Dreaming of the basement lights turning on - dream meaning with inherited lore

You press the switch in a pitch-dark basement, and the light comes on. Objects in the corners, the walls, and the stairs come into view, and your fear may ease.

Korean lore: Traditionally, light entering a dark place has sometimes been seen as a sign that something blocked may begin to open up, or that hidden circumstances may come to light. Light in a basement has also been interpreted as an opportunity to look at something that has been lingering in your heart. (In folk dream interpretations, light and fire have generally been read as symbols of insight, news, and recovering energy.)

Through the mind: A small clue or conversation may have emerged around something that made you anxious because you could not find the answer. Even if everything is not resolved yet, the feeling of knowing what to look at may have been reflected in the dream.
