Meaning of dreaming of robbery

Robbery is an experience that no one wants to go through. Traumatic for those who have experienced it, it is one of the greatest fears of those who live in cities. Sometimes this fear reaches the subconscious and surprises you in your dreams. But urban violence is not always to blame. In some cases, it wants to talk about deeper things.

To dream of the risk that a robbery represents leads you to question what is valuable to you. It draws attention to the threats that are surrounding your individual, professional and emotional life. It also makes you reflect on injustice, disharmony and insecurity, in the emotional and material sectors.

However, there are a variety of situations that a robbery can happen in a dream, as well as in waking life. In this article, we will point out the meaning of dreaming of robbery in different places, situations and other possibilities.

To dream of robbery in different places

The belief that no place is safe is used by the subconscious mind to project some fears that dwell in the depths of the human mind. However, each time the dream of robbery happens in a different place it wants to communicate something. Here is what each place says.

To dream of robbery in the street

To dream of a robbery on the street says that you are avoiding exposing yourself for fear of losing something of value. A feeling, a material possession, or anything else that you are attached to. The situation of loss on the street justifies this sense of self-protection.

However, something wants to convince you that you will only get what you want once you get out of your protective bubble. What tries to persuade you doesn't have to be someone, it could be a personal desire that has gained a voice in your thinking.

The prudent thing to do in this case is to focus on your current priorities and analyze what makes the most sense for you right now. Perhaps the sense of loss you're afraid of will bring more satisfying gains. Consider risking stepping outside your comfort zone to experience other flavors of life.

To dream of a robbery at home

If you dream of a burglary at home, beware, your intimacy is being violated. It is not necessarily your physical home, it may be that someone has managed to access your emotions, ideas, opinions, and feels that they are managing to take your privacy away from you. It is even possible that it is verbally consented to, but deep down inside, you feel the discomfort of a loss.

Sometimes people are driven to hand over something of personal value in order not to lose a friendship, a romance, or simply not to quarrel. However, not everything is available to everyone, and the unconscious will manifest itself through the dream to get back what is yours.

Everyone is entitled to have private secrets and treasures. As much as revealing some can mean healing, exposing others can hurt.

To dream of assault at work

When someone dreams of robbery at work is suffering the impact of a loss of opportunity, or even job.

If you dream of robbery at work remains to investigate, in you or in your context, whether what caused this loss came from you or from forces over which you have no control.

If you realise that it was a consequence of your action, cheer up. It's a sign that you have a chance to prevent it from happening again.

To dream of assault in the car

To dream of carjacking indicates that you are not feeling in control of your life. You feel that your freedom in choices has been limited, and you are at the mercy of the will of someone who is not you.

What you need to know is that you've never been in total control of your life. Obviously, at some point, you've felt free to take certain directions. But life is so much bigger than you, and you've only gotten where you are because it's allowed you to.

It is naive to aim at a destination without reckoning with the unpredictable face of life and the endless twists and turns the world takes.

To dream of robbery in different situations

The subconscious is fertile ground for the imagination, moreover, everyday life offers rich material for it to exercise its creativity. Scenes from the day, from movies, from the internet, from television and stories that others tell are used as raw material in the dream when the internal world wants to reveal something.

Notice what each of these different situations symbolizes when you dream of robbery.

To Dream That You Are Watching a Robbery

When you dream that you see a robbery you will realize that you are losing something. However, you have no sense of gravity, so you see distance in this loss.

This dream speaks mainly about the imbalance between your priorities. Sometimes, one sector has too much attention, and other sectors are left unprotected. For example, there are people who take too much care of their work and do not take care of their health, there are people who date a lot and forget their friends.

Work, health, affections, material possessions, hobbies and passions are all great in a person's life, but dividing attention between these areas is essential to achieving a more balanced life.

To dream that you are being robbed

If you dream that you are being robbed, it is because you are swallowing a feeling of frustration for being wronged in some way. A relationship, whether professional, personal or social, is taking your energy, and even the ability to reason and feel more fully.

Listen to your inner self. Keep an eye on the scales of your relationships. See if what you are receiving matches what you are giving.

To dream that you are being robbed with a knife

If you dream that you are being robbed with a knife, it is because you are aware that you are a victim of violence. It is likely that in a relationship, you are noticing a lack of harmony, and that you are the one who is giving everything to make it work.

The only thing missing is an attitude from you to stop that unequal flow. Maybe the other person doesn't even know they are your wrongdoer, and that attitude is just a good, honest conversation between adults.

