Lie or secret in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A lie or a secret is read as something kept from the light. Dream books ask what is not being said — by others, or by you. Telling a lie is linked to guilt or the strain of keeping up appearances, while being lied to points to doubt about someone’s honesty. A secret coming out is read as relief mixed with fear, the moment when hiding is no longer possible. Being unable to tell the truth stands for feeling unheard. The dream may reflect a small evasion in waking life that has started to feel heavy.
