The spiritual meaning of lights turning on by themselves. Wondering… the lights in my house are flickering. What does it mean?
Ever wondered what spiritual meaning is behind a light bulb exploding? Or, did you ever wonder if there even was any spiritual meaning behind lightbulbs exploding?
The light bulb is the symbolic representation of knowledge, enlightenment, and the pursuit of truth. When a light bulb bursts, it represents a sudden moment of clarity. It can also be a warning that you’re approaching too much information or knowledge—you may not be ready for what’s coming.
Spiritual Meaning Of A Light Bulb Exploding
Okay, so before we get into the symbolism of a light bulb exploding, we need to understand what electricity represents from a spiritual perspective. Electricity is current or energy that flows through our buildings to power our devices. This is very similar to the energy that flows through the universe and powers all life as we know it. So, electricity and energy are a symbol of having a connection to source and the greater universe.
Next, let’s think about the symbolism of a light bulb. One of the more common symbols of having an idea is a light bulb above the head. And, that’s a fantastic metaphor. Because having an idea is an example of receiving inspiration from out of nowhere, much like receiving messages from the spiritual realms. And, it’s just like a light bulb going off in the dark illuminating everything around it.
So, now that we know the meanings of both of these things – it’s time to put them together with an explosion! While a light bulb can explode for many different reasons, it can also be because there’s simply too much energy, or electricity, to be contained in the light bulb. Therefore, you may want to take caution when it comes to directing your energy in the proper channels. Don’t hold back, let your energy flow and express yourself. Alternatively, this could mean that your connection with the spiritual world will soon intensify. But, we’ll get into that more in the next section. Let’s keep going.
Light Bulb Suddenly Exploded
Have you ever heard that an exploding light bulb means that there’s evil spirits nearby? Even while doing my research on this topic, many sources say an exploding light bulb is a sign that deceased loved ones or ghosts are in the area. So, is it true? Is an exploding light bulb an omen that otherworldly entities are near?
Well, anything is possible – but probably not. Of course, it depends on your own spiritual beliefs and your unique situation, so take only what resonates. But, many believe that we are surrounded by deceased loved ones and other spirits constantly. And generally, there’s not really light bulbs exploding on a regular basis. Still, sometimes a light bulb exploding could be a message to pay more attention to the spiritual realms. Are you ignoring your spiritual practices lately?
For instance, maybe your great-grandmother passed away when you were very young, but recently you have been going through a similar situation that she went through in her life. Let’s say you’re thinking about her when the light bulb explodes. In this case, an exploding light bulb could be a message to pay more attention to her lessons in life. Or, simply just a message to let you know she’s nearby and helping you in your journey.
Sometimes light bulbs explode when there’s an influx of energy from the spiritual realm. In other words, it’s possible your house could have a lot of supernatural activity. But, this is rare. And, it’s important to pay attention to anything you may have done to cause it. Did you recently buy any strange furniture from the thrift store? Or, maybe you’ve started a new spiritual practice and unknowingly invited unwanted guests. Make sure to practice good spiritual hygiene and don’t buy items with bad vibes!
Is An Exploding Light Bulb Bad Luck?
Now, let’s move on to the million dollar question. Is it bad luck when a light bulb explodes? From a practical viewpoint – yes it could be. After all, you’ve got to clean up glass and may even have to deal with costly electrician visits or repairs. But, from a spiritual viewpoint – absolutely not. In fact, an exploding light bulb is a pretty positive omen.
So, the spiritual meaning of a light bulb exploding can represent ideas breaking through any barriers. Think about it, the glass of a light bulb holds in the electricity, or the creative spark of a vision on a metaphorical level. Glass from a spiritual level represents breaking through invisible barriers. In many cultures, breaking glass is considered extremely good luck. Some cultures even break glass at weddings to represent the individual souls breaking from their constraints to merge into a divine union. Make sure to check out our article on the spiritual meaning of broken glass for additional insight on this topic.
The same could be said for any ideas of your own when a light bulb explodes. The veil is shattering to allow the energy or inspiration to manifest in physical reality. This is a pretty good omen that your wishes may soon come true. So, you can rest easy that more than likely good luck is on the way to you.
Symbolism Of An Exploding Light Bulb
By now we’ve already covered a bit about the spiritual meaning of an exploding light bulb and why it may have happened. But, here’s a quick list of points you may want to consider when it comes to understanding the symbolism of an exploding light bulb from a spiritual viewpoint.
- Changes are coming. Light bulbs symbolize ideas and thoughts, so you can probably expect a change in perspective soon. After all, an exploding light bulb means old ideas and norms will soon be shattered.
- The energy around you may be chaotic. What causes an exploding light bulb in most cases? A rush in power! So you might be experiencing some fluctuations in the energy around you. Try to stay grounded and practice good spiritual boundaries. Be mindful of who and what you’re spending time and energy on.
- Expect the unexpected. There’s nothing more surprising than a light bulb exploding. So, you can possibly expect things you didn’t see coming to happen soon. Don’t worry, more than likely these will be positive changes since a light bulb breaking is thought to be a good omen.
- Follow your inner guidance. The light bulb also symbolizes inner wisdom, guidance, and intuition.

Any invisible barrier between you and your intuition will soon be shattered, much like the glass of the light bulb.
- Get those ideas out. Remember, since the light bulb represents ideas and it has exploded, make sure you’re getting your ideas out in the world. Find the right people to work with to set your ideas into motion. Now is the time to bring your dreams into reality.
Dream Meanings Of Exploding Light Bulbs
Have you had a dream of an exploding light bulb? As always, when it comes to fully understanding dream meanings, it’s important to pay attention to how you felt during the dream. For instance, a dream you were frightened during will have a different meaning than one you were mostly happy in.
