Interpretation in dream books
Freud's Dream Book
Fire is one of the symbols of the genitals, so the dreamed flame is directly related to the dreamer’s intimate life. The interpretation of such a dream by a psychoanalyst relates mainly to the sexual sphere.
- Watching a burning fire in a dream means experiencing a strong desire for sexual intimacy in reality or being dissatisfied with the events occurring in the dreamer’s intimate life;
- Lighting a fire yourself in a dream means being at the peak of sexual attractiveness in reality;
- To be afraid of a blazing flame is to experience fear of intimacy in reality/
Seeing the consequences of a fire in a dream means that the relationship with the current partner has reached a dead end, and it no longer makes sense to continue it.
Vanga's Dream Book
According to the seer, fire in a dream is rarely a harbinger of favorable events in reality. A dreamed flame warns of a danger that will soon loom over a person in real life. Most often, this could be a fire in your own home or problems with the home of your closest relatives, especially if the source of the fire in the dream was a fireplace or stove.
If the sleeper not only sees the fire, but also feels the suffocating smell of smoke coming from it, then in reality he risks becoming the object of numerous gossip and feeling the negative consequences of the intrigues being woven against him.
Vanga considers a dream in which the sleeper was warming himself by the fire to be a good sign. Such a plot foreshadows the dreamer’s appearance of devoted friends who will always be his support and support in difficult situations.
Miller's Dream Book
A dream about fire is a harbinger of financial stability and material well-being, if the flame does not harm the dreamer.
A fire in the home promises the sleeper the acquisition of strong friendships and strengthening of family ties. The larger and brighter the fire seen in the dream, the greater success will soon await a creative or business person in reality.
A dream in which the sleeper lights a fire on his own foreshadows pleasant surprises and a series of exciting trips.
Loff's Dream Book
Since fire has been considered a symbol of purification from time immemorial, those who see it in a dream should rethink their actions towards themselves and those around them in reality.
Loff interprets the raging fire as a reflection of the negative emotions that overwhelm the dreamer in real life. A dream in which fire spread to some thing belonging to the sleeper means that in reality he is too attached to this object and is afraid of losing it. Fear of a flame that flared up in a dream and the desire to run away from it symbolize attempts to escape from accumulated problems in reality. A frequently recurring dream like this is a signal from the subconscious that in reality the dreamer should gather his thoughts and resolve all the current situations that are oppressive to him.
Tsvetkov's Dream Interpretation
A dreamed fire that causes fear or negative emotions in the sleeper is a reflection of his unfulfilled hopes, illusory dreams and disappointments in his personal life. A cozy and warming fire in a stove or fireplace foretells prosperity for the dreamer, and the more comfortable a person felt while being near a source in a dream, the more significant material benefits he will be able to provide for himself in the future.
General meaning of sleep
Hot-tempered and unbalanced people, accustomed to starting a scandal for any reason, see in their dreams a reflection of their spiritual mood with fire and sparks. If there is also smoke coming from the fire, serious discord in the family is possible. When a favorite car, outfit or jewelry begins to glow in a dream, the dreamer values them excessively.
A fire in a dream can burn too brightly, and then subsequent events depend entirely on the dreamer’s feelings when looking at it. Fear and uncertainty promise impossible dreams, while joy and surprise promise unexpected success.
A person trying to keep a barely flickering light in a dream is most likely in a difficult situation. If the flame flares up, he will be lucky and forget about his problems.
Where did the fire seen in the dream burn?
The nature of the predicted events in reality, their positive or negative outcome, depends on such details of the dream as the source or place where the dreamed flame blazed.
A dream in which a fire was burning in the sleeper’s house foreshadows a surge of vitality and energy if an even and calm flame crackled comfortably in the open hearth. But an uncontrolled and scorching fire that gradually engulfs all things in the house is a bad sign that promises conflicts and numerous quarrels with household members and close relatives. In addition, such a dream warns the sleeper against thoughtless spending. Seeing a fire flaring up in a stranger’s house means good luck in business and great luck in reality.
