A dream of putting out a candle with your finger - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, directly handling a flame can be interpreted as trying to see something you’ve set your mind to through on your own.
You press the wick or flame with your fingertip to put out the candle. You watch to see if it goes out, even as you feel the heat or flinch.
Korean lore: Candles have traditionally been associated with prayer and devotion. Putting one out by hand has sometimes been read as pausing something you hoped for or choosing to bring it to a close yourself. (This interpretation draws on folk traditions that view candlelight as a symbol of prayer and devotion.)
Through the mind: This may reflect a situation where you have to decide whether to keep something going or stop. If your hand felt hot, you may also be feeling tense about making that decision.
