Dream Analysis: The Little Burning Fire

In this new segment, join Lisa, Joseph, and Deb as they illuminate the mysterious corners of the unconscious by interpreting your dreams, illustrated.

They analyze the dream of a 40-year-old man who is an aspiring actor who encounters a mysterious magical fire in a mansion:

"I’m working on a production filming at a large mansion, but I’m not working in front of the camera this time. I’m working behind the camera on the crew as a production assistant. The scene is shot inside, right at the entrance of the mansion. I’m in a pleased, enthusiastic mood. I stand there watching the filming—directly behind me are two French doors. Suddenly, I needed to use the restroom, but the restrooms for the crew were the porta-johns outside, and I couldn’t get out the door because they were filming right in front of the entrance.

Then I remembered something: I knew the owner of this mansion, and he entrusted me with a skeleton key. I think, “Well, I’ve been given a key to go into any room in the house; surely it’s fine for me to use one of the restrooms.” I turn around and use the skeleton key for the first time. The key is gold and looks just like a big old-fashioned key. I open the French doors and close them behind me. Now I’m in a large Study. It’s beautiful and luxurious. It looks like old money, nothing too modern. There’s a fireplace and comfy chairs, a large elegant sofa with many pillows, and a desk and many books. The room is lit only by sunlight. I slowly walked across the Study toward the bathroom at the end of the room. I take my time, taking it all in. I feel unique being in here alone.

When I get to the restroom, the door is locked. I use the skeleton key for a second time. Now, I’m in a small restroom that looks remarkably like the restroom in my parent’s bedroom. I stand and look at myself in the mirror, and then I notice a wooden medicine cabinet on the wall to the left of me. I’m curious about what’s inside. I’m drawn to it. I try opening it, but it’s locked.

Could the skeleton key even open this small cabinet? I used the skeleton key for the third time, and it worked! I’m shocked to discover that there is only a small burning fire inside the cabinet. It looks just like a small miniature campfire. I’m stunned. “Why is this fire here? What is the meaning of it? How does the fire burn even when the cabinet is locked up? Why does the fire not consume the entire wood cabinet?” I’m just awe-struck. Then I realize, “Oh my gosh, I’ve left the key in the lock, and that lock must be burning hot from being so close to a fire for so long.”

I pull the key out of the lock, and the key is warped. It began to melt. Now I’m slightly panicked. I run the key under cold water, but it’s useless. The key is warped from the fire. “Now the mansion’s owner will know I’ve been snooping and found his little burning fire.” I try to figure out what to do and finally decide. I better just come clean; he will know exactly what I did when he sees the key."
