Being Late in a dream
Folk tradition reads being late in a dream as the worry of conscientious people not to miss something important.
Dreams about being late often come on days packed with duties. In folk belief, such a dream does not foretell a missed chance; it shows that you care and want to fit everything in. Missing a bus or train is read as impatience, being late for school or work as a sense of responsibility. The elders would say: whoever is late in a dream arrives on time when awake. The dream, it is said, only tells you to take a short breather.
