Fire

So it has gone from spiritual to one level up, FIRE. Although mild but the dream caught the attention of this curious mind. So this time I dreamt about fire, and as mentioned, it wasn't like I was setting a building on fire nor was I caught in fire or line of fire. Instead, I was trying to start a fire for a campsite or something of the same situation. There were 3 of us and the fire had started, very small, weak, and required more dry wood and grass to keep it 'alive'. Not taking my eyes of the fire, I had called for the rest of the people around to grab twigs while I watched the fire. I also reached out to my surroundings to find anything that was nearby that could help keep the fire going. It got weaker and weaker by the moment and I felt that I have failed although it's just a fire, and surely there was someone who could do a better job than me to keep the fire alive. And that's when I thought it's obviously a message sent from the subconscious.

Interpretation about fire (from multiple sources):

• Its a symbol of destruction and can link to friendships or situations in our life which have been destroyed. Maybe it could link to someone you have ignored. (www.unclesirbobby.org.uk/dreamdictionaryfire.php)
• Carl Jung believed that the fire is reprensetative to our psychological transformation. The flame represents the light that is needed to guide us in life. Jung also thought that the fire signifies a bad temper or an argument between others. The dream of a fire is often a significant event which is related to an important event in your subconscious mind - either about security or passion. If you dream of small or weak fire then this dream indicates that you are going to have happiness in your life. (www.auntyflo.com/dream-dictionary/fire)
• Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolize destruction, passion, desire, illumination, purification, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. If you are setting a fire to something or even to yourself, then it indicates that you are undergoing some great distress. (www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/f.htm)

How I relate to the dream: Well as expected there are many interpretations of a dream and it is really up to you to relate it to current happenings in life. From my point of view, fire has always been a symbol of strength, especially for one who's born under the sign of fire. And not being able to keep the fire burning is a sign of weakness, distress, a sign that something isn't going well. There are only two things that I can think of that has made me feel a little off recently – 1. It's a friend thing, and 2. It's a school thing. My inability to keep the fire burning from (1) simply means I'm probably losing or feel like I'm losing a friend and I don't know what to do about it. Or maybe the fact that I feel helpless because I'm not able to do anything to make things a little like old times. As for (2), well I just started reviewing, like seriously reviewing materials for school stuffs and I could probably just be having the assignment jitters like I always do whenever I'm in doubt of things.

So I guess for now I’ll just have to try to hold on to as much as I can, for as long as I can. Here comes determination and not giving up easily.
