A spy can characterize a situation where you feel spied on or lack privacy, or it can represent the use of underhanded or furtive means. For example, a man dreams that he sees a drone flying right outside his windows with the camera on it pointed at him. He goes outside and sees a work crew doing a geographical survey. He then lectures one of the workers about spying on him. The dream sums up a situation where social workers were called to check on the welfare of a family member in his home.
