Burning dream meaning is explained below using 7 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Garuda

Vision: Seeing the top of a house, the roof, in flames (above you): a warning of impending danger. Walking toward a house where the roof is on fire: it is better to retreat in a present situation.

(Sometimes the dream also signals a sinus infection in the making). Seeing smoke coming from a chimney: your affairs are taking a turn for the better. Standing in front of a (brightly burning) fire: success.

Depth Psychology: Fire and water always symbolize emotional energy’. Fire is cleansing. Seeing bright flames means new ideas.
