I am a 32 year old male from the United Kingdom, living in Brisbane, Australia. I moved here several years ago and enjoy a good lifestyle. I recently dreamt that I was driving my car the wrong way down a one way street. The street is familiar to me, I know the name of the street and it’s location. I found myself following a bus, driving fairly slowly. The bus stopped at the junction to the main street and, instead of stopping or slowing down (I considered applying the brakes and clearly remember thinking this) I continued at the same speed and ran into the rear of the bus. I was about six feet away from the bus before hitting it and had enough time to stop safely, these thoughts I clearly remembered when I woke up. I am currently considering steps to advance my career and am prepared to take a career change. I do not usually remember my dreams and in any case, certainly not any as vivid as this. I would be interested to hear your thoughts.

Hi Anonymous -

I think you are ready for your career change! For some reason, hitting that bus seems to indicate that instead of doing what you normally would do - slow down, wait behind it for it to move on - you are frustrated with it being there and you decide - hey - I’m going to slam into this thing.

Buses are slow and cumbersome vehicles for moving ourselves around. Would you consider that perhaps the bus in your dream represents some of your own frustration with your current career path - a career path that you wouldn’t mind shaking up a bit? I think the fact that you are headed the “wrong way” down a one-way street also is significant. I think you are ready to go against the grain - and take some risks! Good luck!
