Dreaming of Something Burning
burning, blaze, flames · mixed, depending on how fierce the fire is
A burning dream is about upheaval: depending on how fierce the fire is, it points to gain or loss, and warns of a danger that can still be dodged.
What happens in the dream
- Houses burning but not destroyed: you will grow richer, or your existing wealth will increase
- Burning in general: a sudden, close danger that you may still escape
- A raging fire that brings the houses down: losses, disappointment and shame
- You burn yourself: a clumsy enemy's spite will come to nothing
How you felt
- Alarm or urgency: the dream often mirrors a situation that feels out of control
- A strange thrill: it may reflect a wish to sweep everything away and start over
Ask yourself
- What in my life feels like it is catching fire right now?
- Does this upheaval frighten me, or does part of me welcome it?
