Power outage
Blackout, Power cut, Lights going out
When the lights suddenly go out, the familiar world disappears and you have to find your way by touch and memory. In a dream, a blackout like this often comes when you feel drained, cut off or unsure which way to turn. It can also reflect a situation where the usual systems in your life, like routines or support, have stopped working for a moment. If you stayed calm in the dark, that's a sign of resilience. Lighting a candle or finding a flashlight says you know how to find hope when things go dim.
