Beacon-light
The beacon-light is guidance through danger — a fixed point that promises safe passage. For those at sea or in distress, it marks fair going and warm, unbroken attachments. The dream tends to touch what steadies us when the way is dark, and to ask what light we are steering by, and whether it holds.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for beacon-light, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a sailor to see a beacon-light, portends fair seas and a prosperous voyage.
For persons in distress, warm attachments and unbroken, will arise among the young.
To the sick, speedy recovery and continued health. Business will gain new impetus. To see it go out in time of storm or distress, indicates reverses at the time when you thought Fortune was deciding in your favor.
