Dreams are one way your Spirit Guides, Angels and Higher Self get messages to you and you can often use the symbolism to gain deeper understanding on what is happening in life.
Spiritually speaking, smoke in a dream can mean a few different things.
Smoke as a symbol can indicate change is happening.
As the result of the two creative forces – fire and ice – coming together, it can indicate something manifesting or being created into physical form.
As From The Angels mentions, when smoke appears in a story, it symbolizes a significant event is now underway.
In spiritual practices, such as saging, for example, smoke is used for cleansing or purification. When you see smoke in a dream it could symbolize you are undergoing a purification.
A few additional dream meanings of smoke:
If you see a cloud of white smoke in a dream
Seeing a white cloud of smoke could indicate a situation you are currently in is foggy, details surrounding a certain circumstance are in flux and time is needed to bring resolution.
If you dream of smoke in the sky
Smoke in the sky can symbolize spiritual communion and connection, as smoke is often used to send intentions up to the Divine. It can mean your intentions are being heard.
If you see smoke in a house in a dream
Seeing smoke in a house can indicate emotions clouding up a home environment. This is a situation that could benefit from an energy clearing and more clarity.
To recap, smoke in a dream can symbolize:
Change is happening and manifestation is underway
You are undergoing a cleansing and purification
Your intentions and prayers are being heard
Clarity is needed to bring resolution to a situation
Overall, smoke in a dream can indicate that significant changes are in process, purification and clarity would benefit a situation, and your prayers being heard.
