I saw some Buddhists in my dream. Me and some 3 people go to some other world. Not through space. Something like a spell or gateway that we can go to another world. The person one in that 3-person group is my co-worker. Person 2 is a girl. I don't know who she is. I don't know who is person 3. Even I don't know if they are male or female. One night we four of us go to another world, as I mentioned before. We can't return to our own world because the time was finished before we came. Me and that girl travel by bus without taking tickets, and we both got off the bus at a railway station. We use the lift to go to the to the subway. Also, we didn't take a railway ticket. We were waiting for the train. Many people are also waiting like us. Suddenly all are gone except that girl, and someone like Buddhists comes and says the last train is gone. I said to that girl that, well, then we have to go to the next train. That may come in the morning. The Buddhists said you can't go back. That moment we remember we were in another world. That Buddhist took us his place. There I know another two guys stuck there like us. One of those guys is my co-worker. I don't know who is another person. Then the Buddhists showed around his place. That place is like heaven. No one was competing with others to be number 1. No one has jealousy of others or anxiety, depression, etc. After some time, we decided to find a way to go back to our real world.
Dreams often draw upon personal experiences, beliefs, emotions, and cultural symbols, and interpreting them can be subjective. Your dream featuring elements of travel to another world, Buddhists, and themes of searching for a way back can carry several meanings:
Journey and Transition: The journey to another world can symbolize a transition or transformation you are experiencing in your waking life. This may relate to personal growth, changes in your thoughts or feelings, or a quest for deeper understanding. The presence of a “gateway” suggests that you are open to new experiences and ideas.
Buddhism and Spirituality: The Buddhists in your dream may signify a desire for peace, inner wisdom, or enlightenment. Buddhism emphasizes mindfulness and being present, so they could represent your subconscious urging you to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about future uncertainties or past regrets.
Companionship and Team Dynamics: Your companions in the dream, including your co-worker, suggest that you may be dealing with teamwork or collaborative efforts in your waking life. The fact that you don’t fully know or connect with the other two individuals may indicate feelings of uncertainty or unfamiliarity with aspects of your life or personal journey.
Isolation and Reality: The moment when everyone else disappears except for you and the girl reflects feelings of isolation or separation, perhaps highlighting concerns about feeling alone in your personal struggles or decisions.
Freedom and Limitations: Not having tickets for the bus or train suggests a sense of freedom but also raises questions about structure and boundaries in your life. It may indicate that you are seeking to break free from conventional expectations but are finding limitations or consequences in doing so.
Heavenly Environment: The description of the heavenly place without competition or negativity implies a longing for peace, harmony, or an ideal state of being. However, the realization that you want to go back to the real world suggests a struggle between the desire for an unattainable ideal and the responsibilities and challenges of everyday life.
Seeking Solutions: The drive to find a way back to your real world signifies a desire for resolution or a return to reality after exploring your inner self or spiritual aspects. It reflects a wish to balance the insights gained during your journey with the practicalities of life.
In summary, your dream seems to reflect a deep exploration of your inner self, a quest for clarity and peace in life, and the challenges you face in balancing your spiritual aspirations with the realities of your waking existence. Consider reflecting on areas of your life where you feel the need for change, understanding, or connection, as these may help contextualize your dream further.
