Burn Dream Meaning
Dream interpretation
Dreaming of fire can symbolize authority or very difficult conversations. If you see your forehead or sides burning in a dream, it indicates that you are avoiding some important issues or resisting certain matters. Such dreams may reflect any stress or problems in your life that are affecting your mental state.
Ibn Sirin
Burn — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Burn" (page 62) — resolved via the equivalent "Cauterize" entry.
Cauterization in a dream denotes a ruler, or it could mean painful words. Ifone's forehead or sides are seared or cauterized in a dream, it means that he is obviating or hindering the distribution of charities or the due alms tax on one's assets, or it could mean a crack down by the authorities on people who are evading to pay their taxes, or it could mean separation between dear ones. Ifone is cauterized with gold or silver in the dream, it means stinginess or hindering the payment or distribu tion of God's rights upon one's earnings to poor and needy people. If one is cauterized with iron in a dream, it means punishment for his sins. Discovering old marks from cauterization in a dream means discovering a treasurer. Cauterizing someone in a dream also means speaking to someone with harsh and painful words. If the mark left by such cauterization looks like a rounded seal in a dream, it means subjugation to a court order or complying with the law. Cauterizing a vein or a knee in a dream means begetting a daughter or getting married, or it could mean slandering a stranger. Discovering a burn caused by cauterization in one's chest in a dream means presiding over people. If one's back is seared or cauterized in a dream, it denotes stinginess, or it could mean that he fails to comply with God's rights upon him. (Also see Back; Seal)
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
