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.

When trying to understand your dreams it is important to know that your dreams are… your dreams. As such, you are the best person to figure out the true meaning of your dreams.
However, it is important to learn how to generally approach your dreams. Dream dictionaries like this one are only a supplement, and if you want to fully utilize the potential of your dreams, you should start at a different place.
My online course “Unlock your DREAMlife” gives you a great foundation for understanding (and recalling) your dreams.

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 dreamed that while I was at home I saw a tiger 🐯 heading where my little brother was then I tried to send him a gesture so that he could run but he started to run it saw him and chased him and he was afraid and I run towards them and immediately it stopped chasing my brother instead it chased me and besides there was a brother of ours laughing to us.
Last night I dreamt I was somewhere with a group of people sitting down waiting in a buiding.The people I was mostly amongst was men. I recognize and know few of the men, one was a indian. My daughter, Omeilia is an indian. She was with me at the time and she came and whispered to me that she wanted to pee. I however sent her by herslf to pee AND then all of a sudden I was in a bus.
The bus drive off from where myself and other people where waiting. There were passengers on the bus and I was seated and seemed comfortable. I had pass a bend and was looking through the window when I saw a lady along the roadside putting her son to pee but further on I saw omeilia (my daughter) just finishing Pee and pulling up her clothes.
Suddenly realising i was about to leave her I got up from my seat when i saw her but the bus was still moving. I stuck my head through the window and called out to her. She saw me and looked as if She was about to cry. I shouted for her to “run, run come baby, run come towards the bus”. Other passengers started to shout for her to run too. She started to run but being a little girl she couldn’t keep up with the speed of the bus. The bus was coming out of a lane and into another but add to stop and wait to see if there was any other traffic coming. Seeing that I was about to leave her i called out to the driver saying that he should stop the bus for me to pick her up but then I woke up from my sleep.
Can you please tell me what this dream means? Am really scared and don’t know what to make of this dream.
I dreamt that i was in the bus going home leaving my boyfriend behind (i forgot about him that he was with me in the same tour tho we went there by car). i simply got in the bus and leave…woke up..there he was simply sleeping beside me.
I had a dream last night. I was riding a bus with a friend. I think we did go explore the city but the thing is I didn’t know that my father was with us all along. I just realized it at the end of the dream when we were riding the bus to go back home. Me and my friend just enjoying the view in the bus then my father got up and said “Take care. I’ll be back in three days.” then he just leave the bus. I don’t know what it means but I think understand that my friend and I have been craving to go to an adventure because it’s been a while since we had one. But the thing with my father being there. I have no idea what it means. Please help me understand my dream. Thank you.
Someone help me interpret this dream!!! I got on a bus but I didn’t recognize anyone I knew. Then after a while of going to a destination that I wasn’t clear of I realized the bus only had one colum of seats instead of the regular two!! And then I woke up…what could this mean?
I dreamt that were picked by accompany and on the first Day we were asked to send the workers to their various destination which we did with no training on how to handle the bus since itwas our day of driving that bus and on the seco nd day we were asked again to send the same team back home but with sick person with very smelling saul (wounds) sitting on the key which l was told that is his usual place of sitting so l have to try and send them home. I did all l could to start bus and move out of the yard but the bus was not starting cos of the sitting position of this man and when l asked the one in charge about the problem they told me l have to do my part. I tried and spark the bus but the Bus quench fire and was told it was a fuel shortage.
My Bus/Celebrity Dream: I was on a night bus and another bus passed us going the opposite direction; I could see the faces inside, and one was Audra Day (singer). She knowingly smiling or winked at me and in a second, the interaction was over. I turned to the people on my bus and asked, “Do you know that was Audra Day?”, no one responded, I asked a couple more times, and they just shrugged. I felt special that she saw/knew me but confused and angry no one noticed her. She is not my favourite singer, I actually think she embodies a few reallly bad singing techniques and can be hard to listen to, but other times, I am totally moved by her performances. I am a singer (actually was a serious (multi) instrumentalist for 15 yrs, but now trying to focus on singing in recent 7 years, because Ive been advised to by so many people and I enjoy getting better at this thing that awed me my whole life but I also have some bad techniques)….Im kind of at a cross roads in my life, career-wise, and wondering if this dream is my subconscious telling me I should, or that I shouldn’t focus on singing! ?!?
I have dreamed of a bus, on which I travel. The bus is crowded but I am sitting on my seat very comfortably but one thing is strange is that when bus stop for refreshment and after completing my personal work I came back to the bus but now bus look strange to me, different seat texture, atmosphere. Someone said you take the wrong seat and direct me toward my seat which I need to take stare but these stares look so different and after taking stares I saw the fire, lave just look like I coming to hell! I feel so strange but bus conductor shows me the direction of my seat. Tell me the meaning of this dream.
I dream i was on a bus coming or going somewhere not sure but i was on the bus sitting then all of a sudden the bus come off the road drive up a piece of hill the bus drop on the front and back on the four wheel without no damage to it before the bus fall i don’t know how i got out the bus but i was on my knee out side with some of the passagers watching the bus fall while some of them i did not see its like they disappear the driver was OK too when i find myself on my knees i stay to say thank you Jesus then i wake up.
The bus is the most reoccurring symbol on my dream. I ride it, drive it, miss it, get on the wrong one, don’t have the right fair, put my child on one, avoid one with a crazy driver. I didn’t even notice how common it was until I had an dream app that shows me reoccurring words. And then I looked and there was one in almost every dream. I grew up in Manhattan so we always used to ride the bus everywhere… It does seem to symbolize trying to get somewhere (with my life) but having difficulty with the details. That would make sense because I’m ADHD and those details: time, fare, directions are good symbols for the small details that can ruin your day off you forget something

