Marriage is an ambiguous symbol. Sometimes this may represent a desire for a committed relationship, or sometimes has nothing to do with the marriage in reality:

• The marriage in the dream proves that one feels alone (which can also be in a real existing marriage), that the dreamer is sexually satisfied in full.
• To be married to a stranger, it means that after permanent relationship the dreamer longs for connection (not necessarily with the person appeared in the dream).
• The quick marriage with a stranger in the dream, the sign of sudden change of your career.
• To be forced to get married, the dream denotes that your obsessions that make your personal life easier, but will make your work harder and more difficult.
• To dream of existing marriage, this indicates that you live in harmony with yourself, has reconciled with internal contradictions of personality and therefore can cause an overall happy, contented life. Marriage may therefore prompt you to seek this inner harmony and to develop your happy life.
• Adultery implies that you by your own actions endangered the unity of the personality and therefore you may expect problems if you continue to implement your unilateral desires and needs. Sometimes this dream expresses guilt, which is not necessarily related to the real marriage.
• Divorce in the dream warns of loss of inner harmony, also reference to slander, with which one you have to confront.
• Widowhood may indicate that some parts of the personality are “dead”, or severely repressed and suppressed, and this easily leads to disorders of mental health of the dreamer.

Artemidoros Meanings:

Fire is functionally distinguished in two different kinds:

• firstly the heaven and divine,
• secondly the earth and the one which is used in everyday life.

In the interpretation of the heaven fire you have to proceed as follows:

• to look at radiant, pure and small fire in the sky means a threat from power,
• however, a large but immeasurable predicts the approach of enemies, infertility and famine (to parallel the Babylonian astrology ).

Enemies and Danger Where the fire appears or from which direction it comes, whether from north or south, from west or east, from there the enemies will come near or rule infertility in these areas. Worst of all is, when you see falling down fire on the earth. Burning torches in the sky mean the same. All these phenomena bring on danger over the head of the dreamer. Because like the sky (above-ground) towers above the universe, so the head – the body.

Looking at the fire, which is used in everyday life, with small and pure flame, it is like blessing, but if it blazes enormously and unrestrained, it shows the evil.

• Prosperity The best to see is hearth fire – glow and pure. It means great prosperity, because where meals aren’t prepared the fire is pure;
• Poverty You cannot see the fire on the stove if it expires then it threatens grinding poverty;
• Success To dream that you carry a burning torch at night, it is positive especially for young people. It usually means pleasant love affairs and successful businesses, because you can see what is in front of your feet;
• Wellness The ethereal fire brings good luck, particularly to sick persons, it is to them as a sign of the rescue and salvation.

Warmth, Comfort, Power It is significant to separate dreaming of fire and dreaming of conflagration. The fire is seen as a major element of nature that man has, without awe and guilt, like all myths tell that the fire was stolen to serve for man. This value radiates the heat. Such a dream always results large spiritual powers. For one of the qualities of the soul is the fire. Therefore, the fire in the outer appearance is so attractive to all people.

One of the most important dream images at all, because it had fundamental importance for the people and civilization. Generally, dreamer can understand fire as expressions of:

Question:

– What do I take care of?

In general:

Father partly stands for the relation to own father and / or makes clear these traits which he has affected by his bringing up; behind it you can often see neurotic disturbances which were founded in the childhood. However, it can also point a strong influence by a father-figure with an immature personality. Generally it symbolizes manliness, power and energy.

Psychologically:

The father is a symbol for traditional order and natural authority in the dream. The archetypal representatives of the rational, function of the active consciousness and the will. The father in the dream is mostly the agent the purpose in life bound understanding of life content, but also traditional element. Has or had the dreamer a good relation to own father, diminishes this by the unconscious conflicts and leads us to a certain extent in his hand certainly on the correct way. In the dreams of adults the father appears either as a helpful figure which recalls the long-forgotten lessons of the former father in the memory, or the strong personality of the Father side of the dreamer. In the dreams of young people, the father in a dream is usually an opponent. With this picture, a generation gap can be expressed when the father occurs in other than natural forms. The dream consciousness wants to help the dreamer to separate from childish father’s images and to recognize the father as people like others. When the daughters dream, it often translates the first lover, with women generally or also the husbands – in badly running marriages – the longing for a new life partnership and shows the ideal marked of a desired partner. Women dream more frequently of the archetypal father-figure, which appears in women’s dreams and not necessarily represent the biological father. This is typical woman who is striving for security (who felt herself as a small girl, provides protection of the father). However, on the other hand the father is considered in the dream also as the personified bad conscience (particularly if the mother and the father have always act as the punishing), particularly in view of frequent changes of partners. For sons, he is more the authority figure, the model, but also the rival, the husband of the beloved mother.(What suggested Freud, the Oedipus complex, because Oedipus has killed his father and has married his mother.) Those who dreams of the deceased father, with whom he had a relationship of trust during his lifetime, association receives advice and assistance in a quandary position. Who himself becomes in the dream the father, even if that should not be in the waking life. In everyday life, perhaps an idea for which it is worthwhile to work with energetically effort. However, generally, the whole dream may be considered very carefully, because the father is a very ambiguous dream symbol.

Traditionally:

European (Judeo-Christian)
