Jealousy
Fear that someone you love is being drawn toward another — the ache of anticipated displacement.
Jealousy in a dream is the dream's image of the ache of anticipated displacement — the fear that someone you love is being drawn toward another. Jealousy is not the same as envy; envy wants what someone else has, jealousy wants to keep what you fear is being taken. The dream brings jealousy when something in your life — a relationship with another bond appearing in it, a role under pressure from a new candidate, a friendship narrowing — is currently producing the specific dread of being demoted by the very person you rely on. Jealousy faced honestly and named to the partner is the dream affirming the chance for the real conversation. Jealousy hidden and expressed only as surveillance is the dream noting that the feeling is doing its work in private, and the trust the bond depended on is being eroded by the watching.
