My dream last night: I dreamt of my being a tram-driver.

I was dreaming that I had just started a job as a tram driver. I was new on the job. My brother was working there still too, but this was my first drive out on my own, in the tramcar. I went out to my tram, parked, in the driveway of the depot, and there was a lady manager there, who had parked her VW beetle car, right on the tracks, where I had to drive the tram through. I waited for her to shift her car, not saying anything to her, as I didn't want to upset anyone on my first drive out, especially, this lady, who had a reputation, for feistiness. She eventually shifted her car, and I drove out of the depot with the tram. On the large footpath area leading to the road, there was a lot of construction work going on there, and the tracks had been temporarily removed. There was a lot of loose dirt, and large clumps of clay, strewn around around there too. I kept driving, though, sans tracks, until I again went onto the tracks again on the road. I looked at my map, and it was so small that I couldn't see the names of the roads on it at all. I stopped my tram a bit further up the road, because I saw a tourist kiosk there on the side of the road. I bought a larger map off of them of this city, showing the roads that I was meant to take to get to my route destination. I had never driven this route before, so I had had hesitations about my being able to circumnavigate the route properly. I got back into my tram, but now I noticed that I was already a good fifteen minutes late, so I made a spontaneous, perhaps, also rash, decision. I just turned the tram around, (well, walked to the driver's cabin, at the other end, of the tram, in reality) and I went back to the depot with it. One trip short will make no difference to anyone I thought, and at least I am back on time. Maybe, with the slackness of the management here, this trip won't be spotted as not completed I thought to myself. (When I woke up later, I thought how stupid that dream was anyway, as I realised that I didn't need a map, because the tram is on tracks anyway, it's route is fixed, and guided by the signals already in place for it to move across the route in the right way. No navigation was required of the driver anyway) When I woke up, I was thinking that there seems to be a lot going in this dream, and I wondered what it meant for me. We are all on God's tracks, but sometimes we are blocked from some obstacle, or by something, or by someone, being in our path, or being placed there by someone, or even by ourselves, at times. Sometimes we have to manage for a bit with the tracks seemingly removed. We even have a map of sorts, that we think that we need, and some of us search all of our lives for a bigger map, and then we do not realise, that really, we are always on track with our journey, and we should just take it as it is, instead of always second-guessing, and even deciding not to take the journey at all, because however we take the journey it is still a journey, our journey, whether we think that we took it, or didn't take it, it's all the same to God, our journey always somehow completes itself in the end, one way, or another.
