A dream where a friend takes credit for your work in class - dream meaning with inherited lore
The unfairness of your efforts going unnoticed while someone else gets the recognition may appear as a sense of betrayal in the relationship.
During a class or presentation, your friend explains an idea you prepared as if it were their own. Everyone applauds them, while you raise your hand but can't bring yourself to speak.
Korean lore: Traditionally, this kind of dream has sometimes been interpreted as a wish to be recognized for your efforts, or as hurt feelings arising from competition. A scene where someone else takes the credit may also be seen as an opportunity to show your own ability, but that depends on the situation. (In folk dream interpretations, having one’s credit or honor taken away has been connected with competition, the desire for recognition, and tension in relationships.)
Through the mind: You may have felt that your contribution was not properly recorded at work or school. Distrust of a friend may be less about an actual conflict and more a scene standing in for the frustration of wondering, “Do I have to put up with this again?”
