What Does It Mean to Dream About Crime?

Dreaming about violence can be a sign that you are stressed, anxious or guilty. Your dreams may also predict the consequences of your past actions will soon catch up with you because karma is coming back to get you.

If you are violating the law in your dream, it is likely because of something recently that happened to you. There may be some guilt on your part for what occurred, and when this happens in a dream scenario, it means one thing: You want control over the situation, which feels out of reach right now. Or there could just as well be fear involved—of punishment or retribution from those who were impacted by such actions (Krakow-Smith & Bohni, 2001).

You may have experienced any of the following:

• Witnessed a crime
• Committed a crime
• Turned yourself in for criminal activity. Taken the blame for someone else’s crime. Felt scared or anxious when thinking about it afterwards…

A few good changes are coming if you have confessed to your crime. You were absolved of the past upon confessing and undid any crimes by returning stolen items or contemplating but deciding against committing them, for example. If anyone committed a criminal act towards you, though was punished correctly, that is also pretty great! Or somebody forgiving an old crime means things might be on their way up as well.

Have you hurt somebody’s feelings without realizing it? If so, there is a chance that someone close to you has felt personally victimized by your actions recently. It’s time for an apology and conversation about how this happened!

If you commit a crime similar to something wrong or mean you have done before, your guilt and the consequences will come back. For example: if someone didn’t leave enough money for their check at a restaurant and they dream about stealing from their waitress, they may encounter this situation again soon. They might not receive payment for services rendered or be thanked properly because of past events.

If you confess to your crime in a dream and feel absolved, forgiven or transformed, it is good. Someone will return into your life that you have not seen for a long time, or they might call/return to you. You deserve what karma deserves, which may be a good one, but a bad one would come up towards its end if punished.

We may be able to get what we want out of life if our dreams involve a car, as this means that words we speak to others can hurt them. If our dream consists of the theft of petty items, it could mean that those precious things in life are taken for granted. The bad omens found throughout other types of violent or sexual nightmares indicate negative outcomes and potential dangers ahead.

The dreams about prostitution show a suppressed sexual desire while the ones with drug use call attention to your health.

The criminals shouldn’t get away with victimizing their victims. If people do not listen to your grievances and the bad treatment keeps ongoing, that may be a sign you need to cut them out of your life for good.

In your dream, you may be overcome with feelings of power and aggressiveness. You might experience fear over judgment about the character you present to others too! This fantasy might also stem from anxiety that stems from difficult times or tragedy in life as well as stress at work which plays on self-confidence or estimation of abilities.

During a dream of crime, you may experience feelings such as fear and outrage, judgment and stress, a sense of control or loss thereof. You might feel victimized, powerless to stop the perpetrator’s actions, aggravated by circumstances beyond your control…
