Lightning in a dream
Folk tradition reads lightning in a dream as a sudden idea or insight that lights up your whole path in an instant.
In folk belief lightning in a dream means an abrupt flash of clarity: all at once something you have long been pondering becomes plain. Old dream books say the light of lightning matters more than its noise, so it is read as inspiration, a quick decision or news arriving unannounced. Lightning in the distance means a change that is only being prepared. If you flinched in the dream, it is believed to be mere excitement, because after the flash the sky is left clearer.
