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. 1

    Did the fire feel warming or destructive?

  2. 2

    What is burning in you that wants to be tended, not extinguished?

  3. 3

    What might this fire clear to make space for?
