Bus
Buses represent collective journeys, shared experiences, and the tension between individual choice and group direction. Missing a bus suggests missing out on a shared opportunity or falling behind a group schedule. Being on a bus means going where the group goes, which can represent conformity or community. A school bus specifically connects to learning and formative social experiences.
Flood
Flood dreams represent emotions that have breached their normal containment — feelings that are overwhelming and out of control. This can relate to grief, anger, love, or any intense emotion. Floods can also symbolize major life changes that sweep away the old and bring new circumstances.
