　　Zhouyi

　　Lamps often represent guidance through wisdom and understanding. Because lamps are sources of light, they can illuminate one's direction.

　　A woman dreamt she was walking along a road, encountering many dangers along the way, but she overcame them all. At one point, someone told her there would be a light ahead, a light that shone with a whopping 4000 watts and resembled a human face. Some people would hate this light and take another road; these people would die.

　　Analysis revealed that the lamp symbolized her therapist at the time. The therapist offered some explanations about her inner world, which she was reluctant to accept. However, she also knew that disliking this knowledge would be detrimental to her mental health.

　　Lamps often symbolize vitality.

　　One example of a dream from Freud: An elderly man dreamed that he and his wife were sleeping in bed when someone knocked on the door. He tried to turn on the light, but the light wouldn't turn on.

　　A lamp that doesn't light symbolizes that his vitality is nearing its end. When we say someone's vitality is exhausted, don't we also say "the lamp has run out of oil"?

　　Just a reminder: a lamp might simply represent a lamp, not something else. Similarly, the shoes mentioned earlier might just represent shoes. When you find a symbolic interpretation weak or forced, don't necessarily use symbolism. A child might see a pair of sneakers he likes during the day, but his parents won't buy them for him. That night, he dreams of wearing those shoes while playing sports. This doesn't necessarily mean he has any thoughts about marriage; it simply means he's fulfilling his desire to own those shoes through his dream.
