If you dream of a ventriloquist, watch for a deceptive situation unfolding around you — someone may be orchestrating events behind the scenes in ways that work against your best interests. If you dream that you yourself are the ventriloquist, it suggests you may be tempted to mislead or manipulate those who place their confidence in you. If you are a young woman puzzled in your dream by a voice that seems to come from nowhere, take care: someone may be using charm and misdirection to draw you into a situation you would otherwise avoid.