Nevertheless, the dream in which the dreamer observed a blazing flame in an apartment is interpreted somewhat differently, although it also depends on whether this apartment was his or someone else’s. In the first case, the dream foreshadows the receipt of a well-deserved reward: the sleeper’s merits will finally be appreciated by his superiors or a person important to him. The second version of the dream plot promises serious trials for the owners of the apartment in which the fire was burning. In the near future, they may face losses, loss of a source of stable income, or loss of mutual understanding within the family.
A fire blazing in a stove is a favorable sign, foreshadowing the dreamer’s finding harmony with himself and the world around him and the long-awaited end to quarrels and conflicts with family members. If the fire in the stove flared up on wood, then the most pleasant changes await the sleeper in the near future. The image warns that the right time is coming to start a new life and liberation from everything that interferes with a person’s development and movement forward. The dream also promises establishing contacts with people pleasant to the dreamer and often spending time with them in his house.
Seeing a fire flaring up on the street means in reality taking on part of someone’s problems; if the street was crowded, then in his zeal to take an active part in the lives of those around him, the dreamer risks becoming a victim of manipulation. A dream in which a flame was blazing in the sleeping person’s yard hints that money is currently coming into his life from the wrong or unreliable source, and such earnings may indirectly cause trouble in the future.
Fire in the sky is usually dreamed of by people who do not accept their subordinate position or are dissatisfied with the orders and unfair treatment of their superiors. Fire falling from the sky is a harbinger of quarrels, disappointment in a loved one and separation from him, and sometimes his serious illness. Anyone who sees burning sparks or coals falling from the sky in a dream will soon experience the wrath of management, and if a person fails to contain the emotions caused by a stern reprimand, he risks losing his job.
General value
The interpretation of the vision of the fire element largely depends on the internal sensations experienced by the dreamer in a dream. Watching the flames with a feeling of pleasure and pleasure means a happy and prosperous life. The brighter and hotter the flame, the more successful your life.
Smoke over the flame foreshadows some clouding of happiness: something will prevent you from enjoying well-being. If a fire blazes on a body of water, this promises a long, comfortable life for the dreamer.
The interpretation of the dream changes depending on the nuances of the situation:
- where the fire burns;
- light a fire;
- extinguish the flame;
- what exactly burns in the fire.
If you see a flame burning clothes , financial troubles or a quarrel with loved ones will soon await you.
Seeing a fire in the stove/fireplace is a sign of a pleasant guest. Warm yourself by the fire - have the support of family and friends. Seeing a dying fire means your well-being will not last long.
Seeing a flame explosion means enemies can cause you significant harm, be careful. Jumping over a fire means victory over troubles.
Small lights in a dream symbolize the dreamer's friends.
Type of flame and its combination with other dream details
For the correct interpretation of a dream about fire, it is no less important in what form the dreamed flame was realized.
- One of the common dream options is fire without smoke - an image that symbolizes the validity of the rumors that circulate about the sleeper. Perhaps, through his unseemly actions, he gave reasons for others to have a bad opinion of him.
- A flame from which thick smoke rises portends incredible confusion in affairs for the sleeper, which can lead to failure if hasty, rash decisions are made. Choking black smoke without fire warns of danger in reality, which will cause health problems.
- A fire in a dream promises dramatic changes, mostly for the better, and also symbolizes passion, the desire for intimacy, a huge supply of energy, a thirst for fresh impressions and vivid emotions. For business people, such a dream foretells dizzying success, for creative people - universal recognition.
- Dreaming of the consequences of a fire in the form of a burned-out building or a decayed house is also a good sign, a harbinger of positive changes in almost all areas of the dreamer’s life that are significant to him.
- A dream in which an explosion occurred represents the sleeper’s dissatisfaction with the actions of the people around him. Being thrown by a blast wave or interacting with an explosion in some other way means in reality trusting those who do not deserve it.
