Dreaming of lighting candles at a shamanic ritual - dream meaning with inherited lore

You light a candle in one corner of the ritual space and watch the flame burn quietly. You may light it yourself, or several candles may come alight one after another.

Korean lore: Traditionally, lighting candles during a ritual has sometimes been interpreted as clearing away darkness and strengthening a heartfelt wish. A steady flame may also be seen as a scene of finding your center. (In folk interpretations of rituals, fire and candlelight are sometimes read as symbols of brightness, cleansing, and illuminating one’s wishes.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a wish to sort out the small parts you can control, even amid complicated matters. If the candle felt comforting, it may feel like a sign that you need quiet time to recover.
