Alternatively, they can symbolize an ex-lover who used to smoke a lot when the relationship was good.

Dreaming about smoking non smoker

When you dream about smoking when you’re a non-smoker, it’s probably because of a subconscious desire to act more confident. In the dream, you are feeling a lack of confidence and need ‘help’ to feel as if you can control a situation as well as the people in it. Sometimes, when non-smokers dream about smoking, it indicates that they are emotionally tied to past habits.

Dream of a Lighter and Smoking

Dreaming of a lighter and smoking can symbolize destructive and unhealthy impulses. It could represent a desire to escape from a troublesome situation or a need to control a situation that is spiraling out of your control. It could also be a sign that you are trying to hide something from yourself or from others. Regardless of the context, this dream suggests that you need to be mindful of your habits and behaviors in order to achieve a healthier and more balanced life.