- The combination in a dream of such mutually exclusive elements as fire and water symbolizes the internal conflict of the sleeper, the discrepancy between his ideas about life and the events that actually occur. But a dream in which a flame blazed on the surface of a reservoir foreshadows the dreamer many years of life and success in all endeavors.
- A blazing fire symbolizes harmony in relationships with a loved one, vivid love experiences, as well as support and understanding of loved ones and financial well-being. The dreamer will have interesting prospects that will contribute to his professional growth, but he will be able to avoid missing out on unique opportunities only through perseverance and patience.
If you saw a fire
A fire in a dream often becomes a harbinger of changes in your personal life.
For example, if you saw your neighbor’s house on fire and smoke pouring out of it, get ready for a serious conversation with your loved one. And a fire in your house indicates that soon your relationship with your partner will be closer to ideal.
- Putting out a fire with water is a sign of mistrust of a loved one.
- If the flame touches a person, it means a long trip together.
- An explosion of a gas boiler or stove means emotional distress.
- A fire in the hayloft means a passionate night.
- A store or warehouse is on fire - to groundless jealousy on your part.
As the dream book says, a fire that destroyed a field of wheat warns of possible betrayal. And if a forest or grove is on fire, be prepared to sort things out with your partner. An explosion at a gas station is a dream of sudden recognition. But if you saw him in the distance, then soon you will meet a rather interesting person.
We recommend: Why do you dream of a fire?
When in a dream you are trying to put out a fire, but you are unable to do it, in real life your rival will plot your intrigues. If smoke bothers you at the same time, then the chances are high that your loved one will still be taken away from you.
Playing with matches, which resulted in a fire, is a dream of a pleasant evening. And if in a dream you brought a burning match to the stove and it exploded, your loved one will delight you with a romantic gift.
Character of fire
Seeing a bright, shining fire in a dream is a good sign, foreshadowing the speedy achievement of your goal. Such a dream symbolizes the desire for emotional experiences and mutual love, which the dreamer will have a chance to find in the near future.
A giant flame that does not frighten the sleeper with its scale is a harbinger of a stable financial situation for many years; being fascinated by a huge pillar of fire in a dream predicts receiving amazing news in reality.
If a large fire caused fear in the dreamer, then he will soon experience severe anxiety.
A spontaneous uncontrolled fire represents human hyperactivity in real life and the negative consequences that such behavior often leads to.
A gas fire, for example, from a stove burner, dreams of a profitable partnership or a love affair with a very wealthy person.
A bright and powerful gas flame predicts an unforgettable love adventure, while a smoldering flame predicts the beginning of a relationship with a person with a scandalous reputation.

Actions of the sleeper in relation to the dreamed fire
A dream in which a person simply watched a burning flame without experiencing any emotions symbolizes his tendency to doubt and postpone making decisions in reality. Also, watching a fire for a long time in a dream warns of the danger of a fire in a house in reality.
If the sleeper independently lit a fire in a dream, then in reality he should expect pleasant surprises and long-awaited changes. To organize an arson is to decisively take your destiny into your own hands and put it in the right direction.
A dream in which the sleeper extinguished the fire foreshadows losses and deterioration of financial situation, provoked by his own impulsive actions and aggressive behavior. Also, extinguishing the fire means calming inner passions and reducing libido.
If a person dreams that he is burning in fire, then in reality he experiences the fear of death and perceives the events occurring in his life as dangerous and threatening. Experiencing pain at the same time means you will soon catch an illness accompanied by fever and increased body temperature.
Being engulfed in flames, but not feeling any discomfort, means spiritual cleansing and liberation from negative programs and attitudes.
A dream about a stranger engulfed in fire promises the sleeper a fateful acquaintance, which will quickly develop into a serious and happy relationship. Seeing a friend burning in a fire foreshadows a serious illness for this person; trying to save him means valuing your relationship with him in reality.
