Candles.

To see them burning with a clear and steady flame, denotes the constancy of those about you and a well-grounded fortune.

For a maiden to dream that she is molding candles, denotes that she will have an unexpected offer of marriage and a pleasant visit to distant relatives. If she is lighting a candle, she will meet her lover clandestinely because of parental objections.

To see a candle wasting in a draught, enemies are circulating detrimental reports about you.

To snuff a candle, portends sorrowful news. Friends are dead or in distressful straits.
