An interpretation of burglary dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A burglary in a dream suggests that something of value is, or could be taken from you. It might be something material, but it’s more likely to be a physical representation of losing something else: energy, time, respect, motivation. It feels like a crime to lose them. The first question to ask is, what are you taking from yourself? You rob yourself by failing to live up to your own expectations, or by breaking commitments or promises—including commitments and promises to yourself. When you are helpless to prevent some sort of personal loss, a burglary or burglar is a great way to represent it. For example, the romantic rival who swoops in and starts dating the person you are interested in is a sort of burglar. The real loss though is in your self-respect or confidence. Burglars are stealthy and often target homes, key reasons why a dream might use a burglar over some other sort of criminal. The dream deliberately chooses a burglar for that role in the dream-story. The next question is, why? Working backward can lead to the meaning. A burglary is a violation of your personal space, so in a dream a burglary can symbolize violation of your space or your person. Something’s out of place or missing. Privacy is compromised. A burglary can symbolize something done behind your back, a betrayal. A man dreams about being on the second floor of his house, watching burglars come in through his back door and go out with valuable items. It’s a recurring dream theme that always ends with his feeling powerless to stop the burglars. The burglars represent the stealthy demands on his time and energy, the things that always seem to pop up when and where he least expects it. And coming in and out through the back door symbolizes the back-door ways the man leaves himself open to more demands. He feels powerless to stop it. The dream uses burglars instead of a single burglar because he has multiple demands, not just one. See also: Accomplices, Bandits, Crime, Escaping, Hiding, Home, Intruders, Invading, Masks, Thieves
