An alarm going off in a dream is a sudden alert that signals a need for immediate attention. This mechanism works to bring a tension or a shift in the environment into view after it has bypassed conscious awareness. The brain uses such a signal to ensure that an emerging discrepancy is not ignored during the processing of the day.
The dreamer encounters a situation where the necessity for awareness is acute. This suddenness can leave the dreamer feeling unprepared for a conflict or a realization that demands a quick response. Such a dream points to a moment where the internal sorting process identifies a friction that requires resolution. A state of readiness is the result of this mental notification.
A fire alarm going off in a dream focuses the alert on the possibility of a disagreement. This signal identifies a friction that is moving toward a quarrel.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
