FORGERY

Dream Meaning

A dream that involves forgery — whether you are creating it, discovering it, or being victimized by it — places authenticity and trust at the center of your psychic attention. Forged documents, forged art, forged signatures: each speaks to something presented as real that is constructed to deceive, to pass for what it is not.

If you are the forger in your dream, the uncomfortable truth is that you may be representing yourself or your qualifications in ways that feel somewhat manufactured — performing a confidence or competence that you are not sure is genuine. If you discover forgery, your instincts about someone's sincerity deserve careful attention; something in their presentation has struck your subconscious as inconsistent, even before your waking mind found the language for suspicion.

This dream is a call to look more closely, and to hold both yourself and others to the standard of authentic dealing.
