Earth Fire and A Black Cat
« on: October 01, 2015, 09:35:14 AM »
I had this dream last week, it puzzled me, I decided to share it for any possible insight.

There was a fire in the backyard of a friend's house I was at. I don't remember how I got there, this was where my dream awareness began. His father and several people were standing around the backyard. The fire came from the ground: it was a sunken patch of bare earth that looked dark and rich (as opposed to dry and barren), and the flames would come from it, in a way similar to flames rising from a stovetop. This was the only place where there was fire. I remember feeling the heat from it. It did not spread, it remained concentrated on one area of the yard, but I was still apprehensive about the possibility of it spreading (to the house). We all stood around it, watching this fire, until it was evening. Then I noticed a pipeline coming from a tank nearby that was positioned somewhere near above the fire (not exactly above it, but close by). I was told it was a gas line. I think that because I began to anticipate danger, I created the gas line above it. I walked around the fire, feeling the heat from it, examining it, while everyone continued gawking at it. I remember passing a corner of the yard, and noticing a black cat sitting in that corner to my left. My impression was that the cat is feminine. It was facing me, but I couldn't see its eyes, they looked half closed maybe. It looked very mysterious, sitting up by itself on the ground, and its position and countenance reminded me of an owl. Even though it sat quietly in the corner and didn't move, the mysterious nature of the cat is one of the most vivid memories I have, though I looked at it for maybe a couple seconds, not paying too much attention to it (my focus was on the fire). I eventually got tired of all this waiting around and ran towards a pipe in the washing room of the house, calling my friend to come with me so I could fill a couple buckets to carry out to the flames. I ran with the bucket in my hand to the flame and threw the water into it, the friend threw water into it right after me at the other side. It was mostly out now, but wispy streams of flames still came up. I went to fill up some more while the friend's father climbed into the earthy patch where the flame was to pat it out with something (I don't remember what). It finally went out, and then I woke up.
The whole dream I felt like it was my responsibility to out the fire, it was as if everyone stood around, not knowing whether to perceive danger or what.

PrimaMateria - Fire emerging from earth in a dream has no danger in it - for dreams express truth about our inner world, a completely different world in which nothing can harm you - except your own emotions and fears. You cannot be killed in a dream. All you can experience is the anguish and perhaps fear of dying, but in dreams you cannot die – or drown, or burn or any other threatening thing. We make the mistake of taking our very real values from our outer life into our inner life of dreams.

So your anxiety or fear has extinguished a source of life, an expression of your core self. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/core/

Without fear you could, like She in Rider Haggard's book, have stood in the fire and been rejuvenated. It would have faced you with all the fears, emotions, and childhood traumas and cleansed you of them. For that is what is involved in being aware of your hugeness.

In fact I believe that you must have experienced something of the power of your core self to have dreamt the dream - but you withdrew. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/what-we-need-to-remember-about-us-3/#Reaction

I hope this helps, especially if you try being the fire - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-on-your-dream/#BeingPerson

PrimaMateria - Feeling lost is also a sign of great changes going on in you. The past person that you knew yourself as is changing, and the new you is not yet known, so you have lost the past you and have not gained the new one through the anxiety and fear you feel. It is all about change, and it might help to read http://dreamhawk.com/news/there-is-a-huge-change-happening/ - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/secrets-power-dreaming/ - http://dreamhawk.com/news/summing-up/ - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/authentic-self/ - http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/letting-things-happen/

Sorry there are so many links, but there is a lot that might help you.
