selling dreams
When someone gives you what-if scenarios that could hypothetically come true, giving false hope and then you finding out that they sold you words (a "dream"), that could never be achieved.
EXAMPLE 1:
What happened to you Alyssa?
Oh, I'm so bummed out.
Why is that?
Josh was selling me dreams. He said he bought a house when I decided to move to "__" with him, but he still lives with his parents. What am I going to do?
EXAMPLE TWO:
Josh, I haven't seen you in a while. How have you been?
Dude, I found out Alyssa was selling me dreams.
Selling dreams?
She never loved me, all she said was stuff that she wanted to marry me, but it turns out she never loved me in the first place.

Sell the dream, live the nightmare
The mantra of every salesperson alive, they promise the client unachievable results if they just sign on the line. Once the dream is sold, the operations team then needs to unravel the web of deceit sold and "recalibrate" the client's expectations (i.e., the nightmare).
Todd: " How did we lose our biggest client last week?"
Tyler: "It seems once they talked with Operations they realized there was no way they could make that deadline. Another classic example of 'sell the dream, live the nightmare."
