Keep dreaming about dp cheating

That's it I'm fed up! I know it's not real but I keep having very vivid and distressing dreams that dp is going to cheat on me. Its got to the point where i cant dismiss it anymore,I am very highly intuitive. Its not like it plays in my mind all the time so I am consciously worried. The thought hardly ever crosses my mind. The only thing I can think off is that dp has been with 1 women before me so maybe one day he will become curious. And our Sex life is down the drain which doesn't help.

Lasts night dream was really upsetting. We have 2 dc and in my dream it's always me trying to find him as he leaves us, to discover that he has been cheating. Also as silly as it sounds it does affect how I feel about him since the emotions are so real from dream (not all day but in the morning) and the fact that I keep having them is concerning me. There have been other things our relationship I had hunches about that ended up coming true. So am I destined to end up being cheated on? I wouldn't go far too say it's an insecurity but I don't know whether to just ignore this all because it's a dream or not. Has anyone else had this???

Aibu you are being crazy it's just a dream
Ainbu trust your dreams

He may not cheat but you must be worrying that he's being disloyal to you in some way.

Dreams are
hardly ever about what
you actually think they are. More symbolic than anything. Talk to him. If he’s cheating and think you are some sort of psychic that
will freak him out 😂

Research suggests that dreams aren't prophetic, they are how we process unresolved thoughts and emotions from the day (that we haven't processed during the day).
The dream is likely to link to thoughts/feelings that you are shutting off.
The key features of the dream, as you tell it, are looking for something that is important to your family and being cheated (think of this in its broadest sense).
Now have a think about these things in their broadest sense. For example, what has gone/can't you find that is impacting of you and your DC (for lots of people right now, this could be linked to financial security... looking to get back a sense of being financially 'safe enough'). In terms of the 'cheating', it could link to the same theme as the looking/loss, whereby you are feeling less secure about something. Or, it could be linked to thoughts/feelings that connect with other experiences that you associate with cheating (being lied to, being humiliated, being let down etc). If you think about what feelings the 'cheating' evoked during the dream, try and think about what or who in your life may be triggering these thoughts.
It is unlikely that your partner is linked to the unprocessed thoughts/feelings.
If you were repressing thoughts/feelings about him cheating, your dream would more likely be something like your boss giving one of your clients to a member of the team you'd never met and not letting you know until you accidentally discover this!
