Dreaming that a coworker took credit for your work - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect tension at work: a worry that your effort won’t be recognized or that someone will take what’s yours.
A coworker takes a task or project you were preparing and presents it as their own. You feel hurt and angry, but can’t confront them on the spot, or you try to explain your contribution.
Korean lore: There isn’t a clear, established folk interpretation for this kind of workplace scene. Drawing on the tradition of reading theft as worry about losing what you have or what’s due to you, you might see it as tension about someone taking credit for your work. (This interpretation carefully applies common dream symbols of loss and possession in theft dreams to a workplace scene about achievement.)
Through the mind: Lately, you may have been bothered by whether your work is recognized or how responsibilities are divided. Frustration you’ve found hard to express, or a wish for your efforts to be seen, may have surfaced as conflict in the dream.
