Wait for the bus

[chiku]

I dreamt that I was waiting for a bus to my hometown at a station where many people were also waiting. The weather was gloomy, with rain and fog. However, this wasn't the usual station; it was a bit further away and on the opposite side. I asked people if the bus stops there, and they said yes, despite it not being the correct station. While waiting at the station, I saw a bus approaching, so I crossed the street to the other side where it was supposed to stop, but none of us were waiting there. However, the bus didn't stop, and none of us boarded it. I see another bus approaching, which is route 78, and decide to board it to get to a location between the city where I am waiting and my hometown because I know I can catch the 818 bus from there to my hometown. I first board that 78 bus and go to that location between my city and the one I reside in. When I got off at the stop in that place, I realized that my suitcase, which I had brought with me, was missing. Likely left behind as I also had a large backpack with me. I felt very scared and stressed, so I raised a fuss, called the station staff to be on standby. Thinking I left it at the original station, I tried calling a friend who was still there, but I ran out of credit, adding to my stress. When I re-entered bus 78 and started to return to the station where I initially was, in that bus, I found my suitcase. I remember some people, two older men, asking me what happened, and just at that moment, I spotted my suitcase and was thrilled. I quickly checked its contents and found everything intact. After that, I exited the bus while still being at that intermediate stop between my city and the city where I started, and now I'm looking for the station where I can catch the 818 bus to get home, which is my city. Stranger was helping me and showing me the way to get to that station, and it was already dark.
Then I woke up.
I'm writing down the bus route numbers because I really dreamt about them, and I'm wondering what that means.
Does this seemingly ordinary dream just signify that lately I've been traveling a lot from one city to another (which is true), or could it have some deeper meaning?

So...where am I going? And how do I get there? Not physically, but at an interior level. I am trying to go home, which is a symbol of transformation, the arrival of the soul at the place she is intended to go. You lose your suitcase, your identity, and perhaps, "baggage," as well. However, you find it. You are on the journey home, halfway there. 78 reduces to 6, which is a number of longing. It needs one more to make the sacred seven. A question: What do I long for? 818 reduces to 8, a symbol of eternity. A stranger is helping you...that is always mystical in a dream as is the dark, a symbol of the unconscious. A bus has an unseen driver. Another mystical note.
