What Does It Mean to Dream About Fire?

Psychological meaning

Fire represents passion, anger, and transformation. It can be destructive (rage) or constructive (creativity/warmth).

Being burned: You are consumed by guilt, anger, or an intense desire. Starting a fire: You are initiating a change or expressing repressed anger. Controlled fire (fireplace): Contentment, warmth, and spiritual centering.

Spiritual meaning

The element of spirit and alchemy. Fire burns away the old to purify the new. It is the spark of divine inspiration.
