Dreaming of counting candles - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may be connected to wanting to sort through things you need to do or wishes in your heart, one by one.
You count the candles before you one by one with your finger. You may count again to check the number, or grow anxious when the count keeps changing.
Korean lore: Traditionally, counting candles has sometimes been interpreted as a way of gauging wishes or one’s energy. Rather than treating the number itself as an answer about the future, it can also be seen as a dream about sorting through many wishes. (This interpretation comes from the folk-dream tradition of reading lights and candles as symbols of prayers and devotion.)
Through the mind: You may have been reflecting on a wish to set priorities because there have been many things to do or choices to make lately. Tension about not missing even small changes may have appeared along with it.
