Fire

Fire is the result of destructive power of flames, which have rich symbolism both in culture and in dreams. Provided this element is used to warm the room or illuminate the dark, it is positive. However, the flames "devouring" the house, the forest or the man are terrifying. It is even more astonishing that the dream about fire can also have a positive meaning.

According to the Old Polish dream book, fire promises honor, and the bright flames are the symbol of great joy. Smoke in turn is a harbinger of good news. In this entry, only a dream about a large amount of smoke has negative connotations, and bodes disturbed joy.

Depending on life events, fire is the indication of a great outburst of passion or anger. This is why fire may appear in case of lively emotional life, romance or erotic adventure as well as violent conflict.
