Light
Light in dreams often speaks to clarity emerging, understanding dawning, or hope arriving where confusion lived. Yet dim or flickering light may suggest partial knowing — the truth half-seen, the path only partly illuminated, leaving you to wonder what still hides in shadow.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for light, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of light, success will attend you. To dream of weird light, or if the light goes out, you will be disagreeably surprised by some undertaking resulting in nothing.
To see a dim light, indicates partial success.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Candles, Lamp and Torch.) To dream you see a great light, is a happy presage; it denotes that you will attain honors, and become rich; in love it shows a sweetheart of an amiable disposition.
