Who’s driving?
If it’s clear in the dream that the vehicle doesn’t belong to you, the dream could be providing insight into that person to whom the vehicle does belong. Don’t jump to the conclusion that the dream is extrinsic, or about that person. For instance, if you’re in a car that you know belongs to someone else, that dream is much more often speaking of how your relationship is affecting, negatively or positively, that person’s ministry or calling. So, it’s actually about you.
Are you driving his or her vehicle? If so, is it from the back seat or passenger seat? Where you are in the car and what you’re doing provides the important context for the dream’s meaning. How many of us know that the term “backseat driver” doesn’t only refer to someone barking out instructions on how to drive from the backseat? God uses this metaphor to reveal to us a need to control something entrusted to someone else. It’s a call to pray for that person and to ask God to change our need to control and trust that person’s journey to Him.
Driving from the passenger seat — if the context of the dream is positive — could indicate you are, or will be, helping that person to drive their vehicle during a stretch of time. What’s the outcome of you driving from the passenger or backseat? Who else is in the car? What do those people mean to you?
God, who sees you from eternity future, wants to help you in your ministry. He also wants to reveal blind spots in your relationship with others. He has made us with different gifts — the Apostle Paul calls us parts that make up the body. Why wouldn’t He give us help along the way to fit together?
Does anyone know if there is a distinction between dreams and night visions?
My Dream:
I was in a chinese type of canoe. Very ornate with a dragon head on each end. The Lord was in the canoe with me, seated behind me and was paddling us forward. We were in the Puget Sound, south of the space needle but paddling towards it. It was a clear calm day but there seemed to be some tension in the air. Suddenly 2 large snakes, like Boa constrictors, came towards us very fast, riding upon the water in an upright slithering movement. Not like water snakes slithering upon the surface but upright like this ~. As they came towards us, it was clear that they were not trying to attack but were trying to flee. As they came near, the Lord stood and chopped the first one up into many pieces with his sword. He the said “We eat snakes”. He let the second one pass.
Then I awoke. I turned on the news that morning and found that the chinese President and his wife were arriving that morning to visit Microsoft and Bill Gates.
Sometime later I was reading my Bible and came to this verse in Isaiah 27:1-4
At that time God will unsheathe his sword,
his merciless, massive, mighty sword.
He’ll punish the serpent Leviathan as it flees,
the serpent Leviathan thrashing in flight.
He’ll kill that old dragon that lives in the Sea.
“At that same time, a fine vineyard will appear….
Any idea what this all means?
I was standing in front of an ocean. It left its’ boundaries, and moved toward me. I ran into a building going up into the attic. The ocean rose up to me so I jumped out the attic window, and proceeded to climb a steep hill. The ocean rose up to me so I proceeded to climb up a mountain. As the ocean kept rising up to me or following me moving me upward, I saw an antique wood boat sitting on railroad trussel, and I climbed in the boat which the ocean pushed up higher into the mountain. I got out of the boat and proceeded to run upward on a mountain trail headed for the peak of the mountain. I saw another boat and jumped into it. The ocean pushed this boat to the peak of the mountain, and I was ushered or carried by the ocean into another ocean.
