There are many ways in which we are abandoned in dreams, it could be our family leaving us, friends shunning us, partner or lover did not want a relationship with us. There is though a central reason for this dream which I need to share with you. Abandonment usually comes when we realize that there is a fear of being excluded from society or from a group of people but there is a positive aspect to this dream. Like in movies, we often have a happy ending, and when we look around the understand that we don't need anyone.

This is what is known as common anxiety and often re-occur in our dreams when we are trying to protect something that is important to us.

Ancient dream dictionaries point out that this dream has two meanings. Firstly, the meaning indicates that you may need to let go of something in your life completely. The second meaning has a more negative influence and implies that you need to neglect something and deal with the loss and the consequence: maybe you have been abandoned in a job or a relationship. If you felt worried about being abandoned in the dream - then this could be interpreted as a negative sign. On a spiritual level, this dream demonstrates going back to the abandonment felt as a child and the separation anxiety that a baby may suffer when left by its mother.

Something needs to be kept and something needs to be let go. If you are being abandoned as a child in your dream, you may experience reconciliation or recovery from trouble or illness.

What does it mean to dream about being abandoned by your wife, husband, lover girlfriend or boyfriend?

If you are actually abandoned by anyone (such as your partner) then it clearly shows that you are seeking some kind of freedom in your life and you need to put steps in place in order to address this. The experience of being abandoned by the love of your life in the dream state can be soul-crushing on a spiritual level. Ignored people look for a way to connect, maybe in real life your purpose and faith are lost.

I know how bad it feels even in the dream state to lose your wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend or just a lover. Maybe you are simply afraid of the relationship and the landscape of going forward is not there. This dream about being or abandoning a relationship is about a spiritual connection to the Universe --- maybe this is severed or has been disrupted on a metaphysical level. Is there a reason why the Universe sent you this dream? You may wonder how this happened to you.
 
There is a possibility for growth when a lover abandons you in a dream. It's possible that the Universe is teaching you something important about this relationship. This could mean (maybe) you need to create healthier boundaries in relationships or focus on loving yourself first. Faith, resilience, trust, and self-love can also be associated with this.
 
Having been abandoned or shunned by a lover can also be connected to your career success, emotional health, and connections with friends and family. As I have said above, setting boundaries, developing healthy relationships, and taking care of YOU first may be the spiritual message. The stress of reality and being ignored by people in the dream state is about you finding the time to just figure stuff out.
 
It may also be an opportunity for you to find deeper meaning in life if you abandoned or shunned your lover in a dream. By looking inward after this dream you can explore your innermost feelings and thoughts, as well as connect more deeply with the Universe. Remember, that even in the midst of darkness, we can learn to open ourselves up to love and connection.

We may feel, even though just a dream a sense of loneliness and isolation can result, as well as depression and other mental health issues. A feeling of abandonment and insecurity may have been present since childhood when you feel abandoned or rejected by those closest to you. The fear of being hurt again can also make trusting others or engaging in relationships difficult.
 
It is important to remember that being abandoned or rejected in a dream does not mean you are worthless or unloved. I also believe this dream is about the cultivation of self-love and the support of other people are possible. Practicing self-care and engaging in activities that bring joy or meaning can also help build resilience and cope with difficult emotions. Don't be afraid to ask for love and support if you feel alone or without it. Healing and hope begin with taking care of yourself. Remember the story of the rabbit who couldn't reach the apples? The apples were too far away for the rabbit to reach so he made up a story about how they were sour.
 
Be like the rabbit. Accept the fact that maybe people around you are not great for you. But don't be discouraged. Living your best life requires you to look at relationships and these take time and effort. What amount of effort and time are you willing to put into achieving the life you want? Any sacrifices that are necessary to achieve what you really want in life.
