Dreaming of Gas
gas, fumes, natural gas, propane · mostly negative, with a hopeful way out
A dream of gas is mostly about hasty judgments and carelessness that come back on you, with a way out once the flame is lit.
What happens in the dream
- Turning the gas off: you may end up undermining your own happiness
- Bright, pleasant gaslight: happiness in love
- Dim, strange-looking gaslight: a love that is drifting away
- Gas in general: you may judge someone unfairly and regret it later
- Lighting the gas: you will easily find a way out of a bad patch
- Feeling asphyxiated: trouble you bring on yourself through waste or carelessness
- Trying to blow gas out: you are unknowingly keeping company with people who wish you harm
How you felt
- Unease or a sense of suffocation: the dream may reflect a situation weighing on you that you haven't named yet
- Relief when the light comes on: you may sense that a solution is within reach
Ask yourself
- Have I judged someone too quickly?
- What am I letting build up in my life through neglect?
