Wax Dream Interpretation: Insights from 13 Unique Sources

1- Dreaming of wax is a great deal to do with the pliability that we are able to achieve in our lives. We need to be able to be malleable, to be moulded, perhaps by external events. We should be prepared to give way, but also to be firm when necessary.

2- Wax can also to be taken to represent insincerity.
