Abstract

Honesty

Speaking what is actually true — a stance that places accuracy above the convenience of the moment.

Honesty in a dream is the dream's image of speech that places accuracy above the convenience of the moment. Honesty is not the same as harshness; the honest person can still be kind, but they will not soften the truth out of recognition. The dream brings honesty when something in your life — a conversation that has been delayed for fear of upset, a fact that the household has agreed not to mention, a self-assessment that has been kinder than the evidence — is at the point of needing the truth on the table. Honesty offered with care is the dream affirming the right stance. Honesty deployed as a weapon, with the accuracy used to hurt rather than to clarify, is the dream noting that the stance has been borrowed for the wrong purpose.
