

Think about what you feel in the morning – guilt, agitation, fear. This will help you better understand the root of the problem and understand what is worth working on. Uncertainty in relationships, fear of giving in to temptation, difficulties of an emotional nature – all this can be a source of experiences hidden deep inside. Another option – you are attracted to someone, and your subconscious mind is just trying to realize mental images through sleep.

If dreams of betrayal still haunt, try to calmly talk with your partner. The dream of cheating does not signal that the relationship has come to an end, and your loved one will most likely reassure you and assure you that there is nothing to worry about.
