Lit stove
A stove with a fire in it — the daily working centre of the kitchen, the source of cooked food.
A lit stove in a dream is the dream's image of the daily working centre of the kitchen, the source from which cooked food is possible. The stove is hot; the household runs from it. The dream brings the stove when something in your life — a household, a creative practice, a personal discipline — is currently operating with its central engine running. A lit stove tended through the day is the dream affirming the work. A lit stove left unattended, with the pot boiling dry, is the dream noting that the working centre is producing damage instead of food because the cook has stepped away from it.
