Dreaming of all the candles at a wake going out - dream meaning with inherited lore

The lights that were brightening the wake going out may connect with feeling worn down by grief or with a familiar way of saying goodbye starting to feel uncertain.

The candles at the wake go out one by one or all at once, leaving the room dark. You may try to relight them or stand still, feeling uneasy.

Korean lore: There’s no clear traditional reading of a candle going out at a funeral, so such interpretations are best treated with care. A funeral’s lights can evoke grief and remembrance. (Folk readings offer no consistent interpretation of a candle going out, so the scene’s symbolism and feelings are best considered.)

Through the mind: It may reflect feeling weighed down by remembering or caring for someone, or as if you’ve temporarily lost a place to rest your heart. You might gently check in with yourself to see whether your energy has been low lately.
