A number of dreamers in Scotland have been sharing their dreams about impending fuel shortages. Due to a disagreement between the owners and the workforce, the refinery at Grangemouth will be closing for a two day strike.

When we dream about fuel, we are often dreaming about the source of our creativity and how our creative spirit can fuel our journeys of self exploration.  If that essence is in short supply, we may feel that our creative potential is being frustrated and our progress has come to standstill.

Although politicians have urged drivers not to panic buy, long queues have been forming at the pumps and some fuel stations are running dry.  While this may appear to media-fuelled mass hysteria, listening to the dreams gives a quite different perspective.

For the individual drivers and dreamers, filling up their fuel tanks is more of a silent protest at how a small group of people who should be serving them by refining and providing their creative inspiration have actually let them down.  However, in their dreams, the faces of the group who continue to disappoint and abandon them are not the refinery workers, but those of their political leadership.
