The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams

by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
The smell of gas in your dream was a warning to keep your nose out of other people’s affairs; seeing someone overcome by gas predicts news of a scandal; lighting a gas stove or other appliance is a suggestion to economize and avoid overextension of your credit; to see a gas fire burning in a fireplace or furnace indicates a pleasing social invitation; financial difficulties are forecast by a dream of anyone wearing a gas mask, and if you were wearing one yourself, you’d be wise to try to pacify your creditors before they cause you some real hardship.

To dream of a gasman reading your meter is a warning that you could be embarrassed by someone (probably a relative) making unauthorized or unwarranted use of your credit, so don’t be careless about such facilities.

A lighted gas lamp in your dream indicates a stroke of money luck; turning off a gas lamp or seeing one suddenly go out is a sign of coming disenchantment with a personal relationship.

Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation

by Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream of gas, denotes you will entertain harmful opinions of others, which will cause you to deal with them unjustly, and you will suffer consequent remorse.

To think you are asphyxiated, denotes you will have trouble which you will needlessly incur through your own wastefulness and negligence.

To try to blow gas out, signifies you will entertain enemies unconsciously, who will destroy you if you are not wary.

To extinguish gas, denotes you will ruthlessly destroy your own happiness.

To light it, you will easily find a way out of oppressive ill fortune.

The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
It is a symbol of transformative energy. To light or to cook with gas is an indication of satisfaction with the flow of everyday life’s events. However, dreaming of a gas explosion is interpreted as a warning against an impending danger. The dreamer may need to look around and determine what attitudes or circumstances are dangerous.
