Dreaming of Candles – Meaning and Symbolism

Candles are needed in every home, even now that we have lights and all sorts of technologies.

When the power goes off or if there is a certain damage then you need candles in your house or some kind of a battery to walk  around your house without wrecking everything on your way.

Candles are made in different shapes, sizes, colours and scents.

People who meditate and who are practising yoga are big fans of candles with different aromas, this is because candles make a certain environment calmer and different.

They have a calming effect on people so they are used in different areas, for example in spa centres.

You see people in movies,  or perhaps you have done it yourself, when they have a bath filled with water and petals and candles.

Without candles there is no charm, they bring something magical at that moment.

They lift your mood and relax your mind, body and soul.

Candles are also used in restaurants, especially and specifically for romantic partners.

Candles are considered as an act of romance and romantic gestures, of course you like it more when you are sitting with your lover in the dark with candles than somewhere where your every pimple is seen.

So candles are not unusual objects, mostly everyone has at least one candle in their home for emergencies or personal desires.

We see them occasionally, so it is not that strange if you dream about candles.

Candles are also used in different rituals for example talking with the dead or trying to summon a ghost.

Example for this is Bloody Mary or some other demons, ghosts where people are trying to summon them in front of the mirror in the dark but with candles.

This is not a proven method and it is not recommendable, you can only get a heart attack if one of the candles lights out.

As you can see, candles are sometimes scary and sometimes calming it all depends on the event and people.

So when we are talking about dreams about candles then it is pretty similar to the sentence above, sometimes dreaming about candles is calming and sometimes it may be scary or discomforting.

Candles can appear in different sizes, colours, shapes in your dreams and you may even dream about a certain aroma of the candles for example vanilla or rose aroma.

You can have dreams in which you are lighting up candles, perhaps you are buying candles, searching for candles, finding them, perhaps you are dreaming about an old candle or a new one.

There are different scenarios and they all have a unique meaning with a meaningful message from your subconscious.

Sometimes these dreams do not have a particular meaning , perhaps that day you were at the spa and you have been surrounded with candles, in that case it is completely normal for you to have a dream about them.

When you see something during the day, no matter how unimportant it may seem and you do not even have to remember seeing it but your mind marks that detail in your brain.

Candles are a symbol of truth, wisdom and improvement.

Sometimes dreaming about candles is a sign that you will be a better person and in a better place very soon.

Perhaps your efforts are paying off and you are likely to see the results of your hard work eventually.

Fire in your dream is a symbol of power and temperament, perhaps you could receive a warning sign from your subconscious if your flames are not in your control, in other words your actions and emotions.
