Fire
Passion, or what consumes
What it often means
Fire in dreams holds a double meaning: passion and consumption. Whichever feeling rose first when you noticed it — that is the truer meaning for you. Contained fire often signals creative aliveness; uncontrolled fire suggests something burning longer than is sustainable.
When it tends to appear
- When passion or anger is asking for an outlet
- When something needs to be cleared by transformation
- When you have been depleting yourself in pursuit of intensity
Sit with these questions
- 1
Did the fire feel warming or destructive?
- 2
What is burning in you that wants to be tended, not extinguished?
- 3
What might this fire clear to make space for?
