This mythological fire bird stands for longevity, renewal and re-birth. The bird with bright red and golden plumage is said to have lived for about 500 years and it also has become a myth that it has the ability to come to life over and over again and rise from its own ashes through the transformational and purifying power of fire. Consequently, if a phoenix bird appears in your dream, the image should be seen as a symbol of soul renewal and self-change which are needed to make things work better in your life.

If we strive hard enough to change ourselves and find what is good and what is bad inside us, then we will be able to change flaws into qualities and rise again from the metaphorical fire which transforms and purifies us.
