Dreaming of boarding a bus that won’t leave - dream meaning with inherited lore

You get on a bus at the stop, but it doesn’t move for a long time. You wait, looking out the window, or sit with the other passengers as you wait for it to set off.

Korean lore: Traditionally, getting on a bus at a stop and waiting for it to leave has sometimes been read as a time when a journey or change is not yet ready to begin. Folk interpretations of bus stops and buses aren’t set out in much detail, so this reading focuses on the waiting in the scene. (This interpretation comes from a broad folk tradition of reading transportation as a metaphor for a new phase or path.)

Through the mind: You may have already decided on something, such as changing jobs or moving, but feel that real-life circumstances aren’t falling into place. Whether waiting to leave felt frustrating or reassuring can offer a clue to how you feel now.
