How sharp changes the reading
The base reading of Candle
A candle in a dream is the dictionary's image of a small light deliberately lit. The dream often appears in stretches of inner darkness — grief, doubt, a long uncertain phase — and the candle is the small, repeatable act of focus you keep returning to.
A candle going out in the dream is the dictionary's image of attention that has lapsed; a candle relit is the image of attention chosen again.
Where you often see it. A candle lit on a small table. A candle going out unexpectedly. The dream uses the candle for a small light, deliberately lit — quiet focus in a dark stretch.
What it is not. A candle is not weakness. The dictionary reads it as deliberately scaled attention.
Related in the dictionary. Read candle with fire (its larger family), light, darkness, and any scene of small focused illumination.
