Gas Lamps
A gas lamp often touches steady light and pleasant surroundings — progress lit clearly — unless it explodes or fails. The dream may ask where a reliable, warming light is guiding your way, what comfort and forward motion it casts, and whether the steady glow you depend on is sound or threatening to gutter into distress.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gas lamps, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a gas lamp, denotes progress and pleasant surroundings. To see one explode, or out of order other wise, foretells you are threatened with unseasonable distress.
