Dreaming of fire

Fire is the great two-faced element: it cooks and it burns, it lights the hearth and it razes the house. In dreams it usually points to intensity — desire, anger, ambition, transformation. A candle warms; a wildfire warns.

The fire gods forge and purify; the phoenix burns only to rise. If fire moves through your dream, ask what in you is being kindled, and what may need to burn away before something new can be made.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
