DREAM
Hi Aneta,
I was dreaming that I was driving a bus through the mountains. It was very treacherous terrain. I saw that the road was ending. All of a sudden I realized that I could fly the bus and so I did. It felt surreal and exciting at the same time.

INTERPRETATION
Hello Ann,
What an exciting dream! A bus in a dream represents an organization. That can be a church, a school or a workplace that you’re a part of. Mountains reflect obstacles perceived by the dreamer. The path in life is symbolized by the road. Flying in a dream is one of the most exhilarating activities and it represents freedom.
Your dream is telling you that despite you perceiving some serious and “dangerous” obstacles on your path of life, while being engaged in leading/directing an organization that you’re a part of, you managed to experience freedom and move through whatever challenges you were facing.
APPLICATION
Dreams reflect our attitudes from waking life. This dream in particular reflects an attitude of you feeling very empowered and invincible. Such attitude can be summarized by an affirmation of “there is a solution in every situation” or “every illness has a cure” and so forth. It’s a very beneficial attitude to have as instead of focusing your attention on what is not working, you focus on how to resolve the issue at hand or overcome an obstacle in front of you. The suggestion here is for you to practice such attitude as often as possible and to observe your inner dialogue so that you could more precisely understand how you’re able to foster such positive outlook on life
May your dreams illuminate the inner you…
