Lying in Dreams

If you dream about lying, it may symbolize a fear of being discovered or a concern about being exposed. This could represent a feeling of guilt or shame, or a fear of being caught in a lie or deception.

Lying in Dreams

Dreaming of lying is as it sounds; a sign of lying. There can be two ways of perceiving this. Dreaming of yourself lying is the habitual lying that you may undertake, to deceive someone and lead them astray from reality. Your dream of lying to someone may be the guilt you feel.

Yet, there is also someone else lying to you; of course, you will only know that it’s a lie if you know the answer already. Dreaming of someone else lying to you is the manifestation of possible anger or hurt of someone deceiving you.

The lying could symbolize a lack of trust or honesty in your relationships. You may be feeling a sense of disconnection from others and be struggling to be open and truthful.

  1. I dreamed of pushing someone down in a race, but I lied about it when asked. This race took place on a cruise ship. I am making connections between the different symbols in my dream but lying isn’t matching up.

    • In life, we are all in a race of sorts, striving for success, recognition, or personal fulfillment. Pushing someone in this race can symbolize the lengths to which you may go, or fear you may go, to achieve your goals. It may reflect a fear of unethical behavior or a guilt about real or imagined missteps in your pursuit of success.

      Lying about the incident in the dream points to an internal conflict. It suggests a fear of being seen as flawed or unethical. This could be a reflection of your own standards and values, where you strive to maintain a certain image or protect your reputation, even at the cost of honesty. Alternatively, it could represent a fear of confrontation or the consequences of your actions. Your dream seems to be a reflection on competition and ethics. It explores the tension between ambition and morality, and the fear of how others perceive you. It’s a journey on the high seas of ambition, where the waters can sometimes get rough, and the choices we make can leave us navigating through storms of guilt and self-reflection.

    • Dreaming of a secret kept from a parent, specifically a father figure, and then experiencing the unearthing of this hidden information symbolizes a profound journey into the realms of transparency, trust, and emotional integrity. In this dream scenario, the veil of secrecy is lifted, allowing light to pierce through the shadows, revealing not just facts but also deeply held emotional landscapes.

      The unfolding of your dream is much like the tale of Pandora’s Box. Once opened, all the complexities—good and bad—come rushing out. You and your sibling play the roles of reluctant guardians of this secret, akin to gatekeepers who reluctantly hold the keys to a forbidden garden. When the truth emerges, it is as if the garden’s gates have been thrown wide open, allowing everyone involved to truly see what lies within—whether it’s beautiful flora or thorns.

      In your dream, your father, who leaves initially upon the revelation, represents not just a parental figure but also an embodiment of emotional and moral authority. When he walks away, it’s like the symbolical displacement of trust and stability in your life. His return, and his understanding, symbolizes the resilience and reformation of your relationship, much like a phoenix rising anew from its own ashes. It signals the transformative power of honesty and the mending capacity of unconditional love.

      Leaving your mother in the dream signifies a transitional phase in your emotional and familial relationships. It mirrors a decisive shift in alliances and core values, much like a tectonic plate shifting, causing the landscape of your emotional world to rearrange. Your mother in this dream represents not just herself but also a certain set of values or lifestyle that you no longer wish to align with. Departing from her signals your readiness to form new emotional bonds that are rooted in trust and openness rather than secrecy.

      The figure of your sibling in the dream plays a pivotal role, almost as if they are your comrade-in-arms. This reminds us of classic tales of sibling partnerships, think Hansel and Gretel, navigating through the tricky maze of familial complexities. Your sibling’s presence underscores the importance of allies during transitional phases, offering emotional and moral support as you both journey through this unfolding revelation.

      This dream arrives as an allegorical nudge to confront unresolved issues and hidden secrets in your waking life. You are urged to delve deep into those emotional corridors that you have hesitated to walk down. Whether it is having an open conversation with your parents or reassessing your core values, the dream suggests that it’s time to align your outer life with your inner truth.

