Dreaming of covering a fire on water - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this scene has sometimes been read as a wish to hide a visible force or feeling for a while.
You cover the flames on the water with something like a bowl or cloth. As the light is hidden or dims, you may worry someone will find out or feel relieved.
Korean lore: Scenes of hiding or covering a flame have sometimes been interpreted as holding back your energy for a while. When water and fire appear together, it can also suggest trying to keep complicated feelings from showing. (This interpretation draws on the folk tradition of reading fire as a symbol of force and emotion in dreams.)
Through the mind: A scene like this may come to mind when you want to keep a hard-to-share feeling or plan to yourself for a while. Notice whether you felt relieved or stifled after covering it; that may help you sense how much space you need right now.
