[Meaning] truth, not [sc. experienced] in a dream.[1]
A daydream.[2]

Notes:
See also upsilon 156.
[1] Likewise or similarly in other lexica; references at Photius upsilon75, where however Theodoridis obelizes the transmitted a)lh/qeia, i.e. nominative case, and endorses the dative a)lhqei/a| (in one of the mss of Cyril).
[2] Similarly in other lexica, including Apollonius' Homeric Lexicon, cf. the scholia to Homer, Odyssey 19.547.
[3] Julian, Epistles 108 (claiming the first clause as proverbial).
[4] Doubtful etymology: see Hofmann s.v., according to whom the word might be formed out of analogy with the word o)/nar. Chantraine, however, supports the view of Frisk that this was an old noun with an r-stem, related to u(/pnos "sleep."
