Dreaming of holding a torch in a cave - dream meaning with inherited lore

You hold a torch in a dark cave, shining it on the walls and floor. Only the places the light reaches come into view, and the surroundings shift with every step.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a light shining through darkness has sometimes been interpreted as a clue to an impasse or a way forward. Lighting up a cave can also suggest looking for possibilities that haven’t come to light yet. (In folk dream interpretation, light and finding your way can sometimes be read as clearing away uncertainty and noticing opportunities.)

Through the mind: You may be working through a problem step by step on your own, even though the answer isn’t clear yet. Carrying a torch may connect with wanting to look into things for yourself rather than wait for someone else to direct you.

Fortune angle: Traditionally, this may be interpreted as discovering a new possibility. It’s hard to say that it points to a specific financial gain or good fortune with money.
