What does sparks mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about seeing sparks often symbolizes a sudden realization, inspiration, or an explosive start of a new phase in your life. It can be more nuanced than that though.
It's a sign of potential and possibility. On the other hand, if you're creating sparks in your dream, it suggests that you're the catalyst for change or the one igniting a new phase.
It can also mean that you're striving to make an impact or seeking attention. Both scenarios indicate a transformative period, but the latter places more emphasis on your active role in this transformation.
Sparks can often be a complex and intriguing dream symbol to really interpret with certainty. To really say for sure, it's really necessary to get a deeper understanding of the dreamer's background and current environment.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of observing sparks may represent an unconscious recognition of latent potential or a sudden insight, a manifestation of the Freudian concept of 'Eureka' moments.
The dream-symbol can have many permutations however. It signifies the ignition of a new psychological phase, a transition from the dormant to the active. Conversely, if you are the one generating sparks, it suggests you are the instigator of change, the 'Id' seeking to assert its dominance. This could also be a manifestation of the desire for recognition, a projection of the 'Ego'. Both scenarios point towards a period of transformation, with the latter emphasizing your active participation in this metamorphosis.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of seeing sparks signifies a spiritual awakening or divine inspiration, a glimpse of the divine spark within you. It's a sign of your soul's readiness to embark on a new spiritual journey. If you're creating sparks, it suggests you're being called to ignite change and transformation, not just within yourself, but also in your surroundings. It's a call to use your spiritual power to illuminate the world. Both scenarios indicate a period of spiritual growth and transformation, with the latter emphasizing your role as a spiritual catalyst.
