Alright, I tried it again last night.
A bit different-
This time I only used one, but I put it on my nightstand so it was about one foot away from me.

The length of the dream was much shorter, but still, the visual was the same!
I don't know how the candles do it, either by the smell or the flicker, but I really believe that I can see so much more clear-
And I ALMOST got Lucid. It's actually pretty goddamn stupid how dumb I was in the dream:
"Hey! It's not Christmas yet! I must be dreami-what's that?"
