Candles have symbolic meanings in dreams. Lit candle: life; Unlit candle: death. Dreaming of lit candles with a firm and bright flame signify emotional stability and strength of character and its also announcing success. Dreaming of candles with a smoky and movable flame symbolize an uncertain future and perhaps a disease that has already begun to manifest. Dreaming of lit candles whose wax trickles down, signifies closeness of hypocrites who intend to harm you. When the wick is falling to a side and the wax or paraffin is melting, then it announces the death of someone close. If a young person dreams of himself or herself lighting a candle, then it is a symbol of marriage, or at least of looking for someone to share his or her life with.
