Smoke
Smoke — where there's fire, but obscuring it — often touches perplexity from doubts and fears, with dangerous flatterers victimizing you if you're overcome. The dream may ask where confusion is clouding your sight, and whether you can see through the haze, or the choking flattery, to the real source of heat filling the room.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for smoke, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of smoke, foretells that you will be perplexed with doubts and fears.
To be overcome with smoke, denotes that dangerous persons are victimizing you with flattery.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of being in a room full of smoke, foretells that you will engage in an angry controversy, and perhaps quarrel: lovers who dream of smoke, will nose out the fire when they next meet, and it will prove to be either one of anger or of lust.
