What does dreaming about light mean in the Bible?

Christ, truth, and guidance for the next step

In Scripture

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.
