What happens in the dream

  • Someone offends you or defames your family with lies: a stranger will do you a good turn, the one happy omen
  • Suspecting your partner of lying: your own behavior may cost you a valued friend
  • Thinking others are liars: you will lose faith in a plan you had pushed hard
  • Being called a liar: vexation from deceitful people

How you felt

  • Guilt: it may express a fear that you haven't been fully honest yourself

Ask yourself

  • Whom do I find hard to trust?
  • Am I being completely honest with myself?
