Gas Station
To dream of a gas station represents feelings about needing to replenish your energy, motivation, or resources in order to keep moving forward with goals. Habits that give you emotional or psychological sustenance in order to keep moving forward. A gas station may symbolize a pause, a checkpoint, or an intentional moment to restore strength before continuing down a chosen path. Something you feel you need to have in order to continue with the direction your life is taking. Awareness of burnout, fatigue, or a need to refuel yourself in order to keep going.
A gas station may be a sign that you've "run out of gas" or need to recalibrate in order to carry on. A need to re-energize or reinvigorate your life in some area. Feeling empty and needing to recharge some area of your life. Feeling that you've done something in excess or that your relationship is running out of energy.
Negatively, dreaming about a gas station may represent feelings about needing to do things you don't want to do in order to sustain, continue, or fuel progress with a situation in your life. Feeling like a loser who needs to inject enthusiasm or confidence into your life or relationship. Feeling that you are running out of energy, patience, or emotional strength. Frustration with being forced to pause or feeling unprepared to continue. Fear that you won�t have enough "fuel" to reach an important goal.
Example: A man dreamed of driving his car to a gas station. In waking life, this man was gay and becoming insecure about his sexuality during political arguments. He needed to seek out his gay friends for like-minded moral support to keep feeling confident about his sexuality while defending it. In this case, the need to go to a gas station may have reflected how emotionally draining it felt to have to keep defending homosexuality with such strong opposition. Hanging out with his friends and mentors helped him to reestablish his confidence.
Example 2: A young man dreamed of needing to go to a gas station. In waking life, his relationship with his girlfriend was getting boring and he felt the need to try new things to keep the relationship going.
Example 3: A man dreamed of being at a gas station and spilling gas while filling up the gas tank in his car. In waking life, he felt that he was living a dangerous excessive lifestyle which he was trying hard to maintain.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of having to visit a gas station. In waking life, she had the flu and felt the need to rest to restore her energy.
Example 5: A woman dreamed of seeing her boyfriend at a mechanic gas station. In waking life, she was comfortable keeping her current relationship going while secretly wanting to try talking to another man. In this case, the gas station in this case may have reflected her feelings about the work or effort to keep her current relationship moving forward.
