(Fumes) In a dream, smoke means a partnership, an investment, or it could represent outside money that someone has placed with one's capital for business. Smoke in a dream also may mean meekness, or loss of property or capital. However, seeing smoke in a dream may mean profits only for one whose livelihood stems from dealing with fire. In a dream, smoke also represents an appalling or a horrifying calamity wherever it may appear. (Also see Clouds of smoke, Sparks)
