Was "Everyday" a "project" that you were lying to your father about? I mean when you said your project wasn't ready, in some sense you knew it WAS ready and it was "Everyday"? If so it's interesting that you associate it both with a father who is absent from your life, and you lie about it. Perhaps the dream is saying you are in denial about something. I believe that dreams are usually meant to communicate something that you aren't already aware of, or aren't fully aware of. It's possible you don't realize the extent to which you execute this coping strategy.
