Dream of a shadow appearing in candlelight - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has also been seen as a scene of looking back at feelings kept hidden under a small light or at something not yet revealed.
The candle is lit, but a large shadow of a person or object appears on the wall or floor. You may quietly watch its shape or feel that it is larger than it really is.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a shadow revealed by light has sometimes been interpreted as a concern lingering in your heart or a hidden circumstance. Since light and darkness appear together, it can also be seen as a dream to consider without reducing it to a single emotion. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition of reading light and shadows as symbols that illuminate both what is visible and what remains in the heart.)
Through the mind: You may look fine on the outside while still carrying a lingering worry or an emotion you haven't been able to express. Scenes like this can also appear when someone's words or your own appearance has recently bothered you more than usual.
