Northern Lights – The Northern Lights are the beautiful display of lights visible in the sky in the far North, caused by solar flares and solar plasma hitting our atmosphere. The technical term for this is the Aurora Borealis (which translates as the Dawn of the North Wind), and close to the South Pole the same phenomena is called the Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights. As a dream symbol, the Northern Lights are a sign of guidance and beauty in adversity. They are also a mystical symbol with deep spiritual significance. If you dream of looking at the Northern Lights, this is a sign of spiritual awareness or awakening.
