Dreaming of putting out a fire with water - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may reflect a desire to calm down overwhelming emotions or problems directly.
You pour water on spreading flames or spray them with a hose. When the fire dies down, you feel relieved, but if the water runs short, some anxiety may remain.
Korean lore: Traditionally, putting out a fire with water has sometimes been interpreted as a flow in which excessive force or a difficult situation is calmed. A dying fire may suggest that a burden is being sorted out, while a fire that continues may point to a situation that still needs more care. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition of reading the fire’s intensity and the act of putting it out as metaphors for shifts in fortune or the flow of emotion.)
Through the mind: Your emotions may have grown intense, or you may want to settle a problem before it spreads further. You may be in a period of trying hard to control things, or feeling that a situation is too much to handle alone.
