Transportation
Vehicles are one of the most common symbols in dreams:
In the bible, they used animals to represent ministries - arriving on a donkey meant to arrive in strength and peace. It also represented humility, a horse would represent a powerful ministry. In the bible, chariots were representative of powerful, prophetic ministries and were able to carry more than one person. Now ministries are fueled by the Holy Spirit - interpreted as oil (Matt. 25:3,4) so now the "vehicles' in our parables are no longer steeds and dappled horses but modern cars powered by oil (Holy Spirit).
