The candle is the small light in the darkness: hope, faith, prayer and the soul. Its flame shows the state of your inner light.
When the dream feels light
A steady candle promises hope, protection and spiritual clarity.
When the dream feels dark
A candle that goes out points to discouragement, a hope that fades or the end of a phase.
Ask yourself
What keeps my inner light burning?

The card of this dream
The Hermit. A lantern carried alone into the dark, wisdom found in solitude. The Hermit stands alone on a snowy peak, holding up a lantern in which a star shines. He is solitude, introspection and wisdom found within: withdraw from noise, seek the truth, become your own light.
