The ability to shed light on a situation, to enlighten or be enlightened with information. Can also represent an idea or solution you are currently grappling with.

If the light bulbs are broken, missing or keep turning off, you may be having trouble formulating an idea or you may be struggling with depression.

This is a message from your inner self that you need to put a stop to some behavior or issue OR something needs to be put on hold for a brief time so you can gather yourself and allow issues that are crossing you to pass.

Most often school dreams are connected to a particular issue at your job or in your career because school is your first job and where you learn the dynamics of the work force: being on time, being prepared (having done your home work), being tested and judged, wanting to succeed and move on up to the next level.

Compare the stress in your dream to what is going on in your job or career and you are likely going to be able to make the connection. For example, dreaming you have to take an entire year or even a semester all over again even though you know you already graduated may mean that somewhere in your job or career you having to prove yourself all over again even though you know you’ve got what it takes.

It can also mean that it’s time to learn a lesson or educate yourself on certain matters. You may be feeling tested or that you need to pass a particular situation with flying colors. Do you have a fear of failure? If searching for a class you are directionless in some area of your life. If you are late for class you are afraid of missing an opportunity or are feeling unprepared.

Is there any new information you recently found out that you may need to pay more attention to? Is there a “newsflash” you need to make someone else aware of? If the newspaper is hard to read then there may be some information in waking life you are having a hard time getting and your dream is telling you to keep focusing on this issue.

If someone is watching you in a dream then you need to ask yourself how you are being judged or scrutinized in waking life. What or who is making you paranoid or insecure in waking life?

If you are watching something, how do you feel about what you are seeing? Does it remind you of what has happened in your life or around you recently?

A union of qualities or opinions. Pick three words that describe your dream lover. Apply those words to yourself, to your life. Would you or your life improve if you took on one of those qualities or opinions? Sex in a dream is not always about a physical union you want but rather a psychological union you need. To have sex with someone of the same gender (if you are not gay) means you have probably done something recently that makes you proud of your gender. For example, pregnant women tend to get girl-on-girl dreams because there is nothing more feminine than creating life. Men can get a guy-on-guy dream when they land a hot date or get a promotion.

Forced sex means someone in real life is either trying to take advantage of you, forcing their thoughts and opinions on you or is screwing you over in some way.

Light usually represents knowledge or your ability to lighten up and not be so dark and heavy. If the lights are off in the dream then there may be something in real life you are “in the dark” about, some sort of uncertainty you are trying to figure out. Your dream may be telling you that you need to shed light on this situation. Dim lighting in a dream can point to depression in real life.
