Thief – The thief is a powerful archetype that is often seen in a negative light. In fact, many times the thief is yourself. Humans have the unique ability to destroy themselves through greed and jealousy. However, though this is often the message of the thief, there is another, more classic meaning to the thief. The thief is, basically, a creature that takes things from you. These things may be strictly monetary in value. Other times, the thief takes things that have a very sentimental meaning. If you dream about something sentimental being stolen from you it means that you are losing something that you hold dear. Sometimes it is directly connected to the object. Perhaps you were given a piece of jewelry from a parent or relative. In your dream it was stolen. You relative may be ill or about to die.
