THE DREAM I am near some mansion. It appears to be quite elegant and its in the countryside. There seems to be some connection with a lord who is a major gambler. He is also a bounder and a criminal. I seem to be reading a newspaper for the horse racing.

THE REALITY The dreamer was to be featured in a local newspaper. He actually lied about one or two things in order to make his image seem better.

DREAM SYMBOLISM Dreams are very much linked to the previous day. Here there was issue that came to mind for the dreamer. He had lied in an interview about himself for the local newspaper. That was quite a good fit for the dream.

The dream features a mansion. Mansions are huge houses and any large building in dreams symbolises your personality and the outside world. Its an issue involving other people.

The lie is also covered in several other senses. The gambling is a sign of risk taking and the chance of being found out. The criminal is symbolic of the dreamers awareness that he has done something wrong. The Lord symbolises his attempts to make himself seem more important. The countryside may even be symbolic of the dreamers knowledge that his lie will be difficult to detect - the countryside is remote and cut off.
