Candle
Hope, spirituality, illumination
Driving
Control over life direction, agency
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.
Driving
Driving represents your sense of control over life's direction and the choices you're making. The conditions of driving matter immensely: driving on a clear road suggests confidence, driving in fog indicates uncertainty, losing control of the vehicle reflects real-life loss of control. Driving someone else's car may indicate living someone else's life or using borrowed resources. Back-seat driving represents wanting control without responsibility.
