Universal Landscape: Focused thought; penetrating energy.
Dreaming Lens: What was the source of the light? From what direction did it come? Was there visible machinery/technology connected to the light? What was the purpose of the light?
Personal Focus: Light is energy in motion. We generally think of it in terms of that which illuminates and makes things visible. However, light is actually a wave of energy, only a small fraction of which is visible to the human eye. In this way, the light we can see represents conscious thoughts. Various forms of light can represent different levels and intensities of thought. A beam is a focus of light that has the ability to illuminate a particular area or object and is, therefore, symbolic of concentrated thought. The concept of “thought” itself is understandably very vague and ambiguous. Therefore, it is important to consider the entire context of the beam(s) of light that appear in your dream in order to begin an effective interpretation.
The beams from the headlights of a car represent the thoughts about the direction the car is traveling and perhaps also its destination. Witnessing headlights from another car represents thoughts about unknown or outside influences that are just becoming conscious. Consider the source of the light: headlights from a police car evoke different reactions than those of a large truck. Add these Personal Focus elements to your interpretation if they are known to you in the dream.
There are many other forms of light beams that could appear in your dreams. In each case, the source and purpose of the beam, as well as its intensity and reach, will lead you to your interpretation. The beam from a lighthouse implies guidance through emotional issues that may be fogging your ability to navigate. A search light from a police helicopter might imply imminent danger or authority issues. A laser beam used as a pointer for presentations could be signaling a need to focus your ideas and gain clarity. A beam from outer space might suggest information from a higher source is becoming available to you.
