Catch someone doing something you think they shouldn't can mean:

  • You're feeling watchful or suspicious right now somehow in your life
  • You feel you have power over the person because you have a special knowledge or understanding of them (or wish you did)
  • You want to see that person punished or get into trouble, perhaps because you feel they've been dishonest or unfair
  • You're feeling the need to monitor others or take responsibility for their actions, or it can represent nosiness, vigilance, over-vigilance, or inserting yourself into others' business

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
