last night:

I'm living in a strange house. It's small, like a camp. The backyard contains a high steep hill. On this hill is a train that resembles one from a roller coaster. It has gone off the tracks and all the passengers have left the site. I assume they left to wait for repairs.

One odd thing is---the train stops at the edge of the cliff. If they proceed, the train will fall and crash. A female passenger raps on my door and is crying that she forgot her boots in her car, which is parked outside, and her feet are freezing. I invite her in to warm up her feet.

Then it is announced that the train is back on track. Hordes of people climb aboard. It's like they all come out of nowhere.

Then the scene switches and I'm sitting in a classroom. A lecturer is relaying a bible story from the Book of Clark. As the teacher reads, my eyes divert to the next story titled "Does God Like Assholes?" I see a picture of a dwarf throwing rocks with questions such as "How can we show an asshole God's love?"

Could it mean that some plan went off track and then went back on track because you decided to do things in an orderly / sequential manner (the train)?

The female passenger could be you seeking comfort from the winter which leads me to the second part of the dream.

Are you seeking comfort of some kind? Seeing a dwarf could mean feeling dwarfed or inferior. Seems like you are feeling insecure and searching for comfort from God. Does the name Clark remind you of someone or something? Not sure if it means anything at all though.

Any of this resonate with you?

thanks for the reply Pooja.

The part about the train does resonate. I prefer the comfort of being "on track" and fear "losing ground." These are fears that go way back and are ongoing. I work to keep my head above water and worry about going in dept.

While re-reading the dream, I'm reminded of a famous song from the 1960's called "Last Train to Clarksville." This resonates too. Perhaps this is where the name came from--the train. It could also be from a war analyst I saw on tv before the dream named Wesley Clark.

As for the bible lessons about god, I think it's related to some research I've been doing about a new movement here in the U.S. to have bible curriculum in public schools.
