#12 Dreams About House Fire : Meaning & Interpretation

Fire in a dream is usually a symbol of cleansing or rejuvenation and it could also be a symbol of war, aggression or great transformation.

In your dream, when you start a fire in your home for cooking or for keeping warm, that could be a good sign but when you dream of an out-of-control fire in your home or in another home, then that is definitely a negative sign.

A house or a home in most cases is a representation of family, so whatever you are dreaming could be closely related to your family, community or close family-like relationships. Why would you dream of a house fire?

Reasons for house fire dreams

There are various reasons why you would have this dream.

1. Great changes coming

You could be having a house fire dream because there could be a great change concerning your family that is going to happen.

You could all be uncertain about those changes and aren’t sure whether they are the best thing for your family or the worst thing that could happen.

2. Tumultuous personal emotions

Having a dream about an uncontrollable house fire could also be an indication of the tumultuous state of your personal emotions.

3. Community issues

House fires could also be a sign of great issues affecting your community. The community could be facing political unrest, economic issues or a great change courtesy of a government project which is clearly causing unrest among the people.
