Dreams are one way your Spirit Guides, Angels and Higher Self get messages to you and you can often use the symbolism to gain deeper understanding on what is happening in life.

Spiritually speaking, smoke in a dream can mean a few different things. 

Smoke as a symbol can indicate change is happening

As the result of the two creative forces - fire and ice - coming together, it can indicate something manifesting or being created into physical form.

As From The Angels mentions, when smoke appears in a story, it symbolizes a significant event is now underway.

In spiritual practices, such as saging, for example, smoke is used for cleansing or purification.

When you see smoke in a dream it could symbolize you are undergoing a purification.
