deceased mother in dad's dream

Hi,
My mother just passed away recently and my Dad just had a dream about her coming towards him in a hallway from a bright light.
She placed a little box of matches on a table near him and said, "For you" then she approached him. They embraced and both said "I love you" , she had one hand behind his neck and other hand on top of his head. Then he suddenly woke up, startled.. and he could swear that he actually felt her warmth still near him. Like if she was really there!

What baffles me is what does the box of matches mean? Does she want him to light candles perhaps?

To see or strike a match in your dream, suggests that there is something that you need to ignite and rekindle in your life.
To see a table in your dream, represents social unity and the potential for a meeting or gathering. It refers to your social and family connections.
