dream a little dream of ...


my house on fire? Most of my dreams consist of flying or swimming with whales, but a few nights ago I had my first memorable dream of fire. It was a huge, hot, fire that engulfed our house and all of our possessions ... and Mark and I set it on purpose. We grabbed the most important things: our camera, our photo albums, and the bunnies, and the rest was completely destroyed. And we felt strangely liberated. I was confused when I woke up -- aren't fires supposed to be bad?

If dreams really are symbolic, then fire dreams signal "transformation, new beginnings arising from the ashes." Maybe not so bad after all.
