Dreaming that a fire extinguisher won’t work - dream meaning with inherited lore

You grab a fire extinguisher where a fire has broken out and squeeze the handle, but no powder comes out. The flames keep burning, and you grow anxious, unsure what to do.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a tool for controlling fire that fails to do its job has sometimes been interpreted as a sign that a way to resolve a worry is blocked. There isn’t, however, a widely established interpretation for a broken fire extinguisher itself. (This interpretation connects the fire extinguisher’s role with the folk view of fire as a sign of worry or conflict.)

Through the mind: The scene may reflect a feeling that there’s something you need to resolve but no good way to handle it. You could also reflect on whether you’re wondering whom to ask for help instead of carrying it alone.
