Lie – Truth and lies are very important in dream symbolism, and should always be paid attention to. If you dream of telling a lie, or of being lied to, this is an indication of a breakdown of trust between you and the other person involved in the lie in your dream. It can also be indicative of an insecurity or instability in the truth of a situation. Perhaps you are not certain what the truth is, or perhaps the truth is something different from what you believe it is. In addition, past events often play out differently in dreams than they actually did in reality, sometimes bringing on thoughts that the dream itself told a lie. Remember that this may also be the result of wishful thinking, or your subconscious mind working through alternative endings if you had acted differently. This is an essential part of learning from your mistakes, and should be embraced and taken seriously.
