The Hidden Dangers of Following the World’s Ways

The Hidden Dangers of Following the World’s Ways
In my dream I was driving behind a really tall truck and couldn’t see the traffic light until I was going through it. The truck ran a red light, and I followed because I couldn’t see it. I was glad no cars were coming when I realized it was red. Then I was at McLaren. I was wearing a Louis Vuitton leather jacket. It was the same print as my purse, it was really ugly. I walked into the surgery center entrance, but it looked like it was the old ER. It was dark and the halls were empty. It looked like it was under construction. The walls were broken down to the studs. I didn’t know where I was going. Then I saw Dr. Barnosky, and I started following him. He didn’t know I was following him. He walked outside, but he was walking too fast, and I couldn’t keep up, then he was gone. I entered McLaren through the main entrance. Then I was sitting at a large rectangular table with a group of people. I don’t know who the people were. I felt like it was my church group, but I didn’t recognize any of the people. There was a server bringing food to the table. I had a large glass of orange juice in front of me. The glass looked orange, like it was full of orange juice, but when I tried to drink it, it had too much ice and I couldn’t get a drink. I started removing ice with a spoon. I got all the way to the bottom and realized there was less than a sip of juice in the glass, not even enough to drink. Then the server brought me a salad. The salad was full of tomatoes and big pieces of red and green peppers. I started removing the peppers, and realized there was only a tiny piece of lettuce in my salad bowl, not even enough to eat. I then realized there was nothing for me, the meal was over. I asked for a separate check because I didn’t get to eat or drink anything. I didn’t want to split the bill with everyone else at the table because I was still hungry and thirsty, and I was feeling annoyed. I asked for a separate check, but the server refused to give me one. Then my alarm woke me up.

The dream begins with the dreamer driving behind a tall truck, unable to see the traffic light until it’s too late. This represents the dangers of blindly following the ways of the world, which may seem appealing and trendy but can lead to disastrous consequences. The dreamer follows the truck as it runs a red light, symbolizing the temptation to follow the crowd even when it goes against God’s laws. Thankfully, no harm comes to the dreamer, but this serves as a warning to be cautious and discerning in following the world’s ways.

The dream then shifts to the dreamer arriving at McLaren, wearing a Louis Vuitton leather jacket with the same print as their purse. This represents the desire for material possessions and the temptation to find worth and identity in them. The dreamer enters through the surgery center entrance, but it looks like the old ER, symbolizing the need for spiritual healing and transformation. The broken walls and construction represent the need for God to rebuild and renew our hearts and minds.

The dreamer sees Dr. Barnosky and follows him, but he walks too fast and disappears. This symbolizes the fleeting nature of worldly success and the danger of chasing after it. The dreamer then enters through the main entrance, representing the importance of entering through the narrow gate of salvation through Jesus Christ.

The dream ends with the dreamer sitting at a table with a group of people, possibly representing the church. The server brings food, but the dreamer’s glass of orange juice is mostly ice and the salad is mostly peppers, leaving the dreamer feeling unsatisfied and annoyed. This represents the emptiness and disappointment that comes from seeking fulfillment in worldly things. The dreamer asks for a separate check, but is refused, symbolizing the inability to find true satisfaction and fulfillment apart from God. This dream serves as a reminder to seek God’s ways above the ways of the world, for only He can truly satisfy our hearts and souls.
