Dreaming of fire or flames

Dreaming of fire is a very common dream; fire is a male principle connected to creation and psychic energy; it can show itself with a double face: on the one hand it is a source of heat, health, light, well-being, energy; on the other hand, when it flares up, it brings death, destruction and damnation

Fire has always been very important for man: the discovery of fire has been decisive for human evolution; it allowed the development from a primitive state to the birth of civilization.

Since ancient times, fire has been present in many myths and legends: for example, think of the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the gods to bring it to humanity, and who was then severely punished for this. This demonstrates how fire is connected to an idea of superior, higher spiritual knowledge and strength, to which man has had access only from a certain moment, with pain and sacrifice, and after having openly defied laws and taboos. .

Fire is an element connected to inner spirituality, faith and divinity, and this is also evident from the role it plays in many religious ceremonies and in the very language of sacred books.

Fire as a recurring dream

The are may also have a physical origin (for example, when you are hot, fever, inflammation)

Fire according to Jung
For Jung, fire represents the process of psychic renewal. Just as the alchemist uses fire to transform metal into gold, in the same way fire is a symbol of inner transformation: it purifies the waste of the past and gives light and spiritual truth. It is the eternal flame in the temple of the soul.

Dreaming of a beautiful live fire
Looking at a beautiful live fire with pleasure indicates enthusiasm, success. Generally, if the fire you see does not frighten you, if it appears under control and limited in a contained area, then it is a symbol of your inner psychic energy, the one that allows you to transform and evolve.

Fire in the fireplace
The fire in a fireplace is a closed fire, which unites the male and the female: it is a symbol of family and the harmony of the couple. Dreaming of the fire lit in the fireplace means contentment, warmth, comfort, happiness in the relationship with your partner. Dreaming of lighting the fire in the fireplace indicates that there is passion and desire in you; if you are single, maybe you will start a relationship. If, on the other hand, the fire in the fireplace is extinguished, it indicates lack of love, estrangement, disinterest, neglect.

• Crossing the fire unscathed: thanks to your determination, you will arrive at your goal, despite risks and difficulties.
