Dreaming of a Chimney
chimney, fireplace, flue, smokestack · mixed
Chimneys mostly signal unpleasant incidents and news of illness, but a good fire in the hearth promises much good.
What happens in the dream
- A fire burning in the chimney: much good is coming your way; a bright blaze, an inheritance
- Hiding in a chimney corner: distress, doubt and gloomy business; or, if you're single, a marriage soon
- Climbing down a chimney: an indiscretion that shocks those around you; climbing up: you'll escape a trap set for you
- A chimney overgrown with ivy: happiness that grows out of sorrow or loss
- Chimneys: a very unpleasant incident and hasty news of illness
- A tumbledown chimney: sorrow and possibly a death in the family
How you felt
- A need for warmth: the dream often mirrors a wish for a comforting home
- Overflow: it may reflect emotions looking for a way out
Ask yourself
- What is keeping my home warm right now?
- Which feeling needs a way out?
