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.
Eyes
Eyes in dreams represent perception, understanding, and the ability to 'see' truth. Losing sight may indicate denial or unwillingness to see something.
