Vehicle Dreams

I have heard that the symbol of a vehicle in a dream often means ministry. That is what makes last night's dream so intriguing. In fact, I hadn't even remembered the dream until we were on our way to church and we came across a train that was passing in front of us.

The dream: I dreamt I was driving behind another car as it approached a railroad crossing. The gates were down at the crossing but the car in front of me went around them and tried to beat the train. The train consisted of a single engine which was speeding down the tracks, which screeched to a halt and missed the car. (I recall being amazed at this). Then, after the car left the scene, the engine immediately resumed its high speed (and sped up like a race car) and I was amazed at this too!

As it comes to interpretation, here is what I hear: The train is our ministry. Obstacles have come and we have slowed to avoid collisions (and possible injury to the parties). Now obstacles are gone. The ministry will resume to full speed very quickly!
