L

Lake

A lake indicates that you have a deep spiritual reservoir for which you need to find an outlet. Water represents spirituality, and lakes develop where water flow is restricted. Spirituality is expression of your soul and in dreams is not connected with religion. Other symbols in the dream will tell you what spiritual aspect is being focused on. You are being asked to create an outlet for this in your life. A polluted lake is about pollutants in your blood stream. You need to discover what substance is triggering these dreams and cut it down or cut it out.

Lamb

A lamb indicates a timid nature with regard to the subject matter of the dream.

Lamp

A lamp indicates that you are psychic. You have the ability to shine light into aspects of yours and other people’s lives. Being psychic is the same as being intuitive.

Landing

A landing is a location you walk briefly through to get to where you are going. In dreams it symbolizes transition – you are not yet where you need to be.

Late

Being late in a dream is a reminder that you are on the karmic path and have not developed yourself to the degree you agreed and had planned before being born. For example, have you developed your spiritual abilities or created an outlet for them in your life?

Lawn

A lawn symbolizes your blood and circulatory system. The connection is through the green color of the grass, as green is the color of your heart chakra.  A weedy or water logged lawn indicates problems with your lymph system when it comes to draining your bloodstream.

Lawyer

Lawyers give counsel in the legal profession and in dreams symbolize you have a counseling ability which you can use to help others.

Leader

To dream of a leader means you are a leader / spiritual teacher. Spiritual leader’s openly share what they know in order to empower others to deal with their own problems. If the leader in your dream is working with groups, it means you are to use your gift with groups.

Leak

Water leaking from the ceiling of a house or building is indicative of your body being dehydrated. This is common particularly if you were drinking alcohol the night before. An oil leak is a warning of anemia. Anemia is a shortage or red blood cells in the body. Steam leaking from a valve or steam pipe is a warning to take care of your high blood pressure.

Left

Left in dreams can symbolize your female side, emotions or the past. For example, if an angry woman is standing to your left you are asked to let go of the negative effects of your mother’s anger – leave it in the past (left).

Letter

Letters indicate that you are a medium / channel – you can communicate with spirits. Letters are messages from someone remote. As a channel you can pick up messages from someone remote.

Library

To dream of a library means you have a counseling ability. In this case the books represent a depth of knowledge or inner wisdom that you have. This depth of knowledge can be used to help others deepen their knowledge of themselves. You have this counseling ability regardless of whether you have had formal training. Note that many countries require you to have a formal qualification before practicing counseling officially under the counselor banner.

Lift

A lift can indicate a number of things. Due to its small space, lack of windows and claustrophobic atmosphere, it can indicate your womb or being in your mother’s womb. A descending lift indicates being in your mother’s womb and your birth by symbolizing your move down onto the planet. Here the movement down indicates movement from a higher vibration to the dense physical environment. In these dreams the people you meet in the lift or just after you exit it, usually indicate the reaction of your parents to your birth.  A descending lift can also symbolize movement of your centre of consciousness from your head (logic) to your heart. Here the dream is asking you to get in touch with your feelings – move down out of your head. An ascending lift indicates movement to the spirit world – movement to a higher vibration. This can sometimes mean that you are a channel but is also a request to activate your spiritual nature. An ascending lift can also symbolize activating your intellect. This is required when you become too emotional about the subject matter of the dream or need to overcome an irrational fear. An ascending and descending lift indicates you are a channel – you can communicate with spirits. The lift shows that you have the ability to move between the physical and spirit worlds. In the dream you are symbolically raising your vibration to the spirit world and lowering it again to return. In these dreams you will often find yourself delivering letters or other mail to people in a building.

Light

A light in a dream indicates that you have a psychic / intuitive gift. You have the ability to shine light into aspects of yours and other people’s lives. Turning on a light indicates you are doing something in waking life that is illuminating what you need to be doing now. Turning off a light is saying the opposite. You are avoiding the steps you need to take in reality. Lights off upstairs in a house indicate you are depressed or heading towards depression. The rest of the dream will explain what is triggering this. For example, if you see an old woman with her hair in a bun walking upstairs towards where the lights are off means that your depression is linked with issues around your mother (old woman), and how her conditioning restricts your thinking (hair tied up).

Light Switch

A light switch indicates that you have a psychic / intuitive gift and you are being asked to switch it on.
