Dream Car Accident

[db407]

I dreamt my husband was driving down the street with myself as a passenger. The car did not get into the right gear and it was slowing down, I said to myself I hope not here as it was a dark section with no street lights and there was a graveyard just a few yards away. My husband tried to put it in the right gear and then he lost control, the car flipped twice and I was screaming at the top of my voice repeating the words " God help us" - I was saying this as we kept being tossed in sideways in the car, I could feel myself dying still screaming, There was a time when my husband was thrown to where I was , I tried to hold him but he got thrown back again. I did not hear him screaming at all in this. I felt I was dying could feel I was bleeding and I couldnt scream anymore.
The car we were driving is the dream is my Husband's current car a Silver 4 x4

Praying for protection for you & your husband just in case it is literal. Ps 91. My gut feel though is that it is a symbolic warning dream.

Is the waking hours car a manual? Was there a grating sound when he was trying to put it in gear?

Reading it symbolically, the car not getting into gear seems significant to me. When a car is in gear the power of the engine is engaged through to the the wheels to give forward momentum. In a manual the clutch is like a facilitator that enables the gears to be changed without causing damage to the gears. It prevents the grating sound which is like a clash.

Is your pastor trying to implement changes in your church at the moment? Your husband could symbolize the pastor taking you (the church) along the road the Lord has for the church. Momentum is so imortant for a church. If this starts to slow down because the pastor can't quite get the driving of the church into the right gear the journey of the church can stall where there is not so much light, or something more serious could happen such as an accident.

If your pastor is currently trying to implement change, there may be a grating or clash with some people resisting the change. Something you could pray for is facilitation, either in his approach or that another person eg associate pastor or external support, can help people adjust to the gear change. Another thing you could pray for is for the ability of the pastor to cast vision, so p[eople are looking forward thru the windshield to what is ahead. They are then likely to be less resistant & the gear change will be smoother.

The car not getting into gear, does seem to be the stand out feature. When we are in the wrong mode/gear, our life does become ineffectual and progress/advancement slows down.

Are you afraid that some decision or change (ie; the shifting of gears) that your husband is trying to facilitate in your lives will lead to a permanent negative ending (as pictured by the cemetery in the dream)...What do you fear right now that might end??..... your realtionship, or your own personal life as you now know it? I ask this because, you were trying to "hold on" to him and he was thrown another direction....and, you were out of control (screaming) and he wasn't (possibly revealing that he is not completely emotionally invested, or the other side of the coin is that He has more courage than you do in the biggerdramatic things of life.)

@Firewater,
Very brave of you to be out here right now dear brother. I am praying and thinking of you and yours.

Thank you all for your messages, the only thing I kind of fear at the moment is that I am a pastor in making (the day I had the dream I had just preached - I have done this before a couple of times). I am slightly beginning to accept my calling, I sometimes feel I am the wrong candidate for the job and I always get nerves, feel like I dont know the Bible than the other members. My husband does core help me for example by receiving offering when I am preaching and closing the ceremony.

Thank you all for your feedback. Much appreciated

The most comforting and upbuilding thing one can do, when they fear or feel that they may not be in the right position/ministry/job, is to seek God for another confirmation...in a sense, to put out another fleece. This always presses my own personal "reset" button and gives me a boost of confidence if the answer is "yes", if it is "no"....I move on to seeking Him for which way I should go. His plan is always better than mine. (Thank you Lord).

2 Corinthians 4:5-9
" For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."
