Flying
Freedom, ambition, transcendence
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.
Flying
Flying dreams are among the most exhilarating and common dream experiences. They typically represent a desire for freedom, liberation from constraints, or rising above problems. Lucid dreamers often seek out the flying experience as a symbol of control over one's dream life. The ease of flying matters: effortless flight suggests confidence and control, while struggling to fly may indicate obstacles to your ambitions.
