A flashlight in a dream can symbolize protection, a guardian angel, or your inner self. If you are lost at night in your dream and there’s no light to guide you home. You might fear entering a pitch-black cave, but you must do so for your own safety. A flashlight would be the perfect tool to help you.
Some people feel they are being watched by someone carrying a flashlight: it may mean that they are in danger of gossip or scandal.
However, the flashlight can also represent the light at the end of the tunnel and is seen as an omen of good fortune. A flashlight in a dream signifies a glimmer of hope.
