What's in a Candle?

I woke up feeling bad this morning.  My stomach has been turning and gurgling since around 2 AM.  I decided to call in to work.  I spent pretty much all morning in bed hoping not to puke.  

Around midmorning, I decided to get up and attempt to feel better.  I made myself some stomach ease tea and toast and set myself up at my altar.  I lit my candles and pulled a health and healing Oracle card.  Then, decided to make and light a small health candle in  an attempt to let this pass swiftly.

All the while, I had music playing, as I so often do.  Music helps me clear out any unnecessary thoughts while I'm in my safe space.  I found this new (to me) artist, Lila, and downloaded her instrumental album--if you don't know it find it!

Anyway, one of her songs came on, and it made me sit still and close my eyes, almost like in meditation.  Well, something drew me to open my eyes only slightly--the flame of my candle.  It's hard to describe all the things I saw, but I'll try for a few....

First off, lines and dots--almost like if I were seeing something under a microscope.  Then I saw a few faces here and there--no one I recognized.  Then I saw a scary face that made me jump out of it.  I've never experienced something like this before, so it startled me.  I cleared my thoughts and calmed myself down again and had to try again.  This time I saw people dancing.  I saw first a couple dancing, then a circle dancing.  I saw a few other little things, but I honestly can't remember them all.  

Can anyone help me explain?  I know people see things within flames all of the time.  However, it's totally new to me.  This was a candle for healing, yet what I saw was first scary then beautiful...
