Bus Dream Meanings

Dreaming Lens: Were you riding a bus? Were you driving one? What type of bus was it? Were you waiting for a bus? Had you missed your bus? Did the bus crash? Who else was on the bus with you? How did you feel about riding the bus?

Personal Focus: As with any mode of transportation, a bus connects with one’s path through life. When you ride a bus, you turn the reins of control over to another, take a seat and go along for the ride. Relinquishing the driver’s seat is an important point to examine, as your comfort level in the dream will help deepen your interpretation. Positive reactions to riding a bus may point to the well-being that can accompany letting go of control. A negative experience may point to resistance to such surrender.

Given that most bus rides are associated with public transportation, the symbolic meaning of your dream may connect to paths in your life that you share with others in your community. Consider who else was on your dream bus for clues to what area of your life is being illuminated.

The type of bus offers shades of meaning. A school bus may indicate regression to an earlier mentality, whereas a public transit bus could point to a need to follow a course that requires being patient with the paths of others. A private bus, such as a tour bus, may indicate levels of abundance and the need to gather large creative resources for future use. However, if the bus was used in place of a car, feelings of lack and limitation may be indicated. If you were not actually riding the bus in your dream, the meaning you give your interpretation should explore this. If this is a bus you should have been on, you might want to consider what obstacle or resistant thought is keeping you from moving more effectively on your life path.

The dream has very specific meaning depending on the individual’s experiences on school buses, public transportation vehicles, special family trips, etc. At times the content of the dream may be more important than the actual setting.

If the setting is secondary, then examine the other details of the dream more closely. However, if the bus and/or the bus ride was a focal point of the dream consider the value that it holds for you. Does this dream say something about your ability to fit in and join a group effort, project, or trip? Do you function well in group settings? Are you a leader or a follower in such situations, and what is your comfort level? This dream could also reflect a part of your life (or the journey of your life) which involved many other people who seemed to be on a same path. It could be your family, friends, schoolmates or co-workers.
