Fireplace – A fireplace is a symbol of archetypal warmth and survival through bitter cold. It symbolizes safety and security from outside dangers. It also symbolizes the family, as it is the place where the family gathers for comfort. If you dream of starting a fire in a fireplace, this is an indication of your ability to create this sort of security for yourself and others. If you dream of a roaring fire in a fireplace, or someone else starting the fire, this indicates that you find your security in someone else. On the other hand, a dream of an empty fireplace indicates some danger threatening your security and relationships. It indicates the threat of loneliness and confusion.
