An excerpt from a lengthy Guardian article that suggests dreams are impossible to make sense of, although this dreamer's experience would suggest otherwise.
'It can be particularly difficult to untangle the meaning of recurring dreams like this, given they leave people drained and upset. Isabella Gray had a nightmare about having to drive a bus – definitely not job-related as she works as a goldsmith. “I used to have the dream all the time. I would be driving from an odd vantage point, like from the top deck, reaching right down to the steering wheel with long arms or trying to drive the bus down narrow steps. It happened so regularly that I would wake up stressed and tired.”
Gray heard dream psychologist Ian Wallace on a radio show and emailed him about her dream. “He told me my bus dreams were about having to control everything in my life and feeling there is no support. And I did feel like that! I look after a lot of people; everything is on me all the time. As soon as he explained it to me, the dreams completely stopped, never to return.”'
