Oil

Symbol: Oil is a symbol of the spirit of God and the strength flowing from it.

Vision: Looking at oil: everything is going smoothly (is “well oiled”). Burning oil: an unexpected windfall. Drinking oil: you are enjoying the best of health. Spilling oil: dealing with a string of unpleasant experiences. Oiling something: a reminder that courtesy will always get you further in life. Buying oil: you can expect to make a profit.

Depth Psychology: Oil can be a symbol of many things, among them being anointed with oil as a sign of maturity. Sometimes oil suggests avoiding friction and arguments—”pour oil on troubled waters!” Pouring oil onto the fire would mean emotions are “ignited.” Pouring oil: are you hoping to foil your enemies’ attack by having them “slip and fall”? Only you know the truth!

To dream of an oil field or of striking oil forecasts the pleasant jingle of approaching money, which is also the case if you dreamed of having it on your person or clothing.

Oiling machinery is a sign of recognition in your field of endeavor or in community affairs.

Buying oil predicts a happy improvement in love (or domestic) affairs but selling it suggests an inclination to cooperate in a questionable proposition—resist it!

Spilling oil indicates that you will soon have to “pour oil on troubled waters.

Oil

Oil can lead to different interpretations. For example, if it is in the middle of your path, it indicates an impediment. Consequently, you will have to be careful to avoid “slipping” in situations you are immersed in.

If, on the other hand, you are anointed with this substance it means that you have received exceptional knowledge that enables you to succeed in the particular circumstances in the dream. Oils are also used in perfumes and massages in order to care for and improve our skin, thus, it may refer to sensuality.

In traditional wisdom, if a man dreams that he is an oil trader he will become very rich. However, he will never be lucky in love.

Oil

Wealth, “striking oil.” Fuel produces energy, as in Coal.

The image of oil today also refers to environmental pollution. In addition to something dirty and destructive at work here, oil also has a capacity for healing: the ritual of oil offered to the dying, for example, a cleansing and strengthening function. We also think of oil change in a car, where clean oil is said to make for a more efficient engine.

The dream image, therefore, stands between pollution and cleansing.This is particularly appropriate, since “oil and water do not mix.

Do we need to pour oil on Water in order to smooth out the waves of emotions?

Oil

Oil was once plant life; it comes from deep within the earth and holds the ancient energy of the sun in its structure. Oil has an enormous number of uses today, from fueling the modern world to providing the lubricant necessary for machines to run. As a symbol, it may relate to any number of these fundamental uses as the basis for functioning in a more powerful way. Oil is also a symbol for wealth and riches and a measure of abundance. Keep in mind that when oil is used as fuel, it has great consequences for the environment, and this darkness is built into its symbolism as the darker side of abundance.
