Dream of a candle floating on water - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may show you holding on to a feeling or goal you do not want to lose, even as your emotions rise and fall.
A small candle floats on calm or rippling water. You watch carefully, worried the flame might go out, and feel the movement of the waves.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a flame that stays lit on water has sometimes been interpreted as a purpose or energy continuing through difficult circumstances. If the waves were rough, it may also be seen as a time when your emotions are unsettled. (This is a scene that folk dream readings have traditionally interpreted by reading water as emotion and flow, and light as will and prayer.)
Through the mind: There may be a relationship or goal you want to protect even in an emotionally unstable situation. The sight of water and fire together can reflect different feelings moving at the same time.
