If a dream presents itself every night for 7 weeks, yeah, there's something you really need to tell yourself. I'm not Shinto, I just did a bit of reading on Inari to contemplate on while looking up symbols, I am having a hard time getting a firm line on what's going on here, though. I looked Inari up on a couple of different reference pages, I don't know how Inari is depicted on Naruto, or whatever Aime you were watching, how he was depicted in the cartoon may have a bearing. Inari is mainly an agricultural fertility deity, associated with fertile crops, and the prosperity that goes along with it. A school bus is a symbol for a journey centered on personal growth. I find it interesting that you are hiding from a prosperity symbol, within a symbol for a journey of personal growth. I have not looked over your q and A's extensively, but based on some questions I've seen there, I have gotten the impression that you are doing some things lately for your spiritual / personal growth. Yet prosperity seems to be trying to barge in there, and I am wondering if you have a conflict in trying to resolve efforts in spiritual journeys, with life in the material world. The number 6 is a number for harmony and balance. The tail is also a symbol of balance. One thing that I have noticed in your q and A's is trying to achieve some balance seems to be something you're working on in particular. The fox is a symbol for cleverness of thought, and the hat seems to emphasize this.
I'm not sure where the dog fits into this apparent conflict between personal growth and the material world, here is a definition for dog from dream moods
Dog
To see a dog in your dream, indicate a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated. Alternatively, dogs may symbolize intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed. If the dog is vicious and/or growling, then it signifies some inner conflict within yourself.
A fence is an obstacle, you protect the dog, escape the bus, and jump over it. Whatever you're trying to do here, you are ultimately successful doing it, overcoming it.
I'm having a hard time getting a clear picture of what is going on here, but maybe if you meditate on some of these symbols it will help you on your way. If you're open to such things, Inari is apparently fond of fried tofu. Perhaps it would be helpful to go to some wooded parkland, where you know there are foxes living, and look for a good spot to leave an offering of fried tofu, and ask Inari to bless you with the clarity to receive and understand his message to you...good luck...
