What does it mean when you dream of someones house burning down?

Answer 1

The meaning of the dream depends very much on whether it is the dreamer's house, or somebody else's house, that is burning. Such a dream is unlikely to be predictive, but to symbolize a disaster that is or has already taken place. This dream could also represent a change or transformation that has or needs to take place....House could represent you and fire purifies.(If a house was actually on fire in reality, it would not remain in the same state, the fire would change the former state. Then perhaps a new house would have to be built/restored).

Answer 2

When you have a dream about a burning house, you may think that it is a vision of the future, or a projection of your fears. However, what this actually means is that you have burning desires for something, or you want something horrible to happen to yourself or someone you know, and if that's true, you may want to find someone who can explore your mind and figure out why, or help you stop wanting that.

A different response

It is always difficult to provide a meaningful interpretation from a single image removed from the rest of the dream. The meaning can hinge on whether or not the burning house is the dreamer's own home, which would represent the dreamer's life. While burning as such can symbolize passionate desire, a burning building is more likely to represent anger. Other elements of the dream, such as the location of the house and the dreamer's emotions during the dream, might provide clues as to meaning.

Answer 3

It usually means that you are nervous or scared.

In dreams, one's house usually symbolizes one's life, with various rooms representing specific areas of life: the bedroom and bathroom are intimate areas of life, the front porch is a public area, the kitchen and dining room might be social or nurturing areas. So when the house is on fire, the dreamer is being allerted to an urgent problem in one's personal life that needs immediate attention.

Answer 4

To dream that a house is on fire (regardless of whose house it is) indicates that you need to undergo some transformation.

Dreams are a function of the subconscious.

Symbols have different meanings to different social groups. It therefore depends on the group to which you belong what those symbols mean.

For someone that has no knowledge of the group to which a person belongs and to claim to be able to interpret those symbols is nonsense.

Dreams mostly mean nothing and are a function of the subconscious mind. We know little of the conscious mind. Those people that claim to be able to interpret the subconscious are charlatans, playing upon the insecurities of people in need real support. Either for financial gain or kudos.

Answer 5

Your house in dreams symbolizes your life. Burning can represent passion or destruction. The image can also combine meanings, so that a dream of your house burning down COULD represent your life being destroyed by destructive passion. However, dreams are typically exaggerated and overly dramatic. So it is more likely that this dream is an exaggerated depiction of passion or anger that THREATENS your well-being. Either way, it can be taken as a warning to get your anger or passion under control before serious harm is done.

Answer 6

The house in this dream is a symbol for your life. The "burning" could represent a number of different things, depending on other factors in the dream, especially on the emotions accompanying the dream. Burning can refer to passionate love, anger and rage, or any sort of crisis that feels as if it could ruin your life. Note that the dream is not predicting any literal fire or any other future event. Instead, it illustrates your feeling of impending crisis.

Answer 7

Each person's dreams are about their own life. So when this someone dreamt of your house burning down, it represented something in that person's life, not in your life. For whatever reason, your house is some sort of symbol to that person. While it is always wise to be careful about fire hazards, this dream is not predicting any future fire.

Answer 8

This dream suggests the elimination of certain options. It brings to mind the expression about "burning your bridges behind you," in the sense that after bridges are burnt, you cannot go back. The burnt house suggests that you can no longer access whatever it is that the house meant to you. The dream would be more significant if it were your own home or perhaps your childhood home that has been burned.

Answer 9

These dreams express a serious event that has occurred or is expected to occur that puts the marriage relationship at risk.
