Dream, June 4, 2012
Several friends and family members and I are riding in a test, prototype vehicle from a major car manufacturer. The exterior of the vehicle, which looked like a van type auto, was normal, but the interior was not complete, and had temporary fluffy fabric on the dash and instrument panel. The instruments were not connected and did not work.
I open the compartments in the front dash and there are the instruments that are in fabric bags but not connected. On top of them was a loose, digital temperature gauge that I held in my hand and examined. It was not working or receiving any signals from the vehicle.
We start a journey in the vehicle with a man driving that is smiling and likeable, and he is driving very fast on a highway. Very suddenly he begins to drive the vehicle backwards or what looked like backwards. The front of the vehicle was still going forward, but now the driver was in the rear of the vehicle, sitting backwards and facing to the rear, and looking over his shoulder and steering with a steering wheel that was positioned and facing to the rear of the vehicle. He was smiling and laughing but putting everyone in the vehicle at risk.
Several in the vehicle began to tell him to stop driving like that, that he was endangering all of us. He did not respond, but just kept going faster. Some started yelling at him to stop, but he just smiled and laughed and kept driving faster.
He finally stopped the vehicle at what looked like a police barricade in the road, and now he was in the front driver’s seat of the vehicle in the normal driver’s position. He opened the driver’s window to talk with the uniformed officer that first asked him, “Why are you driving your vehicle backwards. We saw you driving very dangerously.” The driver, smiling and laughing, said he was not driving backwards, that the officer must be mistaken. Someone inside the auto asked him, “Why are you lying? Just tell the truth or we are all going to be in trouble.” The driver continues to deny how he was driving and lying to the officers.
The uniformed officer then said, “We are not the police. We are the window experts and technicians that check to see if the windows are working properly.”
Interpretation:
I think this is very self-evident in the dream.
The interior of the vehicle was fluffy fabric. Fluff indicating nothing stable, only temporary or immature and not complete while the exterior was complete.
The instruments not connected. The driver is not able to get proper feedback and information from those in the ministry that are supposed to do just that. They are capable of doing that, but have never been connected and have not been released or “unwrapped” and connected to the vehicle or ministry to do just that.
The temperature gauge is a digital sensor and is not working. This literally gives feedback whether it is hot or cold, whether the ministry is hot or cold. The ability to discern “hot”, or from the Holy Spirit, and “cold” from the enemy and not good, is a crucial gift that is not in place and not being used by the vehicle or ministry.
Passengers in the vehicle yell at the driver. Some members of the ministry get angry and emotional and confront the “driver”. The ministry lead is putting the ministry at risk with his lack of understanding of his role and compassion or desire to be a “safe” driver. The driver is being driven by personal ego satisfaction, smiling and laughing, having no sense of the seriousness of what he is doing and how he is leading. He is not capable of hearing or receiving feedback from others in the ministry and taking action on that feedback, he is “driven” by his own personal needs.
Stopped at a barricade by uniformed officers: The driver is questioned and lies about what he was doing. The barricade is divine intervention. It is being run by ministering angels that are over this ministry.
“We are not the police”. Angels do not police those that they watch over. They minister. They observe, and check to make sure the “windows” of the ministry are working correctly. Yes, the windows are. Everyone can see what is going on, and the angels want to make sure the windows, or capacity for seeing continue to work effectively. Those inside and outside, even though not released in their gifting for the building up of the ministry, or body, and providing feedback and information to the “head”, can still see what is going on. The windows work correctly.
