Not Necessarily a Desire for Unfaithfulness…
Dreams, especially those about infidelity, are often taken at face value: dreaming about cheating might suggest a hidden desire to act on it. However, as explained by Catherine Blanc, a sexologist and psychoanalyst, “this doesn’t mean there’s a desire to cheat on one’s partner.” Such dreams actually reveal much deeper issues tied to our identity, independence, and internal frustrations.
According to Catherine Blanc, dreaming of infidelity primarily questions our relationship with ourselves, not just with our partner. “It’s about daring to discover something new,” she says, highlighting that these dreams often reflect a desire for personal exploration, without necessarily wanting to cross the line into actual cheating.
Dreams about cheating can be a way to revisit personal frustrations. “It could mean that there are frustrations,” admits the expert while emphasizing that “it mostly tells the story of wanting to be driven by a desire for oneself, beyond the expectations of others.” Therefore, this type of dream symbolizes a quest for psychological independence, asserting the right to belong to oneself and to explore different facets of one’s personality. Sometimes, it’s difficult to realize this, and our dreams speak for us. As our expert remarks, “When we dream, we explore our possibilities or our fears.” When it comes to infidelity, it could be the fear of our partner cheating on us or other fears. Dreams of infidelity are a way to project our worries, including those related to mortality.
Dreaming of being unfaithful can also express a latent desire to discover something new, to explore new dimensions of our being “without necessarily wanting to take the leap,” our expert insists. Through this dream, there might be an underlying notion of not having lived fully or sufficiently for oneself. “It’s a space where the dreamer allows themselves to see things from a different perspective,” explains Catherine Blanc. Ultimately, these dreams remind us that we need space to redefine ourselves as individuals, beyond social expectations and romantic relationships. And to indulge ourselves. Therefore, one should not feel guilty or blame oneself for having such dreams and “not take them literally.” It might simply be a reminder to take care of yourself, to generally treat yourself well.
