I Don't Think I Should Eat Italian Sausage For Dinner Anymore

So in my dream last night, my house was on fire. Actually, it had been on fire and the fire department was there making sure the smoldering embers were kept under control. The fire burned off the front of the house so I could see into it...a lot like the game The Sims that my daughter plays.

Apparently, we'd done a good job of saving the important stuff, too. We were standing by the street together with the dog, but my wife had gone back into the house because "somebody has to keep these DVD's from water damage. We've got a lot of money tied up in these things."

We were shouting to her to come out because they weren't that important.

Tracy, kept lecturing us that she was fine and that we should all stop worrying about it...that there was no iminent danger. She told us that since the firefighters moved on to the other houses in the neighborhood that we could come in and get whatever else we needed to get that wasn't burned.

Now, much like the vague horoscope or fortune cookie things, I'll check out dreammoods.com for the interpretation on occasion. It's kind of fun, too. Here's what it said:

Fire

Depending on the context of your dream, to see fire in your dream can symbolizes destruction, passion, desire, illumination, transformation, enlightenment, or anger. It may suggest that something old is passing and something new is entering your life. Your thoughts and views are changing. In particular, if the fire is under control or contained in one area, it is a metaphor of your own internal fire and inner transformation. It also represents your drive and motivation.

To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation. If you have recurring dreams of your family house on fire, then it suggests that you are still not ready for the change or that you are fighting against the change. Alternatively, it highlights passion and the love of those around you.

So, since this was a little vague for my tastes, any help The Diner readership can dish out would be appreciated...
