Owen SterlingA candle burning shows the mind using a finite amount of inner strength to bring a specific matter into view. This process of a night of sorting uses the image of a flame to signal that clarity is being drawn from a resource that cannot be replenished indefinitely. The dream tracks the amount of internal force being applied to a current situation.
The expenditure of this energy provides a focus that allows for better understanding of what is hidden. A heavy side of this mechanism is the awareness that such intense concentration can lead to exhaustion. The dreamer finds that even a small amount of light remains sufficient to see the immediate path.
The dreamer brings a white candle into being to command a sudden brightness over what was hidden. This act of bringing this light into view suggests that a new clarity is being actively invited into the awareness.
A burning black candle shifts the meaning toward the weight of what is being lost, as the flame consumes a dark or heavy substance. This dream shows that the search for understanding happens while the mind navigates through deep grief or emptiness.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a candle
Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
