Matches – Matches, being connected to fire, are an archetypal image of human survival, but because they are factory-made and industrialized, they are often a symbol of being insecure in your ability to survive in an emergency situation, especially if you dream about starting a campfire with matches. They are also symbolic of inspiration, especially if you dream in detail about lighting a match and watching the flame flare up. They are connected to sparks, so if you dream about matches in connection with another person, this often indicates chemistry and attraction between the two people. This attraction is genuine and strong, and the energy is positive, if you dream about matches. However, keep in mind that matches also burn out very quickly. The forces attracting you to each other right now are strong but transient. Do not get your heart set on this relationship lasting forever, unless you can find something more permanent to base your relationship on.
