Inflate – To dream of inflating something may be a negative or a positive symbol, depending on the other circumstances in the dream and the emotions surrounding it. It may be a simple indication of making something bigger than it actually is, “blowing it out of proportion,” as it were. It may also indicate genuine growth and development. If you dream about inflating a balloon this could be an indication of growth, of celebration or, conversely, of falsehood. If the inflated balloon pops, this is a clear signal of failed aspirations and shattered dreams. It is also an indication that those dreams were built on a falsehood of some sort.
