A lighter is a device that produces a flame or lights a fire. Note what you are lighting on fire and how big the lighter is.

Positive: To see a lighter in a dream could represent that God is going to use you to spark new ideas or keep momentum alive. You may be someone who people can turn to get their passion back. This could also represent letting your light shine to the world and show the light of God.

Negative: Dreaming of a lighter could represent strife or a bad habit. It could represent having only a small, intermittent fire for God. If you dream
of trying to light a candle and the lighter is out of lighter fluid could represent that your fire for God has run out and you need to restore it.
