A few nights ago, I dreamt that I was with a friend on a trip. It seemed as if we may have both been in our early 20's. We were sitting at a standstill in big city traffic just in front of the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. My viewpoint changed to somewhere in the sky, and suddenly I could see a large section of the city. I could see the ground collapsing (actually disintegrating!) and all of the buildings falling away into the abyss created. It was moving rapidly in our direction. Suddenly, I was back in the car and knew that I had to drive as quickly as possible in the opposite direction. I turned around in quite a panic and noticed that the car's compass was reading the wrong direction. It created more anxiety making me question the direction I was driving. In other words, we were really driving south, but it read north. (or vise versa).
I think the collapsing ground symbolizes what men stand on. The building are the structures / houses men have built as opposed to that which God has built. They will fall away. It was approaching rapidly!!! I'm not sure about the compass reading the wrong direction. " Direction" makes me think that it may represent choices I will make or instruction. Perhaps the "compass" is what or whom we have received instruction in the past, but I know it isn't really correct. I'm not sure whom I was with. Many other times in dreams there is another person with me in a car, but that person is driving. I know it's the Holy Spirit. This time I was driving, and I knew it was a young man. Maybe it was still Ruach HaKodesh.
Below is an interpretation from my friend.
The dream involves worldviews, which is why your view changed from your car/road (path of your life) to from the sky (heavenly, panoramic). It was of collage age because it involves what is being taught to the youth in our secular humanist universities. Like many people, you were stuck in a standstill between two opposing worldviews, with people (traffic) on every side. The Smithsonian teaches abject evolutionary materialism, and many people are stuck on it. And if I remember correctly, they have a Darwin Day and have been caught in tug-of-war, promoting evolutionary pseudoscience and discriminating against I.D. scientists. Yet the bottom is about to fall-out beneath them, and they will have no foundation to stand on. Indeed, modern America has been constructed on evolutionary thought, and it lay beneath all our institutions, academies, politics, and businesses. I don’t know how escaping the pit can be the wrong way, but perhaps (1) when you were younger your inner compass was off, and you believed in evolution as presented? Or (2) maybe the Lord was showing you that the way of escape will be seen as the wrong way to others, and you will have some doubts? Or, (3) it could be that you escape, but God wants you to turn around and help others escape? Personally, I think it means that (4) God is going to change direction on the natural world. Perhaps people will have to go against the direction the world says it right, and God is going to turn all their ideas upside down, and we will witness it.
