Waiting in the Rain

Dream 1
I was going to catch the bus somewhere with Sarah to do some shopping. However, when i rang her she said she couldn't because her brother was going away, or maybe it was coming home, that day or something.
So then i was going to catch the bus but some of my other friends caught up with me - some of my older friends from when i was younger that i don't see so much of anymore. I wasn't that pleased to see them; they were all people that i either didn't get on so well with then, or don't now.
So we were going to catch the bus, except that i was having to explain something to mum and i realised that it had just gone 11, and it was unlikely that the bus hadn't gone. When we got there, it had.
It was raining a lot, and we were in the market place in the rain, checking different bus timetables and trying to find another bus that went into Cheltenham soon. There were quite a few people around.
Suddenly, a bus turned up and the driver was willing to take us all into town (there were even more of us now!) and the last thing i remember was standing on the bus, on the way.
It was pretty dull and rainy the whole time.

Dream 2
I woke up in the night, having heard my phone vibrate to tell me i had a message. It passed through my mind that it would probably be from Christian, but before i could get up i slipped back into dreams.
It was Raph texting me to say hi, how was i, it had been a while. Which was really weird cos i only met him once and i guess we got along okay but i never really got to know him. Still, then in the dream i was at this festival thing with Raph and other people from Christian youth things i've been to

Bus
-To dream that you are waiting for a bus, indicates a temporary setback in achieving your personal goals.
-To dream that you are riding a bus, implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and are taking no control over where your life is taking.

Rain
-To dream that you get wet from the rain, signifies that you will soon be cleansed from your troubles and problems. Rain also symbolizes fertility and renewal.

Friend
-To see your friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to integrate these rejected part of yourself. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news.

Personal Meaning
Part of the first dream was just segments of something that was on my mind. I was going to see if Sarah wanted to go into Cheltenham, but partly ended up not being able to and partly i just never got around to organising it.
Missing the bus is one of my recurring themes, and if it means that i feel i've missed opportunities then i'm not quite sure what they are. But when it talks of a temporary setback, and going with the flow, i wouldn't be surprised if it was mainly referring to the unsurity of where i want to go.
It's very interesting about 'friends' ... because at the moment i feel like i want to find 'myself' more, and who i am, what makes me 'me' ... so perhaps my subconcious is reminding me of parts of my personality that i have been trying to ignore and push away - perhaps acknowledging this helps me to move on.
Goodness knows why i dreamt about Raph - i think maybe i saw something recently that reminded me of Viney Hill, or God or something. But the arrival of good news sounds positive, could it be anything to do with Christianity?
