Betrayal in a dream is a fear of losing trust, or a sign that you are betraying yourself. It rarely predicts a real betrayal.
When the dream feels light
Forgiving a betrayal speaks of maturity and freedom from the past.
When the dream feels dark
Being betrayed points to insecurity, jealousy or an old wound.
Ask yourself
Where am I not being faithful to myself?

The card of this dream
Three of Swords. The pierced heart: sorrow, separation, a painful truth. Three swords pierce a red heart under a sky of grey rain. It is heartbreak, grief and painful truth: a wound that hurts, but one that is clean and can heal.
