Lie
Lies in dreams often point to the parts of ourselves we're keeping hidden—not from others, but from our own view. When dishonesty appears while sleeping, it may be asking: what truth have you been avoiding, and what would happen if you finally turned to face it?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lie, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of telling a lie about a woman, is a sign you will kiss a black one: to dream that you lie about your business, denotes that a colored man will rob you: lies generally, imagined in dreams, denote either injuries or caresses by colored people.
