Wax Taper
A wax taper — a slender candle lit by hand — often touches a pleasing occurrence reuniting you with long-absent friends, but disappointment and sickness if you blow them out. The dream may ask where a small, deliberate light is being kindled, and whether you're lighting your way toward a glad reunion or snuffing out the chance of it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wax taper, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of lighting wax tapers, denotes that some pleasing occurrence will bring you into association with friends long absent.
To blow them out, signals disappointing times, and sickness will forestall expected opportunities of meeting distinguished friends.
