Lighthouse

A lighthouse — steady light through storm or calm — often touches difficulties that disperse before prosperity, or congenial joys on a placid sea. The dream may ask where a guiding light is holding firm amid trouble, whether the storm you're weathering will give way to calm, and what safe bearing the beacon is offering through the dark.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lighthouse, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

If you see a lighthouse through a storm, difficulties and grief will assail you, but they will disperse before prosperity and happiness.

To see a lighthouse from a placid sea, denotes calm joys and congenial friends.
