Dreaming of a cake candle going out - dream meaning with inherited lore

You light a cake candle with a lighter, but it goes out almost at once. You try again, but the flame flickers in the breeze or with movement nearby, and you look to see how the people beside you react.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a candle going out has sometimes been read as a moment when hope or motivation dims. Rather than drawing conclusions about a real relationship or how things will turn out from one dream, you can look at where that moment of disappointment came from. (This draws on folk interpretations that read a flame’s brightness and fading as the ebb and flow of energy.)

Through the mind: Even in a moment of celebration or recognition, you may be worried you won’t live up to expectations. It may help to consider whether you’ve been setting the bar too high for yourself lately.
