Incense

Incense represents the bridge between the material world and the spiritual, emotional, or unconscious realms. The act of burning it transforms a solid substance into fragrant smoke that rises, symbolizing prayers, thoughts, or wishes ascending to a higher plane. Historically used in ceremonies and rituals across the globe, incense is tied to purification, meditation, and making a space sacred. Its aroma can evoke a sense of peace, reverence, or a special presence. Depending on the type, like frankincense or myrrh, it can signify divinity and celebration or healing, sorrow, and even death, encompassing the full spectrum of spiritual experience. At its core, incense is about intentionally shifting your state of mind and environment toward something deeper and more meaningful.

Seeing or smelling incense in your dream suggests your inner self is calling for a moment of reflection or a deeper connection to your spirit. It might be a sign that you need to 'clear the air' in your conscious life—releasing old thoughts, negative emotions, or unhealthy situations. This symbol can be an invitation to explore your spiritual side or to find a more profound sense of purpose. It can also point to a significant personal transformation, where parts of you are being 'burned away' to make room for renewal and growth.
