Lighter
To dream of a lighter represents feeling in control of whether you can start something on your own if you want. An interesting situation or problem you can easily start whenever you want. Feelings of never being desperate to start a situation or problem if you want to. Feelings of never being desperate to never have to like something or someone if you want to.
Negatively, dreaming of a lighter may represent the ability for a bad habit or something lethal to start a problem that could get out of control. Thinking too much about why you can do something bad easily. Feeling good for the rest of your life that you can easily do something bad to someone if you want. Control of something potentially reckless that you usually don't do anything reckless with.

Being professional or classy about being a jerk starting something on your own. A professional decision to start something where nobody else even begins to thinks of it as good as you do. Being a jerk in some manner where nobody else even wants to think of it as good as you do. Feeling more adult or more professional than everyone else about starting something. Jealous not nothing about making sure something is always working. Feelings about not noticing anything little because you don't have to.
