Fagot
A fagot — a bound bundle of sticks for the fire — often touches gathered tension that can smoulder into threat or blaze into release. The dream may ask whether the smoke rising near you signals enemies bearing down or a bright flame of escape, and what unwise actions of friends might burn you, or what miraculous rise survives the fire.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fagot, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of seeing a dense smoke ascending from a pile of fagots, it denotes that enemies are bearing down upon you, but if the fagots are burning brightly, you will escape from all unpleasant complications and enjoy great prosperity.
If you walk on burning fagots, you will be injured by the unwise actions of friends. If you succeed in walking on them without being burned, you will have a miraculous rise in prospects.
To dream of seeing fagots piled up to burn you at the stake, signifies that you are threatened with loss, but if you escape, you will enjoy a long and prosperous life.
