Stealing Dream Interpretation
Universal Landscape: Acquisition of resources without consideration.
Dreaming Lens: Were you stealing, or were you being stolen from? Were you a witness as opposed to a participant? Did you know the perpetrators? What was being taken? Were you present for the act, or was it something you discovered? Were you hiding facts or attempting to uncover truths?
Personal Focus: To steal is to take something that belongs to another. The objects of theft are often things of value. Therefore, the symbolic meaning implies resources or levels of abundance that are coveted and then taken without permission or regard for consequences. The opposite of stealing is being stolen from. This uses the same themes, and adds the elements of violation and loss.
Begin considering your interpretation of this symbol from the appropriate perspective, based on which side of the act or consequence of stealing appeared in your dream. Often inherent in the act of stealing is the presence of betrayal, so look for areas of your life in which this may be present. For deeper clarity, take note of the category in which the stolen property might fall. The more valuable the item or items that are stolen, the higher the emotional stakes are being expressed by the dream. Personal items might spark you to consider more intimate issues in your life, including circumstances of an emotional, private, or hidden nature. Theft in a corporate or institutional environment may be revealing underlying issues surrounding your more worldly considerations, such as politics, your workplace, or your larger community.
If you were a witness to thievery in your dream as opposed to the victim or perpetrator, a more complicated process will be called for to reach an accurate interpretation. If this is the case, use the Character Aspects of both sides of the theft to examine what elements of your personality might be compromising other areas of your thinking. When faced with unknown elements associated with this symbol appearing in a dream, incorporate your ignorance or lack of awareness into your interpretation. Stealing in a dream may be the inciting incident of an investigation that needs to commence.
