Could you tell me what this dream means?

I'm currently staying with a friend in her house. It's a really unfamiliar environment and I don't know how long I'm staying here, and her brother is sort of strange (he's sort of mean and distant) and I just wanted to also make sure this does/doesn't play into my dream.

In the dream, I'm trying to run up her staircase for some reason, but my feet feel heavy and I can't move. I tried to yell something but I don't remember what. For some reason I'm completely surrounded by fire. Right as I try to run upstairs again (for some reason I keep trying), I wake up.

What does this mean?

    Most dreams don't mean anything at all, and are just incoherent ramblings of the sleeping brain. Sometimes dreams are the subconscious trying to make the conscious mind notice something it's ignoring in waking life, and other dreams have psychological interpretations that are as obvious to the dreamer as to us. I don't believe there is any universal key to dream meaning, though in the Dream Interpretation forum there will of course be many others who disagree with that--I think meanings are personal to the dreamer. I don't normally say so, but when you have no other answers at all after seven or eight hours, or have only trivial ones (or religious predators, or the website point spammer), I'll chime in then.

    I'm always dubious when someone claims that a certain dream object or action has a specific waking-world meaning. How could we know such things. Someone makes a claim on day that dreaming about a grasshopper eating an ice cream cone means that there will be a plague of locusts on an ice cream shoppe, and it becomes canon and repeated as gospel by people learning rote 'meanings' from 'dream interpretation' books and/or websites. Most imagery means nothing at all, or it has obvious meaning. I'm always baffled when some adolescent asks what having dreams about her secret crush kissing her means--the meaning is obvious, and there's little point in asking about it.

    Your dream sounds like the random variety. It doesn't mean anything, or it means whatever you want it to mean. Dreams certainly have nothing to do with gods or demons--there is nothing paranormal or supernatural about either dreams or dream content.

    If her brother is involved in witchcraft, then you are in trouble, and this could be a reason why you had this hellish dream. You may continue to experience nightmares at this house until you move. Also, I am not sure that you will be stuck somewhere in your life in an uncomfortable position for a long time as danger will get progressively worse. Please do whatever you can stay busy, and also pray over the room you are sleeping so that God will remove all kinds of demonic spirits so you will not be having these nightmares.
