Being late in a dream

Being late in a dream — for a train, an exam, a meeting — can reflect an inner pressure to keep up with everything and a fear of missing something important. It often appears when you've taken on more than one pair of hands can carry. Rather than a warning, take it as an invitation to reconsider where you're really rushing to and whether that race is even yours.

The interpretation is a signpost, not a verdict — the dream is yours, and the one who dreamed it always has the last word.
