I dreamed I was in my home, a spacious old house in a town called Enterprise. My two daughters and wife were there as well as many guests who I didn't know who were touring the house and visiting. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Some of us were in the living area in the south west part of the house and suddenly the floor under us started to split from one corner to the other and the ground began to shake. It was an earthquake so we quickly left the room. But the rest of the house was fine and the guests stayed in the unaffected part of the house and some of them offered to help repair the damaged area and started to clean up the mess.

Two of the guests, an older couple wanted some milk. The man said his wife, who was feeble, needed it to help regain her strength. My father-in-law, a dairy farmer, was in the house and he offered to allow him to get some fresh milk for his wife from the cows he had in the barn. The man was grateful and went to milk the cows to get it. But when I talked to my father-in-law who was in the dining area after the man got the milk he told me that the man had milked the cows dry so there would be no more milk. He was disappointed the man had stripped the cows dry and not left any for others.

After this I checked on my younger daughter who was in the bathroom on the south east side of the house next to the damaged living area on the south west. She was ok, and so then I checked on my older daughter who was in the living area that had been damaged but had been cleaned up and partly restored. As I was looking in on her the room started to shake again this time much more violently and the block wall on the north side of the room was about to fall on her. We made it out before it fell, back to the unaffected part of the house. I blurted out to my family and guests that this second quake was far worse than the first and covered a large area, killed many people and knocked out communications and utilities. Because communications were out we wouldn't know the full extent of the damage right away.

The scene changed and next I dreamed I was an employee for a railroad company. It was time for the train to leave but I was busy with other things. I thought when the train pulled out I would see it starting to roll and would jump on board. But when it started to pull out it went faster than I expected and I desperately ran after it expecting to jump on board. I seemed to be gaining on it but just before I could jump on some obstacle would stop me from making it on board and make me fall behind it again and I would have to run as fast as I could to catch up again. This happened a few times until finally the train entered a shopping mall and as I was about to catch it a mall employee with a long carrying rack came along side the train in the opposite direct so that again I couldn't get on board. This time the train got so far ahead that I lost sight of it. I thought I knew where it was going and still ran after it but I wasn't able to catch up or find it. All of this time that I was chasing the train I was concerned that I would be fired by the railway for not being on board at my post.

Partial Interpretation. See what you think:

Regarding the earthquake dream, Enterprise is a small town in Ontario where I used to live. The house in the dream symbolizes the North American economy (Enterprise). The first earthquake in the south west corner represents a fore-shock possibly in southern California. The second, much larger quake represents the main shock. It will have a major effect on the economy (Enterprise). I'm not sure if the quakes are literal or symbolic but more likely literal.

The man who took all the milk represent a coming dearth, literal and/or symbolic. If literal it could point to food shortages or it could represent the collapse of the health care system, it's inability to cope with the needs of the feeble.

The train is the gospel train that is pulling out of the station. I'm the employee who is not on the job sharing the gospel like I should be as it leaves. Rather than being on board at my post, I find myself running to catch up. But obstacles keep getting in the way. The gospel train soon enters a shopping mall to warn the people not to take the mark in order to buy or sell. At this point when I should be on board and warning everyone not to receive the mark it becomes very hard for me to get on board. The mall employee puts a barrier in front of me and rather than pushing it aside and jumping on board, I lose sight of the train and am no good to my employer. The lesson is get on board now, make that leap of faith now and actively share the gospel. Reach out to your family and neighbors, to everyone within your circle of influence to bless them physically and spiritually and stay on board as the train enters the mall.
