Dreaming of lighting a candle in the wind - dream meaning with inherited lore
This may reflect the feeling that circumstances or others’ reactions keep getting in the way of something you’re trying hard to begin.
You try to light a candle, but the wind keeps blowing out the match or lighter. Even when you shield it with your hand, the flame won’t catch.
Korean lore: Traditional interpretations sometimes see a failed attempt to light a fire as a wish held back by circumstances or conditions. Still, folk interpretations of details like this aren’t fixed, so the frustration you felt at the time may matter more. (This interpretation draws on folk traditions that read firelight in relation to the wind or surroundings.)
Through the mind: You may want to start something, but feel that schedules or the reactions of people around you aren’t going your way. Trying again and again may reflect a wish not to give up.
