Firefly

Fireflies, Lightning bug, Glowworm

Little lights blinking on and off over a summer lawn have a way of making grown-ups feel like kids again. Fireflies in a dream often carry small moments of wonder, the brief bright spots that are easy to miss in a busy week. Their glow comes and goes, so they can stand for hope that flickers rather than shines steadily. Since they mark the start of warm summer nights, they may also bring the feeling that a good season is returning. Their light is cool and harmless, a reminder that brightness doesn't have to burn.
