A plot about cheating—one's own or a partner's—often triggering strong emotions even in a happy waking relationship.
Cheating in a dream according to common belief is not a prophecy of actual infidelity, but more often an expression of one's own insecurity. A dream about infidelity is rarely literal—more often it reflects a fear of losing attention, significance, or an anxiety about one's own inadequacy in a relationship. Sometimes infidelity in a dream symbolizes an internal "betrayal" of oneself—a moment when a person acts against their own values.
Jealousy, pain, anxiety, sometimes a strange indifference
Often arrives in periods of uncertainty in a relationship or in oneself, even without a real cause for concern. Perhaps this dream speaks not so much about your partner as it does about your own anxiety about being enough.
If the anxiety persists in waking life—state it directly to your partner as your own feeling, not as an accusation, and see what opens up in the conversation.
