Abstract

Loyalty

Staying with a person, group, or commitment — chosen fidelity across changing weather.

Loyalty in a dream is the dream's image of chosen fidelity that persists across changing weather. Loyalty is not the same as agreement; loyal people disagree, they just do not leave. The dream brings loyalty when something in your life — a friendship, a team, a vow — is being tested by conditions that would make leaving easy. Loyalty maintained with eyes open is the dream affirming that the staying is real work and is being chosen, not defaulted to. Loyalty given where it is no longer earned, with no recognition of the cost, is the dream noting that the fidelity has stopped being a virtue and become a habit you cannot any longer afford.
