Holding a Fire Extinguisher

Dear Marsha,

Here’s a second dream I had of fires.  I dreamed:

  • The whole family was in the backyard having fun. We started walking down the side yard on the east side of the house. I was in the back when I saw a small fire in the side yard that everyone else walked past. I found myself holding a fire extinguisher. I checked the pressure gauge and it read almost empty. As I put out the fire, I noticed that the extinguisher was barely putting any retardant out. Once the fire was out, I looked up and the whole sky was orange.

What is the meaning of this dream?

Dear KMan,

Let’s look at some of these symbols.

The whole family = dealing with a family issue

In the backyard = behind the scenes

Side yard = a side issue

Small fire = problem needing immediate attention

Everyone else walked past = no one else is noticing it

Fire extinguisher = ability to put out the (fire) problem issue

Sky = spiritual things

Orange = power

 

Looking at the dream with the symbols, it pretty much says:

  • Dealing with a family issue behind the scenes. A side issue had a problem that needed immediate attention. No one else is noticing the problem. I do and find a have the ability to solve the problem. I am concerned about the pressure and check into it and realize there is almost no pressure. I solve the problem even though I notice there is not a lot of effort put out.  Once the problem is solved, I realize spiritually I have power.

To paraphrase this, this interpretation might be saying:

  • You have an ability, with little effort, or pressure to solve problems/issues that others may not even see.

 

Wow. Good word Kman!
