Dream analysis according to the Book of Changes:
Lights often represent guidance and understanding as they illuminate people's paths.
In a dream, a woman walked along a road encountering various dangers but managed to overcome them. At a certain point, someone told her that there would be a bright light ahead, reaching up to 4,000 watts and resembling a human face. Some people detested this light and chose to take another path, resulting in their demise.
Upon analysis, the light symbolized the woman's psychotherapist at the time. The therapist offered explanations about her inner self that she was reluctant to accept. However, she also recognized that rejecting this knowledge was detrimental to her mental well-being.
Lights also often symbolize vitality.
In one of Freud's dream examples, an elderly man dreamed of sleeping in bed with his wife when someone knocked on the door. He tried to turn on the light, but it wouldn't illuminate.
The unlit light symbolized his dwindling vitality. When we say someone's vitality is diminishing, don't we also say that their "light is fading"?
By the way, sometimes a light might just represent a light and not symbolize something else. As mentioned before, shoes might just represent shoes. When you find that using symbolism becomes far-fetched, it's better not to force it.
For example, a child became fixated on a pair of sneakers during the day, but his parents refused to buy them. At night, he dreamt of wearing those sneakers while playing basketball. This dream doesn't signify any thoughts about marriage but merely fulfills his desire to possess those shoes.
