Bus stop
A bus stop is a small pause between where you've been and where you're headed. You wait there with strangers, each heading somewhere different, and the dream tends to show up when one routine has ended and the next hasn't begun. A bus that pulls up right away is a sign that things are lining up for you. Standing at a stop in an unfamiliar town can mean you're still learning how a new place works. Sitting at a stop long after dark can feel a little lonely, or it may just show how much you'd like to be home.
Also called: Bus shelter, Bus station, Waiting for the bus
Dream variations
The bus never comes
Something you've been expecting is running very late. Check the schedule again, or think about setting off on foot.
Talking to a stranger at the bus stop
A short, chance conversation could matter more than it seems. Be open to people you'd usually walk past.
A bus stop in the rain
You're putting up with discomfort while you wait for a change. Find some shelter in the meantime, like a friend, a hot drink or a small treat.
A bus stop far from any town
You're out on your own, with nothing familiar to lean on. That can feel scary, and it can also be a clean slate.
