I have been looking to get back to work in some capacity. I have been out of work and on Social Security Disability for 7 years now. I asked the Lord to show me what to do next. Then I had a dream the other night:
“I had just finished some kind of rehab program.
It ended.
I went outside. It I couldn’t find my car
I couldn’t it go home.
I felt like I was in Oregon – it was a strange place with lots of trees and trails.
I had some of my rehab friends take me to the police station I reported my car stolen.
We went back to the rehab center, but I couldn’t stay. I had graduated.
We had lunch.
It came time to go. the center was closing.
I had nowhere to go.
I asked if I could sleep in someones car, they said no.
I asked someone if I could stay over for a few days. They said no.
They took up a collection for me.
I walked out of the building with no car, no way to get anywhere. And no place to go.
I didn’t know where to go, so I went back to the hotel where they found me.
I told myself maybe my car was there, well that’s what I told myself anyway.
My car wasn’t there either. By that point I had already given up. So I went back to using.”
Next I looked up biblical interpretations of this dream:
- Dreams of forest: Biblical interpretations of dreaming of a forest often represent a “wilderness” season of trials, preparation, or spiritual transition, signaling a journey toward a promised land or, if lost, a need for spiritual direction. It can symbolize the subconscious mind, deep hidden emotions, or a state of confusion. Depending on the dream’s details, it may also indicate a need for, or a disruption in, one’s spiritual growth.
- Dreams of a car: Biblically, a car in a dream often symbolizes one’s life journey, personal control, ministry direction, or the speed at which one is moving toward a destination. It acts as a vessel for God’s message regarding destiny, with its condition—working, broken, new, or old—representing the current state of the dreamer’s spiritual or waking life.
- Dreams of Rehab: A biblical interpretation of a dream about rehab often symbolizes a season of spiritual healing, transformation, and divine restoration rather than just a fear of relapse. It reflects God’s work in renewing the mind, changing desires, and shifting focus toward Him. Such dreams can indicate God is dealing with root issues, inviting the dreamer to lay down burdens, and building a new, secure future.
So, I guess I am in a season of God healing root issues so I don’t return to the life I had before Jesus. I want to go forward, but there are still areas of my heart that need to be healed in order to move forward. What do you think?
