Starting a fire in a dream awakens a force that refuses to be settled. This energy is a sudden heat in the hearth that asks to be felt, pushing a still life toward a great intensity.
A storm brings a different weight when lightning causing a fire is what you see. This sudden strike is a flash of news or a judgment that arrives from the sky without your hand in the matter. You feel the shock of a force that is not yours to command.
The spark you carry is already within you, dear. I once watched a truth catch hold in my own life just like this. You find your footing even as the old stillness begins to burn away.
Setting a fire or causing a fire, whether it happens by accident or by your own hand, shows an unrestrained movement of the spirit. This kind of dream reveals a strength that spreads wildly, moving faster than you can manage it.
Lighting a fire or making fire shows you are tending to a new impulse with care. You are helping a small, bright thing catch hold so it can warm the room.
Trying to start a fire suggests a struggle to bring a hidden strength to the surface. You are working against a coldness that does not want to give way to the heat you know is there.
When someone else is starting a fire, the dream points to a strife that is brought into your house by another. You are watching a passion or a conflict that is being fed by a source outside of your own will.
For its more general meaning: Dream about fire
Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
