What does lantern mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, the lantern is closely related to the dream image of Lamp — a source of artificial light. A lantern lights the way in the dark, but its light is limited and man-made. The image points to an attempt to navigate an unclear situation by artificial means — other people's advice, rational schemes, ready-made ideas — instead of one's own natural sense of direction.
