  • You light a fire: pleasant surprises and visits to distant friends

  • Your own home or business is burning: a loving household and booming business
  • You see the ruins after a fire: bad luck, but unexpected good fortune will lift you again

  • You fight a fire without being burned: plenty of work and worry
  • You are burned, or fire falls from the sky: serious danger and enemies who will harm you

How you felt
