Detailed dream interpretations

In a dream, envy is a reflection of your feelings of inadequacy. The other person you're envious of is usually not a real problem in your waking life. You have a sense that you don't have enough to offer in a relationship or scenario. When you have jealousy concerns in your dreams, it's usually a sign that you need to be more forceful and in control in a relationship or scenario to explain your role and importance in the situation.

If you are the one who is jealous of your dream, you should think about your activities as well. When you're jealous, you may be feeling guilty about favouring someone else and realize that you're the one who isn't being fair.

Then there are the occasions when jealousy in a dream is a manifestation of your fear or inadequacy. Of course, sometimes, when you dream, your mind is simply working out issues arising in your life. Perhaps you were accused of being too clingy, or your partner was nice to someone else, causing your jealous feelings to flare up, but keep in mind that emotions are often exaggerated in the dream state. You want to make sure that if you confront the person causing your jealous feelings to flare up, you do so with caution. Take your feelings into consideration, but take your actions with a grain of salt.

What does it mean when you dream about jealousy?

Inducing envy in a dream is a sign of being overly demanding, but it can also result from your fear. If you think you're rational and the other person's jealousy in your dream is unjustified, examine your feelings and mirror them back to yourself. Examine where you haven't been sincere or who you may have lately exploited.
