The appearance in a dream (as in real life) of a fire engine is always associated with some extraordinary circumstances. According to many highly respected interpreters, this image promises a person soon troubles, feelings and anxieties. However, as with the plots of other night visions, it is not all clear, and talking about what the fire engine is dreaming of is possible only taking into account the details of what was seen.
A dream of change in real life
One of the most respected experts in night visions, American psychiatrist Gustav Miller (1857-1929), indicates how differently the fire engine that appeared to us in a dream can be interpreted. In his opinion, the kind of fire disaster that the team was racing along in the red fire engine suggests that in real life the dreamer is on the verge of big changes.
Their nature depends on how successful the actions of firefighters will be. If the fire-fighters quickly do their job and, most importantly, the job will do without sacrifices, then we can safely count on the happy changes that await the person in real life. And on the contrary, to see a fire engine in a dream that arrived late and to witness the clumsy work of its crew, which caused loss of life and heavy material losses, is an omen that subsequent waking events will not please the dreamer. Apparently, the author writes, he should prepare for the onset of a gloomy streak in his life.
Opinion overseas dream connoisseur
A very curious comment about what a fire engine seen in a dream may mean is contained in a dream book compiled by American psychoanalyst David Lough. In it, the scientist writes that for young girls in this image there is a threat that they can become a victim of someone’s intrigue and contrary to their desire to get into an extremely ugly story, it will be very difficult to get out of it.
The author also warns all other dreamers that for them a similar image may be unfavorable, although to a lesser extent than for young girls. He can promise them the emergence of some extreme situations, the way out of which will require mental energy and physical strength.
What did the learned lady tell the world?
The question of what the fire engine is dreaming of is fully considered in the dream book of Miss Hosse, a learned lady who became famous as a medium and an unrivaled expert on the secret depths of the human soul. In it, she gives interpretations of various subjects involving a fire engine. Mrs. Hosse begins with a warning that, having seen her standing peacefully in the garage, one should not relax, because after a lull, troubles can follow.
She writes about what a fire engine is dreaming of, hurrying to the place of fire disaster. In her interpretation, this is a sign that fate prepares the dreamer for an accident. To avoid danger, he should be extremely careful in everything. If the fire engine extinguishes the fire, but the fire does not decrease, but, on the contrary, covers more and more new territories, then in a similar story, Mrs. Hosse sees a harbinger of an impending complex and complicated business that the dreamer will face in real life. It will be especially difficult if, during sleep, the fire engine receives any damage. In this case, dealing with the problem will not be easy.
In conclusion, the famous interpreter writes that if in a dream a fire engine is driving, making the sounds of a siren, then the person who hears them should wake up more closely to the people around him. It is very possible that their society has a bad influence on him and can provoke troubles both in his personal life and in the business sphere.
Siren - harbinger of danger
In addition to the handbook compiled by Mrs. Hosse, the answer to the question of why the fire engine siren is dreamed up can be found in the Universal Universal Dream Book. Its authors strongly recommend that everyone who has had a chance to hear these harsh, alarming sounds in a dream refrain from concluding deals, participating in gambling and doing extreme sports for some time. This happens from the fact that, in their opinion, any siren (including a fire alarm), both in a dream and in reality, is an alarm and a warning about a possible danger.
Do not be afraid to drive a fire engine in a dream!
But as already mentioned above, it is far from always possible to take as a bad omen a fire seen in a dream. Why, for example, dream of a fire engine in which the dreamer himself arrives at the scene of the disaster? The answers to this question are contained in many publications, and for the most part they are similar. Despite the fantastic nature of such a plot, many authors of dream books see it as a harbinger of a quiet and peaceful life.
Especially promising is a dream in which its main character feels himself not just riding in a red fire engine, but sitting at the same time behind the wheel and personally controlling it. And it doesn’t matter whether he really knows how to drive a car and whether he has rights (they are unlikely to be checked in a dream), in any case, the compilers of most dream books promise him career growth, an increase in social status and, as a result, an improvement in the quality of life.
Comments addressed to young girls and married ladies
But not everything is so simple, and this rule has an exception that applies only to young girls. Unfortunately, when asked about what dreams of going by a fire engine, interpreters cannot give them a soothing answer. For girls, such a trip can promise to participate in some troublesome and extremely unpleasant business, in which they will be drawn into by their inexperience. They are recommended to exercise special caution in heart affairs so as not to become a victim of any seeker of easy pleasures.
As for married women, for them the compilers of dream books have a very serious warning, however, related to dreams of a slightly different kind. If one of them dreams that the husband, having rushed by a fire engine, puts out the fire, then this plot should be regarded as a harbinger of an impending family quarrel. At the same time, the woman herself will initiate it, but she will try to put all the blame on her husband.
What should a person think about watching a firefighter work in a dream?
In the famous "Ukrainian Dream Book", which has won considerable popularity among readers today, an interpretation of another plot of night visions related to the topic under consideration is given. It concerns dreams, in which a person watches how a team of fighters of the Ministry of Emergencies fights with fire, using at the same time the most diverse special equipment delivered to the place of ignition by modern fire engines.
According to Ukrainian interpreters, such a dream contains a hidden warning that this person is extremely restrained in relations with others, because of which he often becomes the culprit of various conflicts. He is urged to be more attentive to his own statements, so as not to infringe on someone’s pride. This is especially important if you have to deal with a person who is known to be inclined to perceive other people's comments as a manifestation of disrespect for him.
Help firefighters stuck in the mud!
The conversation about what the fire engine siren was dreaming about was higher, but it would be an unfortunate omission to ignore the comment given on this subject by Ukrainian drafters. The following plot is given on the pages of their dream book: upon hearing the sound of a siren, a man runs to find out what happened and sees a fire engine stuck in the road mud. The following are two possible options for its actions.
If he rushes to the aid of firefighters and tries to help them push the car, then this suggests that in reality he has a real chance to help someone close to him, and missing him would be an unforgivable mistake. However, in the case when the dreamer does not try to come to the rescue of fire-fighters who are bogged down in the mud, and is limited only to their passive contemplation, in real life he can hardly be useful to a person in trouble and all his attempts will be unsuccessful. He should regard his failure as inevitability caused by circumstances beyond his control. Let us note in passing that the interpreters of dreams do not attach any importance to whether the attempt by the firefighters to free the stalled car from the mud was successful. Apparently, in this case, only the dreamer's desire to provide all possible assistance is important.
Dreams resulting from technological progress
For obvious reasons, the question of what fire engines dream of is considered only by modern authors of dream books and those who are separated from us by an interval of time not much longer than one century. Since this technique in the West came into use at the end of the 19th century, and first appeared in Russia in 1904 (a prototype issued by the St. Petersburg company Frese and Co.), it appeared relatively late in dreams too. Nevertheless, most commentators pay much attention to the interpretation of subjects related to fire fighting equipment and explain to readers what fires dream in a dream, since they are a reflection of real life.
