Psychology
Sweltering dreams often reflect a warm room or too many covers. Emotionally, they can mirror impatience, irritation or pent-up feelings felt as heat. They tend to appear when you are rushed or holding back complaints you cannot voice.
Folklore and history
In Japan, telling ghost stories to chill the spine in summer heat has been a pastime said to date back to the Edo era. Summer overlaps with Obon, when the dead and living draw close. Dream readers link heat to passion and rising luck, but also to clashes if it runs too high.

This site's view
In this site's view, read the dream by where the heat came from. Blazing sun means strong expectations from outside. A sealed, stuffy room means feeling trapped. If everyone else looked cool while you alone were drenched, you may be carrying something alone, burning unseen.
Going deeper: our reading
When we feel hot, the body sweats, and the evaporating sweat carries heat away. In humid air, though, sweat does not dry well and heat tends to build up inside. In this site's reading, people who dream of feeling hot often want to let their feelings out, yet the mood around them or their position will not allow it, so the heat collects within. If a splash of cold water left you refreshed, a chance to reset may already be close. If you tried to open a window and it would not budge, frustration at finding no way out is growing. This is our speculation, but someone fanning you in the heat may mean you are about to notice a person who quietly cools you down. If you truly feel unwell, please rest.
