Subject: Making fire

I was in this white room with my brother but it was more like we were stranded on a desert island: yet we were in a white room.

My brother tried to make a fire. He took two rocks and tried to rub them together but they only crumbled.

I told him that he had to bang them together in order to make a spark, and then we would have a fire. I then told him about a movie that was made about a castaway. My brother banged the rocks together and sparks came out of the rocks, but I don't know whether he started the fire or not.

Then I was sitting by myself somewhere else. A man came and picked me up bodily and threw me into a tub of very clean water.

Then the guy left and a woman came. I stood up in the tub and I said, "Do Jewish people believe in baptism?" She said, "Only the bloodiest."

It is interesting all this fire imagery happening at the moment. What's the connection I wonder? End of the year reflection perhaps? My sister has always referred to dreams about a film or TV show you've just seen as 'rubbish bin dreams' - merely processing the images you've seen through the day. But your dream is lovely in that it shows your subconscious selection of such an image and your connection of that to a personal situation. Some thoughts: 1)Either you see your brother as a survivor figure who has potential but needs your nurturing/guidance, or you need to take something of your brother that you see in yourself and work harder at that facet of yourself/your life. 2)I think what Jane said about my fire dream a few weeks ago is important too: that a flame (or a spark in your case) is not necessarily a fire. Interestingly you seemed to jump (like I did) to the fire concept first before thinking about the spark. Does that concept in itself mean anything to you ("You can't start a fire without a spark")? Do you need to be looking at something on the smaller scale rather than the long term/bigger picture? 3)The only baptism connection that springs to mind is the notion of 'baptism by fire' ie jumping in a the deep end, being introduced to something in the hardest possible way. Is this like trying to make a spark by the futile rubbing of rocks? 4)The white room could have many interpretations I'm sure, but two thoughts:your brain's way of telling you that this message is important - removing all distraction from the dream but the major action OR it could be connected to notions of purity and cleansing which links with the baptism. OK, over to someone else!
