I'm wondering if the fire in these dreams doesn't represent the change that you are going through...

So you think I'm killing the change? I interpreted it as removing a damaging force (fear) and rewetting the area was keeping the fire (fear) from returning, and the people mourning it were parts of the subconscious lamenting what's been left behind from the damage the fear had caused - but I'm open to other perspectives.

I don't know what the symbolism of this dream is specifically. I do know that fire brings change with it. When you burn something, it changes, and a lot of people think it is purifying too.

Symbolically, fire therefore frequently represents change and purification.

Water usually symbolically represents the emotions.... so if the water represents the emotions, it could effectively reverse the meaning of your dream. If the fire is change and the water is your fear of change, then the dream is showing you trying to prevent change, which is feared.

But if the fire represents fear, or what is feared, then the water would represent you using your emotions and controlling them to kill the fear (likely fear of change and the unknown).

Now I'm not saying that is what your subconscious was intending the symbolism to mean here, but it is a different point of view worth considering at least. Only you can know for sure. I'm rooting for fire representing the fear of the unknown, and the water representing your controlled use of your emotions to kill fear. Go RTB!
