Thanks for sharing, Lila! A cake can be symbolic of an important event and also something special occurring. Where candles can refer to hope and possiblity, being positive and good luck.
Last night I had a scene from a dream come up, that stood out. I was joining a team who were training, possibly relating to special forces or elite soldiers. I was not exactly joining them, just observing, but ended up taking part. I got to a point where we were indoors and there was an enclosed water slide (tunnel), but with a whole lot of water nearing the top, leaving not much breathing room. I knew at the end there was a long drop into deep water so you not only had to hold your breath or breathe above that water in the slide, but also when it dropped.
I decided not to do it. Usually I overcome fears in my dreams whatever they are, so it was unusual for me to back down.
I have issues around water in situations like that, so I know it's about fears. I think I have a good idea what it's relating to back in the real world, but's that my contribution to the thread!
