What does it mean to dream about riding a bus (dream interpretation bus)
Dream interpretation bus. Riding a bus belongs to the category of transportation. Means of transport in dreams symbolize how you move forward (and sometimes backwards) in your journey of life. The type of transport you use can be of great symbolic significance. When you in the dream is on a bus, it may symbolize that you live a very conformal life, in other words, you “go with the flow”, “do what other people do” etc. – but you don’t go your own way. It would be a different story if you were the bus driver! Or the driver of your own car.
We are all on a journey of life – en route to somewhere. In dreams, we often choose the mode of transportation, we would choose in real life like bus, train, ferry, car, airplane, bike etc. A bus journey can in this way be an expression of a shorter (and maybe more down-to-earth) movement/journey than for example a plane trip. Means of transport are used to take us from A to B – just like we would move from one place in our life to another; from child to adult, from having no kids to all of a sudden becoming a parent, but of course also our general development or “growth”. Dreaming about being on a bus can therefore mean several things.
A bus as a symbol of public transportation – and therefore an attempt to fit in “with the crowd”. As mentioned – if you dream that you are on a bus, it may symbolize that you live your life in an attempt to fit in. You go with the flow and would rather not stand out too much.
If this is a recurring dream, then there is a good reason to take a closer look at it. Additionally, you can dream that you are late for the bus, and that you struggle to catch it. In other words, you are struggling persistently – and unsuccessfully – in order to adapt to the demands of the world.
Such a dram can once again be an invitation to stop and ask yourself what you want in your life. A crowded bus in a dream can therefore be an image of an extreme sense of competition in the course of life (or career), you have chosen.
A bus in a dream as transport bringing you from A to B. Your bus journey can also simply be a symbol of you moving from A to B in your life. In this way, you can dream that you catch a bus going in the wrong direction – that is to say, your life is going in the wrong direction (or that parts of you want to go in one direction and others want to go in another, and you experience inner conflict).

NB: Dreams are 100% individual. When you’re dreaming you are on a bus, it probably doesn’t mean the same is happening in your life as it is in someone else’s. It is not a certainty that the interpretations above are relevant to you. An interpretation of a dream is only correct, if you can recognize yourself in it – if you really think “Yes, that’s me!”
I had several dreams of buses, some reoccurring and others not. First it was like the bus left me and it overturned. Then I started having several dreams of bus leaving me on the station and others I saw myself refusing to jump on a bus. Sometimes I dream that am on the bus but not moving. Now I had a dream of me stopping the bus which was almost leaving me, it stopped and climbed on. I sat on a front seat and was giving indications as the bus had no indicators. I was doing so by putting my hand out from the window to show people outside that the bus is turning. Please help me the meaning of this.
Help, I dreamt driving a bus, I wasn’t sure of where I was going, I couldnt see through the windscreen my friend was seated next to be and he would direct . The bus got out of control .later the bus summer like it was overturning and my friend just helped be to fix it
Had very vivid dreams of being on the bus, and the interesting piece was I had to be in the second row. I was insistent on having one person in front. I was by myself in the sit and we went to incredible places like the beach and snowy mountains. I spoke with my sister on the bus and some other nice men, everyone was nice but it was all about them. There were strange thing happening like a narrow road, a steep hill, people skiing and falling off their skis. One person required help and others jumped in and then he was fine and the bus kept moving along. It was acknowledged but not really delt with. We ended up off the bus at the most beautiful and pristine restaurants in the snow glades. I tried to talk to people on the bus but they didn’t respond. The waiter was insistent I choose a different plate to hurry us as we were last minute kindly added in. I read the bus interpretation and it is spot on

In my dream, I was sitting on a very very high seat in the bus. And I had to use almost 30 stairs to come down from that seat.
