Candles are often perceived as romantic and mysterious objects used to bestow a mystic like atmosphere. This is only achieved when the candles are lit and giving off a fiery glow. Thus, if you envision an unlit candle in your dreams, this insinuates a feeling of puzzlement and frustration. You feel like you are being isolated and left out from knowing about salient matters in your life. You yearn for enlightenment and the ability to comprehend what went wrong.
An unlit candle in your dreams may allude to the notion that your potential to become great is still hidden. Only when you are ready, the candle will be lit and at that time, you will unmask the magnanimous potential in you.
