I had a dream the other night that I was building a fire in a fireplace, yet I was doing it in a way that would make the fire too big and intense. It would have been in danger of getting out of control.
My sister mentioned that she likes to look up dream meanings at dreammoods.com, so I thought I’d see what interpretation that site gave me. Here it is:
Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, purification, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering into your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, then it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. The dream may be a metaphor for someone who is “fiery”. It represents your drive, motivation, and creative energy. Alternatively, the dream may be warning you of your dangerous or risky activities. You are literally “playing with fire”.
To dream of lighting or stirring a fireplace, suggests a burning a desire. You need to get to the heart of some matter or situation.
