Phoenix
Rebirth from ashes
What it often means
Phoenixes in dreams symbolise the necessity and dignity of being reborn through fire. They appear when something old has had to be released so something new could rise.
When it tends to appear
- After significant endings or losses
- During major personal rebirths
- When you suspect you are stronger than the loss suggested