  3. Hello. I had a dream that my boyfriend left to travel somewhere to meet up with a women. How I found out was he made a video explaining what he did. I was afraid he cheated on me and everyone knew but me. I asked around to find out and even asked him but nobody would tell me. They told me to watch the video and so I did. He said, that he left to go somewhere to meet up with this girl and told her he broke up with me. They didn’t do anything sexual. Before I watched the video I was having panic attack and could feel myself not carry on if he did cheat. I dropped to the ground crying and happen to land in river. I have feeling this means something because there was so much emotion. Before I had this dream. Yesterday in real life he got stuck at a around about. And I went to go help him. After we got him home. He told me he saw old friend that’s girl from middle school. And that made me very uneasy. I understand you have to trust your partner but we are young and been having problems. There was a time recently he broke up with me and I begged him for second chance for me to be there for him and that he didn’t have to be there for me because he was there for me and I wasn’t there when he needed me. I may be afraid that he may leave me for something better but I am trying really hard to be the person he needs. I’m stuck on trying to figure this I really hope someone could give me some feedback.

    • Dreaming about your boyfriend lying to you and leaving you for another woman speaks volumes about the deep-seated fears and insecurities you may be dealing with in your waking life. Such dreams often stem from feelings of vulnerability, betrayal, and a lack of trust. The imagery and events that occur in your dream provide significant clues about your current emotional state and relationship dynamics.

      The boyfriend in your dream represents the person you’re intimately involved with in real life, and his actions in the dream are reflections of your fears and anxieties. When he lies to you and leaves you for another woman, it signifies your fear of being abandoned or replaced, a common fear among individuals who feel insecure in their relationships.

      Your dream represents a fear of rejection and a desperate need for validation. The other woman in your dream might symbolize a perceived threat to your relationship. This could be someone from his past, as was the case in your real life situation, or it could simply represent an abstract fear of being replaced.

      The video in your dream signifies a situation or issue that needs to be confronted directly. Your friends’ refusal to tell you what happened, urging you instead to watch the video, suggests your need for truth and clarity, even when it is painful.

      When you describe having a panic attack and dropping to the ground crying in your dream, it indicates a feeling of immense emotional distress, a fear of confronting the painful truth, and an underlying dread of losing someone dear to you. The river you landed in symbolizes your emotional state and how you are letting your fear and anxiety carry you away.

      Consider this anecdote to further illuminate your dream. In her dream, a woman named Julia was engaged to be married. Her dream took a heartbreaking turn when she saw her fiancé in the arms of another woman. Julia felt betrayed, abandoned, and rejected. In her waking life, she had been feeling insecure about her relationship and feared that her fiancé was not as committed as he should be. This dream was a manifestation of her deepest fears and insecurities.

      Julia sought to understand her dream better and used it as a springboard to address her fears. She engaged in honest and open communication with her fiancé, sharing her anxieties, and seeking reassurance. Her dream acted as a catalyst for conversations that ultimately strengthened her relationship.

      Your dream sends a similar message. It tells you that your fears and insecurities need to be addressed. To deal with the feelings brought about by your dream, it is essential to engage in open, honest, and constructive conversations with your boyfriend. Express your fears, insecurities, and anxieties to him. If you are honest and open about your feelings, it could lead to a deeper understanding and stronger connection between you two.

  4. I dreamt that my boyfriend was lying to me about not hiding something, throughout the dream I have my suspicions and later figure out he’s messing around with another and he’s doing drugs, I try to get him to tell me the truth and he keep denying it and I also try to get him to stop doing drugs but he can’t/doesn’t want to and insists that he was medically prescribed but then he takes more then he needs and the dream ends with me holding him in my lap crying and he’s all grey and obviously high or something.

    • Dreaming of a loved one involved in deceitful activities and substance abuse points towards a profound symbol of concern, apprehension, and unexpressed fears or anxieties. The dream is rife with negative energy, suggesting you may be going through a period of emotional turmoil or distress. The vivid depiction of your boyfriend’s behavior in the dream reflects deep-seated fears and doubts about his honesty and your relationship’s integrity. It’s a powerful expression of the internal conflicts and worries that you may be dealing with in your waking life.

