Terror on a school bus

My daughter dreamt of terrorism at her school. A school bus with identifying labels removed and bus windows blacked out. She had to run to one of the buses to hide.

Schools tend to represent growing anxiety or stress, likely caused by an increase in projects or responsibilities. It is possible that your daughter is currently worried about tests and projects due at the end of the current year or is concerned about what would be expected of her in the next year. This is supported by the image of the school bus, a symbol associated with specific concerns about responsibility and duty. If she is in charge of a task or working with others, she may become upset with their lack of ability or effort, causing her to take on more than her fair share of the load.
