Candle
Hope, spirituality, illumination
Death (Others)
Change in relationship, projection, fear
Candle
Candles represent hope, spiritual light, and the fragile nature of illumination in darkness. A single candle in darkness suggests hope persisting against overwhelming odds. A candle being extinguished may indicate losing hope or spiritual direction. Many candles together suggest communal hope or celebration. The flame of a candle represents the individual soul or consciousness. Birthday candles connect to wishes and aging.
Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