      In your dream, the act of your boyfriend lying to you and hiding something signifies a sense of mistrust and betrayal. If you’re feeling insecure or suspicious in your waking relationship, these feelings might surface in your dream. This might indicate issues with trust or communication within your relationship that need to be addressed.

      The theme of substance abuse in the dream symbolizes a dangerous situation or destructive behavior. This could either be a literal representation of your concerns about your boyfriend’s health and well-being, or a symbolic representation of some other unhealthy behavior or negative influence in his or your life. The fact that your boyfriend is seen to insist that he was medically prescribed but then takes more than he needs, might be an expression of your fears about losing control or about a situation in your life spiraling out of hand.

      If you have been feeling anxious or stressed about your relationship or your boyfriend’s behavior, dreaming about him engaging in deceit and substance abuse could be a reflection of these concerns. It might be an indication that you need to communicate more openly about your worries and fears.

  5. Had a dream where my boyfriend was already Engaged but dating me. He lied saying he wasnt going to marry her and be with me. At the end of the dream he was still marrying her and we got into a argument while he was driving. I woke up after that

    • Dreaming about your boyfriend being engaged to someone else while also dating you can signify deep-seated fears and insecurities in your relationship. It symbolizes a sense of confusion, betrayal, and frustration, and may reflect your subconscious fear of deception, infidelity, or loss. The car journey and the argument signify tumultuous emotions and a journey that isn’t proceeding as smoothly as you would like.

      This dream carries a lot of negative energy, emanating from the fear of being deceived by someone close to you. It reflects the anxiety you may have about your boyfriend’s commitment and the possibility of a competing love interest. You might be feeling insecure about your relationship, and this dream is expressing those underlying insecurities.

      Dreaming about your boyfriend being engaged with another person indicates that there are underlying issues in your relationship that need to be addressed. The symbol of him driving suggests that he might be in control of the direction your relationship is heading. The argument could represent your internal struggle and emotional turmoil.

      Your dream might be signaling that it’s time for open communication in your relationship. Express your fears, discuss your relationship goals, and strengthen your mutual understanding. This dream should not be seen as a prophecy but rather a reflection of your inner feelings.

      Dreaming of your boyfriend lying to you represents a breach of trust and integrity. It signifies that you’re dealing with issues of trust and fear of betrayal in your relationship. If these feelings are present in your waking life, it’s crucial to address them.

  6. Last night I had an oddly specific dream (not unusual for me but it was random). In the dream, I was walking into my apartment building and there is a door to open to get into my hallway. I locked the door behind me, so that a man behind me could not come in. I then went into my apartment and went about my business. In the dream, I wake up in the middle of the night to people from my apartment building trying to figure out who locked the hallway door. I lied and said it wasn’t me nor do I have a key for it. For some reason, no one believed me. So, they had me take my set of keys and prove that I don’t have one to that door. I ran to it so I could unlock it before anyone could see and claim that they were wrong and it was unlocked. Only one girl actually saw the truth and I asked her not to tell them I had the key, and she agreed to it. For some reason, I thought if they knew I lied that I wouldn’t be allowed to take my blood pressure medicine anymore. The dream drifted off from there and I actually woke up. This only stands out to me because it was such a bizarre dream concept.

  7. I keep dreaming of my boyfriend lying to me or getting out of spending time with me. Why does this keep happening? I’m so frustrated and upset when I wake up, the dreams feel so real and I feel like I can’t even talk to anyone about this.

    • Maybe the fact that you feel you can’t tell who should be closest to you about your dream, is an answer as to why you are having it.

  8. I dreamed that my husband of 9 years had been lying to me about his past. In the dream I found out he had had several children with other women and even been briefly married to one of the women before he met me. It made me question everything I knew to be my reality and I woke up in tears. Thankful it was just a dream but I’m wondering if there’s a deeper meaning.

