What does it mean when you dream of riding the bus?

Answer 1

There is not enough information to provide a reliable interpretation. If the dreamer sees the father leaving on the bus, with the dreamer left behind, it suggests that the dreamer is beginning to accept the reality of the father's death and is making progress through grief. If your father is long dead, and you have long since made this peace, but dream of your father on a bus, he is headed somewhere - or returning from somewhere, or going away from somewhere. The significance of that to you is something that requires thought on your part. The answer is in your subconscious - or you wouldn't have dreamed it. Think about it at bedtime. It is likely the answer will come to you in a dream vivid enough to actually wake you up.

Answer 2

someone you love or know or you do not know who or even yourself will get hijacked.

If one thinks carefully about the question, it is fairly clear that this is not a dream that ought to be taken as a literal prediction of any event. Throughout the world, some sort of bus probably is hijacked every week or so, certainly every month. One can see that it would be impossible to have this dream without some bus, somewhere, being hijacked in the relatively near future. 100% chance of this dream coming true.

> So, a much more reasonable interpretation is to look as this bus hijacking as a metaphor of something going on in the dreamer's own life. For example, perhaps the dreamer has been planning a vacation trip (by bus?) to a wonderful resort, only to find out that the work schedule has been changed and that trip is now impossible. The dream of the hijacked bus would be the perfect metaphor expressing the dreamer's disappointment and anger. Another example might be the cancellation of some project the dreamer worked on, or some desired assignment or relationship that has been snatched away by someone else. It is the dreamer's challenge to figure out how the emotions of the dream correspond with something similarly upsetting in the dreamer's own personal life.

Answer 3

Cows in dreams are often interpreted as the feminine aspect, caring, nurturing, willingness to put the needs of others before your own. It could alternately mean you feel you are being taken advantage of.

Busses, or public transportation are interpreted by Jung as the dreamer being too conformist.

This may be your subconscious urging you to become more indipendent. If you are seeing double-decker buses, it could be that there are several layers to your problems and you may have to look at them from different angles to resolve them.

Answer 4

A taxi ride would symbolize different things to different individuals. To someone from a large city where taxis are common, the dream might represent nothing more than a casual outing, with no particular significance. In contrast, if the dreamer lives in an area where taxis are rarely used, the dream might symbolize a remarkable extravagance, indicating a desire to travel in style or to be seen and admired as a person of status.

Answer 5

To dream that you are riding a bus, implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and are taking no control over where your life is taking.
