transformation, trial by fire
I was in my friend's house (some random house, none that I know of theirs) on the top floor, which was a bedroom/living area I think... and my girl friend was complaining about how she couldn't get to the bottom floor easily enough, as there was only this small crawl space you had to go through to get down there through the house and it was dirty or too small or something. I remember looking at it too & feeling really scared of it, like claustrophobic at even the thought of trying to go through it to get to the bottom floor. She said her boyfriend (now husband actually) went that way but she didn't like it, so she chose to take the long way of putting on shoes, going outside & then down into the bottom part of the house.I followed her downstairs initially to see it, but as we approached the kitchen doors, we realized it was on fire! (thus also making it clear how bad it was that the downstairs & upstairs were so disjointed, as without my being there she would have had no easy way to communicate this to her bf). So she told me to run upstairs & tell him & I did, immediately beginning to help him gather up as much of their personal belongings as possible.
I remember immediately asking where their photo albums were, and we tried to start packing up some clothes and stuff, but it got confusing since I didn't know what was important for them to keep. Plus, our thoughts were scattered worrying about my friend & his gf on the bottom floor, not knowing what was happening with her or the fire....not having any sense as to how big the fire was and if either it was out already and/or if the floor was going to start falling away from the flames. It was scary!
All I remember in the end was hearing sirens come, and feeling happy that help had finally arrived. Also the biggest feeling near the end was being afraid the floor was going to fall out from under me. eep!
Dreams are interesting, and this one probably has something to do with subconscious and conscious thoughts around relationships & communication... and feeling a need to save people? or being scared of digging deeper? hmm... haha. I'm definitely working on a lot of stuff within myself lately, so it makes sense. Wild!
Ooh, here's a interpretation on dreams about fire:
Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolizes destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive and motivation.
To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation.
Sho nuff! I'm working on it! :)
