Dreams at the End of Exile/2

Helena was returning to Buenos Aires, but didn't know what language to speak or what currency to use.  Standing on the corner of Peyrredon and Las Hera, she waited for the number 60, which didn't arrive-which would never arrive.

                    Tiffany's Interpretation

          I think the fact that Helena can't understand the language may signify that she is having a hard time understanding someone in her waking hours. Because she doesn't understand the currency, I think that she is also having a hard time understanding something that is rather simple and common.  Since  a bus may signify her mind's movement towards achieving goals, the fact that she is waiting for the number 60 means she may have a temporary set back to attaining those goals. 
          The cause of this set back could be her misunderstanding of the person or the simple, common things in her life.  This dream shows that Helena is in a confusing time in her life.  She needs to find clarity in her thoughts and feelings.
