Lamp in a dream
Folk tradition reads a lamp in a dream as the light of home: knowledge, alertness and someone waiting for you.
In folk belief, a lamp is a sign of light that you kindle and carry yourself. Lit on a table, it is read as learning, reading and calm evenings, and a lamp in the window as a home where someone waits for you. Old dream books say a lantern in your hand means you can find the way even when it is dark. If the lamp went out in the dream, it is believed only that it is time to rest. A light, people remind us, is switched on with a single motion.
