What does dreaming about light mean in the Bible?

Light is one of the Bible's clearest pictures of Christ Himself — "I am the light of the world." Light in a dream often speaks of truth breaking in, direction being given, or hope after a dark stretch. God's word is called a lamp for the feet: enough light for the next step, even when the whole road is hidden. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, light is filed under nature — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: John 8:12, Psalms 119:105, Matthew 5:14. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to light, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
