Hope something here helps:
I think this dream is about belief systems and thought processes.
The dream started at the tail end of another dream in which I finally acquired my own home.
There’s a chance this could symbolize your own belief system; kind of a maturing of the individuation process.
There was a man with me, but I don’t know who he was. We were at my new house.
He had to be somewhere and I was trying to keep him company until it was time for him to get to where he was supposed to be. But I had to be somewhere too, so there was going to be a frame of time that he would be alone in a strange town. There was a school nearby and I told him he could go there while he waited.
You realize that you can accompany someone (probably an actual person) up to a point but after that his development is his own job. If that means he must make himself comfortable with new concepts, then so be it. You direct him to a learning environment where he can bide his time.
He had been carrying a bag with him and as we left my house he put the bag down on the front steps. I tried to tell him a couple of times that he should take it with him so that he didn’t have to come back to my house before his appointment, but he was insistent. We went back and forth about it and I finally just decided to leave it alone. It was his choice…
Sounds like he has some baggage he wants to temporarily leave in your care. You’d rather he took immediate responsibility for it.
I showed him how to get to the school.
Not your job to teach him, just to point the way.
There was an abandoned house across from mine, and we went in the back door, somehow made our way through all the piles of junk in the house,(spotted many treasures!), and walked out the front door.
Is it parallel to your house in the dream? It is probably a belief system you felt you had abandoned? You’ve returned to it in a manner either unorthodox or not consciously apparent. While you still see what’s useless about it, you now notice it does have value. It becomes conscious.
Now the guy decides to go back to my house to get his bag, but as we turn around to go through the house we just came out of we see that a whole bus load of mentally handicapped people is entering the house. (They were a group because they had their care givers with them, like this was some sort of field trip
.)
This belief system creates/contains many handicaps.
I told the guy that we could go around the block and get to the other side before the group did. So we ran. But the group was already coming out the back door of the house by the time we got back there, so we had to wait for them.
Subconsciously, you’re becoming aware of all the reasons you rejected this belief system in the first place.
They slowly filed out of the house and wandered aimlessly around until one of the caregivers showed up to organize them and get them onto another bus that was waiting for them.
This was where I started to get lucid as I began to analyze the dream while I was still in it. I wondered why they would go through all that trouble of loading everyone into buses for the seemingly pointless task of walking in the front door and out the back, only to load onto buses again. I figured the house must have been some kind of relay station… Then I woke up.
Relaying information to you!
