Dream Analysis: Boyfriends, Who's Cheating Who

David says:  I dreamed I was following my boyfriend as he walked down the road.  He didn’t know that I was following him, more like I was stalking him for some reason.  In my dream, I thought he was cheating on me, so I decided to follow him.  He turned around a few times as I followed, but each time he did I would hide behind a parked car.  After a few blocks, I saw him meeting with some guy.  I hid behind a car and watched.  From my position, I couldn’t see the other guy’s face, but I could see my boyfriend’s face and he was happy.  When I thought about the dream, I expected to feel guilty about dreaming that he was cheating on me but instead I was just happy for him.

Eric says:  One of the most frequent dreams is the “chase” dream.  Because it is so popular, it can mean many things, but if we look at the other symbols we can start to see a pattern.  I have found many times when dreamers see someone in the dream, that person represents an aspect of the dreamer himself.  In this case, the boyfriend you thought was cheating may represent a fear that you yourself may cheat.  You were following him, trying to catch up to him or “catch yourself” before you do something you regret.    The street represents your life path.  I wish you would have included more details, but they are fairly obvious so I am sure you will know what symbols like bumps in the road, crossroads or any roadwork you saw in your dream meant.  It sounds like your dream contained a very straight forward, but long street.  I would think in the waking world, you and your boyfriend have been together for a while.  Cars represent the way we travel. Rather than quickly speeding down the street in a car, you follow someone slowly, on foot, hiding behind parked cars as you go.  Parked cars normally show that your effort should be placed elsewhere, or a fruitless endeavor.
All in all, I would wonder if after being with your boyfriend for a long while, you did something that made you feel guilty.  Not anything major, since the cheating in your dream is only a suspicion and not a wish to pursue more.  Think of the feelings you listed associated with your dream: sneaking, hiding, feeling guilty but ultimately feeling happy.  In your dream, you boyfriend’s feelings are more straightforward; he is simply happy.  Don’t be so hard on yourself.  As you saw, your boyfriend seemed to be happy and in turn you felt happy that he was happy.  In the end you know that happiness is part of your relationship.
 From the Tarot, I first drew the Nine of Swords, that’s pretty obvious as the nightmare card.  I next drew the Chariot and the Page of Cups symbolizing the need to stick forward to your current path and emotional connection normally between two people with a difference in age.

David says:  I’m glad this is anonymous.  I was out with friends earlier in the week and drunkenly kissed a guy in the bar.  It meant nothing but when I woke up the next day I felt really stupid.  It wasn’t long after that I started to worry that my boyfriend was cheating on me.  I guess I thought if it was so easy and available for me, it would be for him as well.  I understand that I shouldn’t worry so much and I am glad that I am happy with him.  The rest of what you said was pretty accurate too.
