I just got a new apartment on an upper level. It had a lot of mirrors and lights. I was trying to adjust one of the mirrors to be center on a wall but it knocked over a light onto the rug. It caught on fire. I looked to the kitchen and saw a cup full of water so I grabbed it and poured it onto the fire. The fire was still glowing so I got more water and poured it onto the fire until it went out.
I was outside with a friend. She was sitting on the grass near an ant pile. She started poking it with her finger. I told her they were going to bite her if she didn’t stop. Suddenly they all swarmed out onto her arm and head. She got up and started swatting at herself to get them off. She got away from the ants and we started walking down a trail. A swarm of bees came and surrounded her. She was swinging her arms trying to get them away from her then they started chasing me. I ran towards a building trying to get away and they turned around to chase my friend again. I got in the building and she followed me in but the door took so long to close that the bees got in and we ran out of the building again. When we got back outside the bees just flew away.

The dream had a somewhat coherent storyline, though it shifted from the apartment fire to the outdoor insect attack.

Apartment Fire and Insect Attack

The dream was quite stressful, with moments of panic during the fire and insect attacks.

The intensity was high, especially during the fire and the insect attacks, which created a sense of urgency.

The dream had a mix of realistic elements, like the apartment and fire, with more surreal events like the insect swarm.

The scenes, especially the apartment and the swarm of insects, were highly detailed and clear.

Cindy, the dream starts with you moving into a new apartment on an upper level, which signifies a new phase or a higher level of understanding in your life. The presence of many mirrors and lights suggests a focus on self-reflection and enlightenment. When you tried to adjust a mirror, it caused a light to fall and start a fire. This could symbolize that your attempts to perfect or center yourself are leading to unexpected consequences, igniting situations that you need to manage carefully.

  The act of using water to extinguish the fire is significant. Water often represents emotions and intuition. Here, it suggests that you are using your emotional intelligence to address and control problems that arise from your pursuit of self-improvement. The persistence in putting out the fire shows your determination and resilience in overcoming obstacles.

  As the scene shifts to the outside with your friend by the ant pile, the ants represent small, nagging issues or irritations. Your warning to your friend about the ants biting her indicates your awareness and perhaps a sense of responsibility to protect others from harm. When the ants swarm her, it highlights how minor problems can quickly escalate if not addressed.

  The transition to the bees introduces another layer of complexity. Bees often symbolize community, productivity, and sometimes, threats if disturbed. Your friend's struggle with the bees and their subsequent chase after you suggests that communal or social issues are becoming overwhelming.
