Deceit
Active misleading of another — the creation in their mind of a picture you know to be false.
Deceit in a dream is the dream's image of the active creation in another mind of a picture you know to be false. Deceit is not the same as discretion; discretion withholds, deceit produces a wrong impression on purpose. The dream brings deceit when something in your life — a presentation, a personal account, a small everyday story — is being shaped to make the listener believe what the speaker knows is not the case. Deceit noticed and stopped before it lands is the dream affirming the honest correction. Deceit successfully landed, with the listener now operating on the false picture, is the dream noting that the relationship is being conducted on a foundation that one of the two knows is not real, and the cost will be paid when the truth is found.
