The more literal choices would be Light Lass (though she was standing right there!), and Sun Boy, whose been abscent so much, it'd be a stretch to call him the 'anything' of the LSH.
Does Dream Girl mean light as in inspirational? As in Cosmic Boy? One of the other founders?
Does she mean light as in sunny disposition and morale boosting? Not sure who'd fill that bill in this crew.
Could it be that she's dreamed of another Legion's 'light'?

My first thought was that she was talking about Rond Vidar. My second thought was Sun Boy, and my third was that she was just talking about the Legion in general facing hard times.

Me, too. It's obvious from the context that she "sensed" the Legion about to face their greatest challenge-- and the Legion not making it out of it intact.

I bet she's referring to Sun Boy. He's being all pouty and burnt out and I've lost my passion, wah wah wah. Sounds like a set up for him being the next sacrificial lamb to me. The Legion has a long history of Legionnaires having a personal crisis and feelings of low self worth right before they prove themselves, while getting the axe.
I'm betting he somehow regains his powers and self-confidence just in time to go down in a blaze of glory, sacrificing himself for the good of all.

Sun Boy? Could be... but I'm still sure that comment about the Legion's light going out refered to the Superboy-Prime/Legion(s) war.
And, yes, I think they're foreshadding too. I mean, could they possibly less subtle? "...the light of the Legion was going to die"??
Like I wasn't exited enough about this serie enough?

Light Lass's "light" is an adjective, not a noun. It takes a noun to die, or burn out or fade out or whatever. Adjectives don't do anything but describe nouns.
If it's not Sun Boy, then I think it's a symbolic light. i.e., the Legion is headed for dark days. It could refer to the UP disavowing the Legion. Heck it coul refer to the Legion's latest cancellation/reboot.

The 'Green Lantern light' maybe? i.e. Rond. That's what I thought anyway.
I doubt it'll be Dirk though. Geoff's said that he's one of his faves and he'll be getting some spotlight soon.
