In social networks, there are often jokes about a quarrel with a lover who dreamed that her husband cheated with another woman.
Of course, a woman can be understood: in a dream, as a rule, all feelings are as intense as in reality. Moreover, the "aftertaste" from them often remains even after waking up.
On the other hand, it is not very logical to blame your partner for what happened only in your head.
After all, if this dream is a product of our psyche, then the question should probably be addressed to ourselves. So before you type in the first dream book you come across, "Betrayal of a husband in a dream" and convince yourself that the dream was prophetic, it is better to take a breath and figure out how dreams are organized and where they come from.

Why dreams are dreamed
The Austrian neurologist, the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud was the first to talk about dreams in a scientific, rational way. Previously, the idea that dreams were sent by the gods prevailed, and only Plato was very close to the psychoanalyst's theory. He believed that dreams are the fruit of the soul, which is unable to cope with its desiring part, and therefore shows a person his bad desires at night.
Freud's thought has a lot in common with Plato's. In 1900, the psychoanalyst published a work called "The Interpretation of Dreams." He also suggested that we dream what we desire. Moreover, most often these are repressed desires - those that for some reason we consider bad, or those that cannot be realized. We do not allow ourselves to think about them in a clear consciousness, so they come to us in a dream - when the unconscious part of the psyche reigns.
And why is all this necessary? According to psychoanalytic theory, dreams are necessary to protect our sleep. If they were not there, then the psyche, continuously processing all our urges and fears, would simply not allow the body to fall asleep and get the necessary rest. In addition, something that is not always possible in reality is lost in dreams, due to which mental tension becomes a little less.
Of course, this does not apply to all dreams, but only those that cause strong emotions, leave us puzzled or repeat themselves over and over again. Other dreams, as a rule, are just residual impressions after a busy day. And yet, if we pay attention to the signals of the unconscious, we will be able to quickly identify internal conflicts and begin to resolve them independently or with the help of specialists - psychologists and psychotherapists.

A dream about a husband's betrayal: what does he dream about
So, what disappointing conclusion can you come to if you dreamed of a husband's betrayal? It is unlikely that deep down you want this (although this is also possible in some cases). Most likely, it is about fear. And this is quite logical, especially if you have reasons for concern in real life. For example, if you have already caught your partner cheating or you know about his interest in other women. And even if it is in the past, the fear could be deeply embedded in your head.
What to do if there are reasons for jealousy
In this case, it is necessary to solve the issue together. To begin with, of course, honestly answer the question: is this exactly the relationship you dreamed of? Is it really possible to make them better? If you understand that this man is valuable to you, you need to talk to your heart. Express your concerns, tell him that his behavior hurts you, and ask for a compromise. A man who values your relationship will definitely listen to you. And if suddenly it is difficult for you to find a way out, although you both want it, you should think about going to a family psychotherapist.
If all your attempts at dialogue end in failure, and your partner defiantly refuses to meet, then, of course, the dream may turn out to be prophetic, but not because it is a message from the higher worlds, but because you have chosen the wrong life partner and deep down yourself you know that If you feel that you are deeply unhappy, then ending the relationship is probably the right thing to do.
What to do if there are no reasons for jealousy
It may also be that the man did not give real reasons for jealousy. However, even in everyday life, you tend to be suspicious and controlling. Then it is important to understand that the source of the problem is only your perception. So, the main steps to solve it are up to you. Although, of course, the support of the husband will not be superfluous. What can be done? It is important to determine the source of jealousy, to understand at what moment it arose, to see what internal conflict lies behind it, to experience the emotions associated with it, to try to find a solution for it, and then to determine a new tactic of behavior and learn to follow it.
At the same time, sometimes, as we found out, fear can be unconscious - this applies to those cases when everything is fine in the relationship, and in ordinary life you don't even think of being jealous of your partner. If a dream with such a plot visited you only once, then it is unlikely to be worth your attention at all. It can only be the result of a movie you saw the day before, a book you read or a story you heard, for example, from a friend. Another thing is if the dream is repeated and causes really strong emotions.
This happens, for example, if you have elements of an anxious type of attachment that you have suppressed for some reason (let's say to be "convenient" for men), or if you have already had to get burned in other relationships and not necessarily with a partner, this could happen . and in childhood with parents. In this situation, it is necessary to act in the same way as in the previous one. True, here you can face greater difficulties, because it is not so easy to work with the unconscious on your own. So it is better to turn to a psychoanalyst or psychotherapist who practices in another method.
Of course, there can be many more reasons for a dream, and they are all individual. We analyzed only the most important and common ones. In turn, you can only understand what is happening in your case by analyzing your life and your relationships. But what you should not do is turn to dream books and believe that such a dream necessarily portends trouble.