To dream that an acquaintance is being robbed

To dream that an acquaintance is being robbed indicates concern for that person. You are seeing them being harmed in some way. Perhaps by another, by a situation, or even by yourself. Yet you find yourself unable to do anything about the damage.

In fact, if it's someone you've already tried to help, but couldn't because the person doesn't cooperate, there's really nothing you can do. It's up to you to respect their decision and understand that everyone has their own journey.

To dream that you are robbing someone

If you dream that you are assaulting someone, it is time to start rethinking your attitudes and what is your idea of relationship. This dream means that you are crossing the line with someone and leaving the relationship unequal and disharmonious.

Far beyond receiving more than you are giving, you have taken "by force" what you have no right over the other person. You think no one is watching? Your inner self is.

Besides, he's ratting you out to yourself, who is the only person capable of making you stop manipulating conversations and situations in his favor. Start seeing the other, after all, a healthy relationship is made of two people.

To dream that you are robbing a bank

To dream that you are robbing a bank symbolizes your insecurity about your professional life. If your job is your main source of income, you believe that you will not be able to rely on it for long.

Instability in the company, financial crisis, high competition and the distrust of those who work with you are things that accentuate your insecurity. Only a plan as big as a bank robbery could save you.

If what you're doing now elevates your fear to this level, it's time to rethink your possibilities. Here's your chance to analyze what other means could make you a more secure and satisfied person with your career.

Other interpretations of dreaming of robbery

There are also other interpretations of dreaming of robbery, which allow you to believe in a positive change. Some indicate your personal structure to deal with internal and external conflicts. See below what they are.

To dream that the burglar is being arrested

Your self-assurance to deal with difficulties is showing when you dream that the robber is being arrested. This dream indicates that no matter what happens, you are prepared to make the best of this situation.

This dream is a good omen, because it puts you in a situation of mastery in the face of adversity. It is indeed difficult to have faith when problems come. That is why your inner world comes to tell you in a dream that everything will be all right.

To dream that someone dies in a robbery

To dream that someone dies in a robbery indicates that a painful loss will be overcome. An old self that is badly hurt, financially or emotionally, is being left behind. In other words, there is nothing to fear.

Feeling the pain of brokenness, including with that part of your personality that was sacrificed, makes you a human being. Respect your processes, but have hope that better things are to come.

To dream that you did not see the robbery happen

When you dream that you didn't see the robbery happen, it's because you have no idea what's holding you back. You realize that your goals are not being achieved, and you can't see why. You even distrust people and situations, but nothing is confirmed.

It is interesting to look at your attitudes and thoughts, and try to understand what your posture is when it comes to running after what you think is best. Some things are difficult in this internal search. One of them is to understand that who may be hurting you is yourself.

To dream of armed robbery

If you dream of armed robbery, there is something inside you asking for attention to your feelings. They are the target of some violence and you believe that reacting will be worse.

If there is not in fact a gun to your head in everyday life, if there is no real risk to you and people, there is what to do. And sometimes it requires no external effort, just look at yourself. Do not forget to try to understand, if the one who is creating this threat is not you.

To dream of robbery and police

When you dream of robbery and police, you should consider two possibilities. In the first, if the police prevail, it indicates that you trust in your structure to overcome the problems. In the second, if the thief prevails, then you even believe you know what to do, you just do not have enough self-confidence to do so.

So if the thief is the "victor" in the dream, you can look for ways to "arm" yourself to feel safer. Asking for help is certainly worth it, or just believe in life and what it has for you, even in adversity. The achievement of your self-confidence may lie in overcoming what causes you the most fear.

To dream of attempted robbery

To dream of an attempted robbery points to the risks that are surrounding you. However, do not fear. The fact that this attempt does not result in actual harm means protection.

Your attitude now should be one of gratitude to life, to your guardian angel and to your spirit guides. No matter how many forces are trying to harm you, to take what is yours, you are under the protection of the good ones.

Can dreaming of robbery signal difficulties in life?

In some ways, dreaming of a robbery can signal difficulties. Whether these difficulties will be financial, depends on what you value most in life. Where is your treasure? Is it inside or outside of you? By answering these questions, you will find what you are risking losing.

This will also help you to know who the robber is. Just do not be scared when you find out who is this villain, this "scare" can prevent you from taking the right action. Get ready, because, the thief who haunts your dreams may be you.
