Dreaming about paranoia may signify an overwhelming sense of dread or anxiety that a threat is imminent. It can also be the act of imagining or being driven to such thoughts.
Paranoia in a dream can represent fear, insecurity, or doubt because at their core fundamentally these are the symptoms of paranoia. The capacity for people to dream about their fears is linked to their individual predispositions towards paranoia. If you have underlying issues with trust then it is crucial to examine your fears – which are idealized in your mind while you sleep; otherwise they will be haunting your waking hours as well.
There are some ways to combat paranoia in a dream. The most common solutions are addressing the sources of your fear, and asking yourself if they’re logical or rational. There is also the option of taking a more active role in the dream and then getting involved with what is happening around you during waking hours.
