Fire!
The Dream

I am in Jeff's (my boss's) house with my best friend, Kathy.  Jeff
and his wife and daughter are going out and Kathy and I are
housesitting.

Kathy and I are sitting, talking on the couch.   I look up and see
smoke near the window curtain next to a Christmas tree.   I say,
"What's that?"

She says, "What?"

I say, "I think it's smoke."

She says, "No, I'm sure it's not."

We continue talking.   In a short while I see flames.   We run out
of the house.   Kathy calls for help on the cell phone and then I
call Jeff.

Jeff and his family come home, the fire is out.   A firemen tells
him that the fire was caused by the Christmas tree.   And his
reply is, "It's a good thing someone was home."

We all go into the house. I wake up.


The Symbols

A dream about your boss is usually not about your boss but
about yourself -- each one of us has a part of ourself that is
(either consciously or unconsciously) in control of the other
parts.   The boss is referring to this part of yourself.   
Friends in
our dreams are usually a projection of an aspect of ourselves.  
A house is a symbol for the body or the "house of the soul".  
When I think of
smoke, the first thought that comes to mind is
"Where there's smoke there's fire,"  an indication of a warning.   
Fire symbolizes many things, including passion and sexuality, in
this case, it is a symbol of transformation.   The
Christmas tree
is obviously a spiritual symbol.


The interpretation

I am in my boss's house indicating that I am in the body of my
soul and I am in control of the situation that the dream is
referring to.  My best friend is with me, so I know that I am not
alone.  I see smoke ( a warning) but I do not act on it.  When I
see the flames we (again I am not alone) call for help and I alert
my boss (myself) that his (my) house is on fire.  The firemen
come, put out the fire and advise my boss (me) that the
Christmas tree (spirit) was the cause of the fire.

This was not a difficult dream for me to interpret because I have
recently begun more "soul work," which I used to do on a
regular basis.  This inner work has been in the form of
meditation, dream work (I stopped paying attention for a while)
and brainwave entrainment CD's hoping to lead me to Lucid
Dreaming or Out of Body Experiences -- neither of which I have
been successful at yet (you'll know about it when I do.)

So the dream is telling me that I was neglecting my inner work
and I finally took action when the house went on fire.  The
firemen came, put out the fire and said I did the right thing by
calling for help and advising myself of the situation.  And above
all, Kathy, my best  friend was their to tell me that I am not alone,
the easiest  thing of all to forget.  I know that I have someone
watching over me and they listened when I called for help.


My Action Plan

My action plan is obvious -- continue with the inner work and
never forget that I am not alone.
