ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of the light in dreams?

Light can symbolise a wish to focus attention on some issue and thereby find a solution. E.g.

"I try not to understand my own depressive feelings as they can really scare me"[Dream Dictionary - turn on switch dull light]

"I try to understand myself but right now I am dull and uninspired"[Dream symbol - turn on light switch but light does not come on]

"I am clear now about what I want to do career wise. I have decided to focus my attention on one thing in particular. I have ditched my interest in the other options"[Dream Dictionary - turn off some lights and turn on spot light]

"I guess I feel a bit guilty because I didn’t visit my mom."[Dream symbol - Turn off lights]

"the day before I had a long chat with a stress councilor at work. It helped me become a little more clear on things"[Dream Dictionary - flash light]

lights can also link to something that you are focusing on and thinking about . E.g.

"I am having my period. I know it causes me pain but I have to carry on. Its pointless complaining." [Dream Dictionary - Bright lights in hospital]

"I have always enjoyed work but just recently its starting to UNDERSTAND how unhappy and troubled work is right now"[Dream Dictionary - light creeps through]

"I was being troubled at work by this guy. I am starting to be CLEAR about what I need to do. Toughen up"[Dream Dictionary - light]

"This customer made it obvious that he did not like what I did. I wasn’t that bothered though"[Dream Dictionary - church lit up]

Light can link to a need to see what is happening. It shows you are interested in something and watchful of changes. It can link to issues where you sense danger. E.g.

"I was petrified of the hurricane Katrina"[Dream Dictionary - outside security light comes on]

"my husband committed suicide and I knew exactly where to find him"[Dream symbol - darkness and then light]

Light can suggest that you know how your feeling and have very definite thoughts in some way. It can link to sureness and clarity. E.g.

"I had a wonderful SPIRITUAL dream and it stayed with me all day"[Dream symbol - bright light]

"I told her I would not lie to protect her. I know it was the right thing to do"[Dream Dictionary - dazzled by afternoon light]

A lack of light can symbolise a lack of clarity and lack of understanding. E.g.

"I am stuck looking at deep meanings and thinking about myself and my personality. "[Dream Dictionary - light in cavern]

"I know it caused me a lot of hassle but I have to remember that he sent me a present so I cannot get on his case about it."[Dream Dictionary - fluorescent light]

"I was always unclear why he acted the way he did. I think I understand now"[Dream Dictionary - no lights on]

"At first I trusted him and really loved him. But now I know he only uses me"[Dream Dictionary - a column of light disappears]

Light can symbolise awareness or lack of awareness. E.g.

"my boss pressures me all the time. She creeps upon me when I am unaware"[Dream symbol - dim lighting]

SAMPLE DREAM
-------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I was on a warzone, like Iraq or ya see in the movies. Buildings missing chunks. No one around. I was in a third person view. From what I could see there was a man holding two katanas. I thought it was me. He was looking in the distance. There I saw a figure in this green armor with a god like psyche like he had killed hundreds but it didn’t bother him at all. Then the figure I thought was me called out "Brother why are you doing this we shouldn’t be fighting". Then both readied their weapons and an explosion occured with a blinding light and I woke up then.

THE REALITY The dreamer was a big believer in the martial arts from fist fights to swords with the need to follow the path of honor. He wishes to be a sniper or pilot because of the intensity. This belief in violence is balanced by a belief in guardian angels and guardian demons. He wishes to learn to use his anger as a last resort. He also believes that if hatred gives someone strength and love gives them more, then wouldn’t using both give even more.

From the day this dream occurred he took his meditation further. He looked up everything from Chakra to Ki, from invoking archangels to calling on the guardian demon. He began to notice corruption that existed around him from Governments to religion.

DREAM ANALYSIS Dreams can occasionally be linked to premonitions or telepathy. Yet more often their meanings are extremely mundane. Thats true for many dreams that seem to be dreams of major importance. They are entirely internal. They show the inside workings of the mind. They link to how we store new ideas.

Often we have to ask which comes first the chicken or the egg. This dreamer had a dream which seemed to point him to a new path. It is easy to mistake this as some message fro a higher source. It is more likely that such dreams link to our own inner selves. They show us forming new insights during the night. The dreams we have merely reflect these new ideas as they emerge.

This dream was already trying to bring greater balance to his life. He wanted to add control to balance his own anger and ability to hurt. This dream merely intensified this.

The dream seems to play out the very values that were rising to such prominence within his mind. The dream was showing in the form of a little story the values that he was forming. That need for self control. That need for balance.

This interpretation does not really downplay the importance of the dreams meaning. This dream shows the dreamer exploring his own higher self. It shows a belief in ideas. Yet it is likely to be internal in origin. Not linked to premonitions or telepathy.
