The Hidden Meanings of Your Dreams:

Someone is trying to control or influence you surreptitiously, or to take something valuable from you, like your authority, reputation, credit for something you did, or actual property. You are experiencing unwanted sexual attention or envy.

You feel victimized and vulnerable, compromised, disrespected, taken advantage of, or manipulated. You feel guilty for invading someone else’s territory or having success you don’t feel you deserve.

To see a thief stealing your belongings in a dream means that you are afraid of losing your possessions, whether sentimental, material, or work- related. For example, a work mate could have taken all the credit for your work. However, if it is you who is stealing, it could indicate jealousy toward someone. It’s possible that you’re seizing onto others’ goods or feelings.
If in the dream you find the thief in the precise moment of stealing, the item being stolen will be extremely important for a correct interpretation.
Gypsies believe that to dream of theft means you have a guilty conscience. However, if you are part of a gang of thieves, it denotes that you trust your friends.
