Burns
Burns in a dream, surprisingly, stand for tidings of good in the old books — to burn the hand in a clear, flowing fire marks purity of purpose and the approval of others. The dream tends to touch the cleansing, testing quality of fire, and to ask what trial we are passing through that may, in the end, prove and refine us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for burns, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Burns stand for tidings of good. To burn your hand in a clear and flowing fire, denotes purity of purpose and the approbation of friends. To burn your feet in walking through coals, or beds of fire, denotes your ability to accomplish any endeavor, however impossible it may be to others. Your usual good health will remain with you, but, if you are overcome in the fire, it represents that your interests will suffer through treachery of supposed friends.
