I had a dream that I was on a city bus riding downtown for about 6 loops. I get off the bus and meet up close friends and classmates from high school. They were going to a really nice party and we're dressed up. I had on jeans and a shirt so i didn't want to go but I was upset no one told me. As I walked down the street I ended up asking my ex for a ride with his friends but he said they couldn't. After that I walked some more and ended up on a bus again with another friend. I was sitting next to a guy i used to work with but he had taken my phone because he said I ignored him at the job. "Not true by the way" Once I struggled to get my phone back I got off the bus and walked a little ways until these two young men knocked my phone from my hand and preceeding to attack me. I started to scream and woke up screaming
Dreams can often be symbolic and reflect aspects of our subconscious mind and emotional state. In this dream, riding the bus in a loop could represent feeling stuck or going around in circles in some aspect of your life. Meeting up with old friends from high school may indicate a desire for connection or nostalgia for the past. Feeling underdressed for the party could symbolize feelings of inadequacy or not being included. Interacting with your ex in the dream may suggest unresolved feelings or issues related to that past relationship. His refusal to give you a ride could reflect a sense of rejection or isolation. The moment on the bus where your former colleague takes your phone may symbolize feelings of betrayal or mistrust in your waking life. The attack at the end of the dream could indicate feelings of vulnerability or fear in your current situation. This may be a manifestation of underlying anxieties or stresses that are causing emotional turmoil. Overall, this dream may be prompting you to examine your feelings of disconnection, unresolved past issues, and fears. It could be beneficial to reflect on these themes and consider ways to address any underlying emotions or conflicts in your waking life.
