Dream Interpretation
Dream Meaning of Wick
Ibn Sirin
The wick of a candle serves as a symbol for domestic servants such as stewards or butlers. When the wick is entirely consumed by fire, it signals the passing of one of these individuals. Should a spark land on cotton and ignite it, the dreamer may encounter moral failings or harm. Conversely, if the wick goes out, it suggests that a sick family member is nearing death or that news of a relative's demise is imminent.
Psychological view
This symbol reflects the underlying energy and vitality within the household structure. A burning wick indicates active service and presence, while its extinction points to a cessation of that vital force. The imagery of sparks and cotton highlights how external events can disrupt or consume the fabric of daily life. It suggests a period of transition where the stability of the home is tested by internal or external changes.
