๐ณ๐ฅ “I Saw a Burning Tree – Was My Heart Also on Fire?”
๐ฅ Into the Scene: Standing Before the Burning Tree
In a silent forest, under a gray and trembling sky, a lone tree stands.
Its trunk—tall and old—is wrapped in flames, flickering orange and red.
You feel the heat kiss your cheeks.
But the tree doesn’t fall. It burns, almost with dignity. Slowly, solemnly.
You don’t scream. You don’t run.
Instead, you stare.
The fire is both frightening and captivating.
It lights up the silence. It devours and transforms.
It’s beautiful, but it hurts to watch.
“It wasn't just the tree that was burning. Something inside me felt scorched too.”
The air tastes of ash and pine. Your heartbeat follows the crackling rhythm.
The forest doesn’t move.
Only the fire does.
What would you have done? Stepped forward—or turned away?
๐ง Psychological Interpretation: Repressed Fire, Inner Change
A burning tree can symbolize deep emotional shifts, often unspoken.
Fire in dreams represents transformation, passion, or emotional release.
The tree, symbolizing stability or rooted beliefs, burns—perhaps pointing to a part of you that is ready to change or die off.
Are you suppressing feelings—anger, sorrow, desire—that now blaze for release?
Or is something in your life falling apart… so that something new can grow?
“Letting go is hard, even when it burns.”
-
Is there a situation in your life that feels like it's "going up in flames"?
-
What part of you is being tested—or transformed—right now?
