Pickpocket
A pickpocket — stealing unseen from those close — often touches an enemy succeeding in harassing you and causing loss, with envy and spite behind it. The dream may ask who is quietly taking what's yours under cover of nearness, and whether keeping your own counsel might protect you from the sly, spiteful machinations working against you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pickpocket, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a pickpocket, foretells some enemy will succeed in harassing and causing you loss. For a young woman to have her pocket picked, denotes she will be the object of some person's envy and spite, and may lose the regard of a friend through these evil machinations, unless she keeps her own counsel. If she picks others' pockets, she will incur the displeasure of a companion by her coarse behavior.
