What does it mean to dream about crisis of trust?

A moment of severe doubt regarding the reliability of self, others, or life itself in a dream, often accompanied by deep anxiety.

A crisis of trust archetypally symbolizes a critical moment of revising core beliefs about the safety and predictability of the world — a necessary, if painful, stage toward a more mature, realistic understanding of trust. This often precedes a more resilient form of faith.
