Bus
To dream of a bus represents feelings about safely arriving at an outcome (goal destination in life) without any control over how long it will take. Feeling that you will have to experience a lot of "stops along the way" to finding a romantic partner or new job with no control over how long it will take. Feelings about the various experiences and lessons learned along the way toward a long-term goal or outcome. Your coping mechanisms for dealing with delays or setbacks in your life, revealing your approach to patience and acceptance.
Negatively, dreaming about a bus may represent a situation in your life that feels unpleasant or unbearable to need to be patient with waiting for goals or outcomes with many "stops or encounters" that don't matter to you personally. Unwanted disappointments or delays as you move towards your desired goals. A situation that isn't working out the way you wanted it to or feeling that some area of your life is taking too long. Complaints or frustrations about how long a goal is going to take to complete. Frustration regarding the pace of life or situations where the dreamer feels they lack agency. Wanting something to happen while not liking how long it will take.
To dream that you are waiting for a bus represents an awareness that delays, setbacks, or a long wait is at hand. You are waiting or preparing for an experience that you don't really want to have.
If you miss a bus it represents missed opportunities to deal with problems that require patience. You may missed an opportunity to get started on a problem that takes a long time or work to finish off.
To dream of chasing after a bus may be a sign that you are pushing yourself too hard to achieve short-term gains for a long-term project or plan. Unnecessarily pressuring yourself with something that you know will take a long time to finish.
To dream of a luxury bus represents feelings of comfort as you feel forced to patiently wait for an outcome or goal to happen. Feeling safe and professional about putting up with a long wait to achieve an outcome or goal.
To dream of a bus crash represents feelings of a major setback, failure, or an unexpected problem occurring in a situation where you were patiently waiting for a long-term outcome or goal to be reached.
Consider how close or far you are from the driver for additional meaning.
Example: A girl dreamed of yelling at a guy while riding a bus. In waking life, she felt rejected and frustrated with a guy she liked who wasn't responding or "getting" her signals. In this case, the bus reflected the unpleasant feelings she had about how long it was taking to meet someone she could fall in love with.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of getting on a bus and being told she was disgusting. In waking life, she had just been diagnosed with cervical cancer. In this case, the bus may have reflected the unpleasant feelings associated with waiting patiently to treat her illness.
Example 3: A man dreamed of standing in line to get on a bus and then watching the people in front of him get shot with a gun. The bus left, and he was uninjured. In waking life, he was waiting to undergo important long-term testing at work and witnessed his co-workers getting fired for incompetence before the testing began. In this case, standing in line to get on a bus may have reflected his anxiety about the possibility of being fired for being incompetent and needing to undergo a long unpleasant wait of job searching to get a new job.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of chasing after a bus. In waking life, she caught the flu while working at a magazine that was set to release its first magazine in a week. In this case, chasing after a bus may have reflected the dreamer's anxiety about catching the flu potentially making her lose out on a long-term opportunity at the magazine if they didn't finish the first magazine on schedule while sick. The bus may have also indicated that the magazine may take years of patience and work to make successful while she was overworking while sick.
Example 5: A man dreamed of being on a bus and seeing homes outside the bus being submerged in water, but he felt that he had to stay on the bus to remain protected. In waking life, he was an immigrant in the USA waiting for a full permanent visa. He felt bad for having to avoid family problems in his African home because getting a VISA was a top priority to help his entire family with their finances. In this case, the bus may have reflected his feelings about the long drawn-out wait to safely obtain his American VISA.
Example 6: A man dreamed of sitting at the front of a bus. In waking life, he was turned down for a promotion but was told he could wait for the position to open up again for reconsideration. In this case, sitting at the front of the bus may have reflected his feelings of being in a favorable position to eventually achieve his goal of a job promotion while needing to wait patiently for months or years for the opportunity to arise again.
Example 7: A woman dreamed of being on a bus. In waking life, she was waiting to move to another country which required her to slowly get her legal affairs in order before the move took place. In this case, the bus may have reflected the slow process of getting all her legal affairs in order so that she could be ready to move.
