Candlestick

A candlestick bearing a whole candle marks a bright future before us — health, happiness, and light. The dream tends to touch the steady holder of a flame, the readiness to give light, and to ask what we are keeping lit and upright, and whether the future it illuminates looks as warm as the old books promise.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for candlestick, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To see a candlestick bearing a whole candle, denotes that a bright future lies before you filled with health, happiness and loving companions. If empty, the reverse.
