Blowing out candles marks a moment where the light that was held is suddenly surrendered. This dream shows a turning away from the things that once offered a clear path or a way to speak to the unseen.
When we cease to tend the flame, we often find ourselves standing in a silence that we have made with our own hands. This loss of direction can leave the household feeling the chill of a sudden shadow, for when the guidance is withdrawn, the connections between the living and the ancestors grow faint. There is a heaviness in the air when the ritual is broken, as if a door has been closed against the warmth of the spirit. Still, the elders say that even when the wick is dark, you, child, are learning the way of what must pass. May the dawn find your house well.
The dream of candles going out suggests a grief that settles over the heart like dust on an empty hearth. This arrives when the flame dies before its time, and the sudden dark leaves you searching for a hand that is no longer there.

Efua NyansaInterpreter interprets your dreams
Sit down first, child. The dream is not going anywhere. The elders used to say that a person is never read alone. Whoever stood beside you in the dream matters as much as what you saw, and the path behind you matters as much as the one ahead. Look, a dream with your people in it has already done half its work. May the name you were given keep you well.
