Photography
A photograph — a fixed image standing in for the real thing — often touches approaching deception, with warnings of divided loyalty if it's your lover's likeness. The dream may ask where a flattering, composed picture is being presented to you, and whether the image someone offers of themselves matches the truth or conceals a disloyalty.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for photography, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you see photographs in your dreams, it is a sign of approaching deception.
If you receive the photograph of your lover, you are warned that he is not giving you his undivided loyalty, while he tries to so impress you.
For married people to dream of the possession of other persons' photographs, foretells unwelcome disclosures of one's conduct.
To dream that you are having your own photograph made, foretells that you will unwarily cause yourself and others' trouble.
