Integrity, Compromising Dream Meaning

A compromising activity or situation can represent a feeling or fear of such an activity in real life (one through which you compromise your integrity or allow yourself to be used, taken advantage of, your boundaries crossed by others).

Consider what’s behind those feelings or fears (beliefs, judgments, lack of support for self, or other issues), and look for an opportunity to work through any underlying issues.

Someone else compromising their integrity could represent: the way you’re perceiving, labelling, or judging that person (for example, as self-sabotaging or insecure), you compromising your own integrity somehow.
