A Dream of Lighting a Candle on a Dark Staircase - dream meaning with inherited lore

You light a candle on a dark staircase or in a hallway. The steps beneath you and the next one come into view little by little, while the areas beyond the light stay dark.

Korean lore: 어둠 속의 초불은 전통적으로 길을 찾거나 바라는 일을 비추는 장면으로 풀이해 온 경우가 있어요. 계단의 다음 칸을 비추는 모습도 한 단계씩 나아가려는 기운으로 보기도 해요. (민간 꿈풀이에서 등불과 촛불을 어둠을 밝히는 도움이나 소망의 상징으로 읽는 흐름이 있어요.)

Through the mind: 진로, 이직, 독립처럼 다음 단계가 선명하지 않은 일을 앞두고 있을 수 있어요. 모든 길이 한 번에 보이기보다 지금 밟을 한 칸만 확인하고 싶은 마음이 담겼을 수 있어요.
