I am in an old house on the second floor. The second floor is on fire. My sister, Molly, and my brother, Dan, are there. Molly climbs out a window on the second floor and gets onto the roof that angles down to the top of the first floor. The roof has chunks of ice all over it. She slides down it ok, however. Dan follows her.
I am with a few others (3?) maybe a woman and two men. I do not know them in the dream or in waking life. The fire then goes out. I am sitting with these others around a table (still on the second floor). I tell them, I read about this house being completely destroyed by fire and we need to leave.
2. Hooking Snakes. There are three snakes. Two are dead. And the third one isn’t. All of them are hanging above my head. The snake that is alive has his head away from me and his tail is close. He is medium sized and long. His design is similar to a garter snake without any yellow. Paul is standing behind me and I ask him to help me hook him.
I am not sure why I am hooking them. Maybe to move them some place?
I shared the Burning House Dream with my sister, Chris, my city’s dream group and Kathleen and Shaney. Here are some ideas/thoughts:
The old house could represent my hopes and dreams related to being a part of Kevin and Antonia’s life/family, playing my role of a beloved grandma. It also could represent an old complex-my rejection complex that is now destroyed. Lastly, it could represent the victim, rescuer, prosecutor triangle that I am no longer going to be a part of with Kevin and Antonia. It also can represent my anger that has helped with destroying the dysfunctional relationship Kevin, Antonia and I have had.
Molly could represent the practical, no nonsense part of me that knows to get out. Dan could represent my inner counselor and he also knows to get out. (of the relationship with Kevin and Antonia). The ice could represent a healing like how I am using it now on my knee.
The three, naive people in the house could be parts of myself that want to explore more, figure out what happened, etc. However, my higher Self knows that it is time to let the old structure burn to the ground and I get them to come with me, cross the street and watch it happen.
The timing is unusual. I know the building will burn to the ground. I don’t know if that means there is more to come-that something more will be destroyed or it is just “dream time”.
I also don’t know if something will “rise from the ashes” or not. I did not cause the blaze. And I do not know if there will be a new structure built in the old house’s place.
