How Fire Dream Symbol May Fit in Your Life

When you dream of fire, it is important to realize that this particular symbol represents energy. As with electricity, electromagnetic waves, or other forms of energy, fire is powerful, and therefore can also be very dangerous. If the fire in your dream was used constructively and did not cause you, or others harm, then you can look forward to using your own energies wisely. That said, you should never simply assume that the power entering your life will simply guide itself into useful channels. As with fire in real life, you will need to remain vigilant in order to make sure that the pending opportunities are used for the highest good.

A Sample Fire Dream Interpretation

Consider a dream where you are camping with your spouse and children. After gathering wood and tinder, you start a merry camp fire. At that point, your spouse approaches the fire and begins making preparations for dinner. You take a few steps back, and then look in the distance to watch your children playing among the trees.

As the dream unfolds, you begin to notice that the fire needs more and more wood to maintain a steady temperature. Even though you are not frantic about gathering wood, you find yourself wishing that your children would stop playing and help you achieve your goal. Finally, you ask your spouse for help. Unfortunately, the assistance that you receive is still not enough to keep the fire going. Eventually, it burns out, leaving you feeling cold and miserable.

This particular dream is a clear indicator that you feel overwhelmed by the need to provide for others in the family. In this case, the wood may represent income, as well as the potential for adults to earn it. Since you find yourself wishing that your children would be of some help, you may need to start thinking about how you spend your money on them. This dream may also indicate that you are using money to take the place of affection and quality time with your family. Needless to say, this will cause you to "burn up" your resources without truly feeling happy about what you are doing. Even though the fire in this dream did not burn you, it is important to realize that it is still a disturbing omen based on activities and feelings surrounding the fire.
