A candle provides light, warmth, and atmosphere. It is unobtrusive and represents the most basic form of light. Dreaming of a candle could represent any of these feelings. Depending on the setting where the candle is located, it could represent religious feelings (as in candles in a church), spirituality, or the flame of life. Additionally, dreaming of a candle could indicate an area in your life in which you need more clarity. There may be an aspect of your waking life in which you feel that you are “in the dark” and do not have any clarity. The candle can serve as a point of light to help you find the next step.
