What an illogical dream?
Question by amitsutar: What an illogical dream?
Another dream for my yahoo answers dream journal.
I dreamt of this sleeping late in the afternoon (working in the night shift). I somehow found it illogical. Please help make sense.
_________________________________________________
I dreamt that I was running on the road trying to catch a bus to Goa (my holiday destination in the dream). I found a white bus parked by the side of the road with some crowd. I ran towards the same thinking I would miss my bus. I had 2 bags; one backpack and one briefcase type bag in the hand. I got into the bus and kept the briefcase type bag in the bus. The backpack was still with me.
(Now, this might sound little crazy and illogical). Then I dreamt of another bus coming from behind (on the left side of my bus) and it moved right next to our bus. I don’t know, I felt like a big cupboard sliding from the back of my bus towards the front along the speed of other bus (I clearly remember there were seats in the bus then how can a big cupboard slid?). I jumped on it and warned a person right ahead. He at the last moment jumped on the seat right at the front end of the bus and to saved and he thanked me.
Well, my bus started, moved along the main road and took a turn. It had to take on more passengers so it stopped for a while. I got down with my backpack (leaving the suitcase in the bus) to take a stroll.
I got a call on my cell from a girl who was strange to me. She said she was coming along too but can’t find me where I was and mentioned she was on the same road though. I asked her what she was wearing, she told me pink shirt and a black pant with a carry bag. I thought I saw her (same description and speaking on her cell phone looking lost) and waved my hand and asked her to turn towards me on the phone (90 degrees to her left,, but instead, she went straight and disappeared in the empty street, the voice on the cell said that she still can’t see me. Seems that though the description was same I was looking and speaking to 2 different girls.
Well, alone, then, I moved back to where the bus was standing and found it gone. I had to act quick and choose one of the 2 options:
a. The bus, before stopping was going to take a turn (I got down early for the break). So, I could check there to see if it had stopped)
b. Since it was just about time, go to the main road parallel to the road mentioned in “a” because I might have just missed and would be able to catch the bus by following it in the cab.
I took option b and ran to the main road. I did not remember the bus number but knew how it looked like (milky white bus with pink color towards the middle dividing the bus into fore and the aft part). I saw one such bus and ran towards it, but it turned out to be a small truck with similar appearance (too cute to be a truck). The driver looked out and he was a military man (much too fancy to be a military truck). I asked him for a lift down the road and he gave me a lift.
I climbed at the back of the vehicle where there were 2-3 military soldiers standing in their camouflage uniform. One asked me what was the problem and I told him I missed the bus and had 1 bag in the bus.
He heard the same and started laughing loudly telling the others, “hey look, he has lost his bag and doesn’t know which bus he was traveling in.”

Then, (not in my dream) my phone rang and I woke up, attended the phone call and slept back hoping to continue my dream, instead, I dreamt of something else…..
I saw an old lady in white saree (or consider a own, whatever you understand), lying down (I could see her upper half only) and she was smiling at me. The smile appeared genuine and sincere.

Please analyze! I have begun the habit of remembering dreams and I really find them crazy unless your answers make some sense in this entire event.

To dream that you are waiting for a bus, indicates a temporary setback in achieving your personal goals. If you miss the bus or get on the wrong bus, then it indicates that an aspect of your life is out of control. You need to slow down and map out a new plan.
To dream that you are at the bus station, suggests that you have reached some new level or stage in your emotional or physical life.
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.

Any vehicle is forward progress a bus (in my life) is the way to education. You are still on the path seeking but there seems to be a little fear and confusion. White is usually considered spiritual and the fact that the bus was almost white may mean that you are still on your path but are afraid to go forward.
The woman in the sari may be your dream guide again smiling and encouraging you to continue.
You appear to be doing well, just going slowly. You will learn your lessons and not forget them.
Ignore those soldiers in the back of the truck. They are in the same place you are but you will again be the driver when you let go of that baggage. Your concern for your luggage rather than the surroundings that will keep you safe suggests that you are holding on to something you should be letting go. If you consider your daily life the ‘baggage’ may become obvious.
Good luck.
Keep writing your dreams down you should see a pattern.
