Dear Marsha,
I had the following dream. What do you think it means?
I was driving in a van with my family to get to the airport. It was kind of dark. It was uphill. I was following a GPS and turned right.
At the top of the hill I stopped. I could see the airport ahead and below. The GPS said to “go forward” but I was at a cliff and if I went forward I would drive off the cliff. I knew I would be in trouble if I followed the GPS.
I woke up.
Signed,
G.S.
Dear G.S.,
I love GPS’s. Don’t know how I would get around in all the strange cities I find myself in, without them. But that is reality. Let’s look at this dream and look at the dream symbols metaphorically.
The symbols might be:
Driving = in control of/in charge of
Van= family unit
My family = your actual family
Airport = waiting while being made ready for ministry or work or a way of getting somewhere
Dark/dusk = often portrays “plans the enemy” has for you
Uphill = a struggle
GPS = Global positioning System, the logic of the world, the earthly (global) position
Cliff = destruction
If you put these symbols together in the dream, the dream is saying:
You are in control of a family situation/journey to get somewhere. It’s a struggle. If you take the earthly position it will be destructive (take you off a cliff).
The inference from this dream is that you need to use the “spiritual” position instead of the “earthly position in leading your family forward. Believe this is telling you to pray, ask ‘What would Jesus do?’, and go forward following Christ.
What a great dream!