In a dream, light bulbs usually symbolize wisdom, intellect, ideas, or guidance through dark times. So, an exploding light bulb represents a change in these areas. So, if you were delighted to see an exploding light bulb, you might expect a fantastic idea or exciting news to come into your waking life soon. On the other hand, if you felt a bit of anxiety or fear about an exploding light bulb, you may feel out of control of changes surrounding you. Remember, you’re not in control of things that happen to you or around you. But, you are in control of how you allow those things to impact you emotionally and mentally. Try not to worry about the little things in life. Let the bad stuff go and focus on the good.
Signs that your Ancestors are Communicating with You
The spiritual world is something that intrigues all of us. Just the thought of a spirit making contact with us, is both exciting and scary. Here are just some ways the spiritual world might just be trying to say hello. We didn’t simply make these up, experienced psychics who have played mediums between the living and the dead gave us a few pointers, as did people who claim they felt some kind of supernatural connection with loved ones who had recently passed away. A lot of people also believe that there are spiritual signs that death is near. However, this doesn’t mean this is scientific or proven facts. Choose what you want to believe.
1. Flickering and blowing out light-bulbs
Many people mock the idea of after death communication (ADC) whereby some people have profited by playing sham mediums while other people have shared life experiences that could put one’s hair on end. Psychics claim that ADC’s are subtle and not as harmful as they are depicted in horror movies. We can often confuse them with things we notice through our subconscious mind as we label them as tricks our brain plays with us.
Psychics believe that spirits have the ability to manipulate electricity, suggesting that flickering light-bulbs can be a sign indicating that spirits are present in your room. Some people have complained about lightbulbs blowing out despite being newly installed.
You might call this absolute bakwaas, but let me tell you, it has happened in my house where new light-bulbs have on several occasions gone out. Perhaps they were defective, my opinion on the subject remains neutral.
Sue Nicholson, a psychic medium and spiritual counselor, suggests directly contacting the being in your mind by asking the question, “who is this?”, a face and name will come to you.
2. Changes in room temperature
Sudden drops in warmth despite door and windows being closed also signify the presence of a supernatural being. It may be experienced by everyone in the room or a particular person that the spirit might be trying to make contact with.
It may be described as a cold chill through the body that can give us goosebumps when we unconsciously think of the presence of spiritual beings close by. This effect may also be stimulated by the brain, especially if your surroundings give you an eerie aura.
3. Sounds and music.
Hearing your name being called out in your head or simply hearing noises that are inaudible to everyone else is also claimed to be a sign that loved ones from the afterlife are trying to make contact.
Sometimes random songs may play in our head and again on T.V. If we realize that this song or music has something to do with a deceased person, it could just be their spirit saying hello
4. Clocks stopping
We notice a clock has stopped with the have been showing the same time for the past couple of minutes. If the time reminds you of a deceased person, perhaps the time they died, or the time you received the news of their demise, you are being visited.
5. Butterflies
The ancient Chinese believed that butterflies were symbolic of people who had left the realm of the living owing to the transformation from cocoons to their short lifespan of fluttering in the air.
The sight of butterflies or related motifs after the death of a person is a sign that the person has moved into the spirit world.
6. Faces of people who lived
Many of Sue’s clients reported that they saw people who looked like their relatives who had passed away a long time ago. Perhaps the people didn’t actually look like their relatives but their minds saw differently.
7. Shadows out of the corner of your eye
It’s happened to me, so I thought I would share my experience with you. I was browsing the internet one night when I subconsciously noticed a black object rise up towards the ceiling from the corner of my eye. It was like the shadow of a bird, but when I looked up and to my side, there was nothing.
I for one believe what the psychic had to say about this, but perhaps science has its own reasoning.
8. Touches
Ticklish and pressure type sensations can often be felt on the face and body. It could be stroking of hair, jabs on the sides and and unexplained pain on the foot. Psychics suggest asking the spirit of a loved one to touch you on, say the right side of your face, to make sure that it is them rather than any unwanted force.
9. Computers
Computers acting on their own, downloading documents, sending emails that you didn’t send yourself and the names of deceased relatives appearing on the screen might also be a sign of visiting spirits. A computer engineer would however blame a virus and ask you to upgrade your software.
10. Dreams and visions
They might be vivid and comforting or they might be horrifying and disturbing. However, they all carry a twisted message that does not make sense and is open to interpretation. Psychics suggest keeping a notepad by your bedside because most of these dreams end with us waking up almost immediately after it is over. And as human as we are, we forget about it.
If the dreams you see of loved ones are disturbing and upsetting, it is recommended that you turn to religion and prayer to seek solace.
Visions are different from dreams as we may see them when we are not asleep. They often stem from the deepest thoughts in our mind and can take shape in the form of whitish figures and reflections.
11. Telepathic thoughts
If you are hearing your voice in your head speaking words that are not your thoughts, you are probably hearing what a spirit is trying to tell you. It may be repeated several times for emphasis.
12. Scents
When I lived in South East Asia, I was often warned that a sudden burst of floral fragrances in unlikely places signifies the presence of a spirit. A friend of mine would always smell a floral scent in her car even though she did not have an air purifier.
It stopped only after she opened the doors of her car and aggressively demanded the spirit to leave.
13. Photographs
Wall and photos and table frames falling flat, becoming crooked or developing a certain form of mist or mold on the picture also signify a spiritual presence. However this is said to happen if the picture is of a deceased person.
Photographs that are clicked with a digital camera sometimes produce images with orb like structures. Psychics believe that these are not problems with the lens or focus but spirits captured on camera. They might be trying to highlight their presence to the photographer.