  11. my dream was movie based, it played out with aspects of TV shows that i watch as well as movies… in my dream i was getting married and there was people who were after me.. i received training in forms of fighting small arms and swords.. i trained with a girl who was very talented and attractive,( not what i normally go for but very cute and a great fighter) on my wedding day i noticed that one member was not on the list and may be the one after me. ( a hired killer) the girl i was training with that i knew, we spent time together and developed feelings for, was with me at the wedding.. as we were getting ready for the day we knew that it was going to happen there.. we looked at each other and i asked her if i am making the right choice (for getting married).. she said no and we kissed and i held her( i told her how nice it would be to have a girl like that in my life)
    … but both knew that we had to do a job…. i walked over to a “friend” who was getting prepared and asked him to sharpen my sword.. ( i have plenty of real swords in my apartment i like swords…) but in my dream i knew the sword i gave him wasn’t a “real” sword.. i asked him to sharpen it but willing lied and told him my REAL sword was at my parents house… i have some great swords some functional ones but none that i could or want to use in a protection/fight… after gearing up i walked with the girl inside and told her that “I’ve seen this movie before” and it will not end with her death protecting me or getting caught and killed.. i dont like to lie its too hard to remember your lies and then keep up with them and remembering who you lied to… the truth is much easier and no drama… but my dream i willingly lied knowing that it was a lie but didnt want to use or put anyone else in harms way… i knew it was a lie even thought about it as i was saying it.. just wondering what that could mean.

  12. Having not dreamed for ages I have had two vivid dreams on 2 consecutive nights. My 1st dream was that there was water flooding my house and this had caused electrical fires. Each electrical item and plug sockets had flames coming from them. I was struggling to turn the switch on each plug socket to off. I was scared of being electrocuted because of the water but I wasn’t getting wet. Each time I managed to turn the socket switch off another socket would alight. The flames were variable from small to very large and had elements of blue, red, orange and white colours.
    My second dream is written about in the next comment on this thread.

  13. I dreamt that I posted a statement on social media. The statement was a lie about someone I didn’t know . The lie was posted on a friends page. This lie was then exposed although not my friend who never mentioned the lie. The lie about the person I didn’t know was that he didn’t really love his Grandmother (but I knew he did really love his Grandmother)
    After my lie being exposed, I didn’t feel any remorse just embarrassment at being caught lying. The person I had lied about was then in my bed with somebody else and he had seen the lie I’d written about him. I took my iPad from him & attemted to clear my name on social media . The statement had been shared & lots of people were commenting negatively about me but I still wouldn’t admit I had lied (or apologise to the young man in my bed) The young man then got out of my bed (I was sitting on the bottom of the bed) and began to look over my shoulder at what I was writing. The dream ended at this point.

  17. I dreamt I went into a drugstore wearing blue acrylic nails. I deliberately tore one off as I entered the store. I was thinking I would buy one pack of acrylic nails and then steal a handful of packs to sell on the street. I shoved the items into my pocket and approached the counter to pay. The woman at the counter was very friendly and we shared a few laughs while I dug up my money. I pulled out a $26 bill and we laughed really hard about how that bill was in existence, where I got it from, who made it, etc. She gave me a receipt and before I walked away, she stopped me and said,”I saw what you did.”
    I panicked and had to come up with a lie. In response, I said, “There’s a man outside waiting for me. He made me do this and he will kill me if I don’t return to him soon.”
    She whispered, “Give me your address and I’ll save you.”
    Instead, I only said thank you and walked out of the store. There was a police officer waiting outside but was busy having a conversation with a group of people. I took off running through the city in hopes to never get caught. My question is this: I was aware of my dishonesty while I was having the dream. I was aware of myself. Is this a form of lucid dreaming? I have lucid dreams quite often and even though I wasn’t aware I was dreaming, I was aware of my own being and I was aware that I was lying. What do you think? Lucid dream or not?