In my dream my bf was driving the bus and I was a passenger in it. Most of the passengers looked like his friends to. The journey was supposed to be short but we were in the bus for a long time. Never got there though. Later I found myself out of the bus looking for another bus which was going to the same destination.
I had a dream that a guy was guiding me on how to ride a bus. In that dream, I felt like he was like a boyfriend because I would cling to him throughout the bus ride. In that dream, I had to take two 2 busses to get to school (I think that’s my destination because I was thinking on how I can use my time in the bus to study) and he was showing which busses to take and what direction. I think I had a few bus rides with him and then I asked him if him and I would stay forever and he told me “ECF” and he said that the F stood for Forever and that’s when he said we are not forever. He gave me the ring that he was wearing. I told him to not leave me because I have never ridden a bus alone going to an unfamiliar place (I checked a paper in my dream and it listed a place that I’ve never been before but idk what it is in real life). And then my alarm went off.
Hi,
Today I had a dream of traveling in a bus with my younger sister. The journey was happy and usual. The destination was also a familiar place. When we boarded, there were so many people in that bus. At one stop, everyone except us (me, my sister & the driver) got down. I was little surprised by that. After that it was a calm journey. When we reached our destination, we stepped out from a train and not from a bus. What does this dream mean? I hope that you will read this comment and reply. Thanks in advance.
Hi ,I had a strange dream about air planes wich carried a bus ,and finally one of them took off in the street,I read about airplanes which means overcome of my obstacles,and bus which means going with flow …

Ok soooooooo last night, I dreamed I was pregnant, I was also dating some guy name DeAndre Avery D. ( yeah real specific name, can’t fully remember the last name tho.) but he loved me and was a good guy, just not the most financially stable, so I was catching the bus, taking to the bus driver lady and she telling me stuff, I can’t remember tho. But my kids were all with me, I wasn’t in Birmingham. Idk what city I was in but I was going to Rapids Rd. That’s where we lived. Then, I woke up. 🤷🏾♀️
