The electrostatic dispersion and instabilities for an anisotropic relativistic plasma stream are analytically studied for various regimes with streaming dissipation relevant to the analysis of fusion and turbulence in beam-plasma and wave-plasma interaction. It reveals the modified spectrum of streaming dispersion and onset of instability at nonrelativistic temperatures suitable for space, at moderately relativistic temperature including fusion, and at ultrarelativistic temperature limit relevant to astrophysical plasmas and pulsars.
