Dreaming that the workplace catches fire - dream meaning with inherited lore

After arriving at work, you spot flames or smoke in the office. Things grow chaotic, and you hesitate over whether to go outside or hurry to evacuate.

Korean lore: In traditional dream interpretation, fire can symbolize energy or major change, though its meaning varies by scene. Seeing a fire at work may be read alongside tension that things at work could change significantly.
