Somewhere in the dream, I had to to steal money from someone's house who was unfairly sold my house. I got there and found the money but they caught me and while we were waiting for the police to arrive to mediate I tried to explain to them why it was still my rightful possession. Then I woke up.
Dreams about stealing, especially in contexts involving conflict over property or possessions, can often reflect deeper feelings of injustice, loss, or a desire to reclaim something that you feel has been unfairly taken from you. In your dream, stealing money from someone who unfairly sold your house suggests that you may be grappling with feelings of betrayal or loss related to personal property or security.
The confrontation with the people in the house and your attempt to explain your side indicates a struggle for validation and acknowledgment of your feelings or circumstances. It seems you are trying to assert your rights and perhaps feeling the pressure of being misunderstood or having to defend your position. This could relate to a real-life situation where you feel marginalized or unfairly treated.
Waking up while waiting for the police might symbolize a pause or an unresolved issue in your waking life. It could reflect anxiety about facing authority or needing resolution for a conflict. Overall, this dream points to themes of conflict, justice, and the need to reclaim control over your life or situation.
Consider reflecting on any current situations that might relate to feelings of injustice or conflict, as addressing these feelings might help you find clarity and resolution.
