Did you recently have a dream about a candle? Are you trying to figure out the meaning of the candle dream? Dreams about candles point to spirituality. Moreover, colors indicate the type of direction one must take while in the spiritual world. Pay close attention to the way in which the candle reacts in your dream. Decode your candle dreams through interpreting the color and mood of the candle. 

The candle dream may represent your first and or second dream experience. Maybe the candle dream symbol is a recurring theme in your dreams. According to dream author Jenni Kosarin (2008), dreams about candles signify:

"Usually the appearance of candles indicates spirituality. A candle provides light in the dark, or guidance through dark matters or the unknown. If a candle burns down to nothingness, it might indicate a fear or concern about death or impotence. A candle being put out could indicate a feeling of being overworked. A steadily burning candle may signify a steadfast character and constancy in friends and family" (p. 197). 

In decoding a dream, interpreting the candle dream symbol enables a dreamer to delve into the mood of the candle. Try to remember how the candle reacted in your dream. Was the candle burning softly? Or was this candle burning vibrantly? What color is the candle? An orange candle is highly spiritual.

According to the online website Dream Moods (2011), the color orange represents:
"Orange denotes hope, friendliness, courtesy, generosity, liveliness, sociability, and an out-going nature. It also represents a stimulation of the senses. You feel alive! You may want to expand your horizons and look into new interests" (Orange Section, par. 1).

How can we decode an orange candle dream? An orange candle dream identifies a person who is spiritual. If this person is lacking a spiritual belief system, the candle is conveying that spirituality will guide them. The orange candle color indicates the spiritual values associated with the color orange. These are spiritual values that will guide a person on their spiritual journey. In order to accomplish waking dreams and goals, a person must have a strong mind and possess quality values.

It is quite possible that an orange candle is pointing you to spirituality. Therefore, the dream candle is a spiritual guide to show you how to overcome hardship. Every person who chases after a dream realizes that while on their journey they will be tested. The orange color identifies the value one must possess to become successful.

Think about what is going on in your life. Are you experiencing intense stress? Have you questioned your faith? Do you believe that God is listening to you? Are you afraid to die? Spiritual people accept death as a part of their existence. Thus, people who lack a spriritual belief system will develop fear of not knowing what happens after death. Such fears can manifest into negative emotions or hate.

In my opinion, an orange candle is a positive dream symbol. The mood of the candle is especially important. A calm orange candle may signify a need to reinvent yourself, possibly through practicing spirituality and or improving your belief system and mode of thinking.

If you're a negative person, you realize that allowing these poor character traits will likely represent a challenge that blocks your ability to deliver dreams to fruition. Negative people tend to blame others for their failures. They have to accept accountability for their actions, and then learn to improve on past mistakes to make better decisions the next time around.

Life is about learning from bad decisions and mistakes. Unfortunate events should not be viewed as bad luck. Through every bad mistake and learning lesson, a person will learn to become more wise. In result of wisdom, a person will make better decisions in the future. Apply the two dream resources above to decode your dreams.

You may never realize how successful you can become until you take the initiative to accept such challenges as a learning lesson. The next time you have a candle dream, pay close attention to the mood of the flame and the color of the candle. Dreams about candles and colors are recognizable dream symbols that can guide your spiritual journey.
