Understanding the Disturbing Dreams of Buses
Dreaming about buses can evoke a range of emotions, especially when such dreams manifest as nightmares. In the realm of dreams, buses often represent our journeys through life, reflecting the paths we take and the companionship we encounter along the way. However, when these dreams turn nightmarish, they can reveal deeper concerns—such as fear, anxiety, or the sensation of being lost within our own lives.
Visuals of crowded buses or paths leading to unfamiliar destinations can amplify feelings of anxiety, making these dreams haunting. Buses in nightmares may symbolize moments where we feel overwhelmed, out of control, or uncertain about the decisions guiding us.
