A match is the spark that starts a fire, so tradition reads it as a beginning, an idea or a passion waiting to catch. A spent match can stand for a brief chance that has passed.
Has this come up in your dreams before? What was going on in your life then?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
