When we are late in a dream this is symbolic of being on the karmic path. When our soul decided to reincarnate on this plane, we had things that we wanted to experience and master in order to evolve spiritually. Being late in a dream shows us that what our soul planned and promised to learn is essentially behind schedule—our spiritual goals are not being reached.
It is important to remember that your soul has chosen every experience you are having in order to grow. We come to earth in a soul group that has agreed to help each other reach our spiritual potential and when we don’t live up to our agreement, we hold our soul group back. We are “late” fulfilling our promises which is why we feel such anxiety when we have a dream about being late.
The causes of why we are late in the dream reveals more information about how/why we are late. For instance, heavy traffic means your career is keeping you off your real spiritual path. A delay because of a lost phone means poor communication is holding us back and oftentimes this is direct communication with our Spirit Guides. By not listening to their advice, we are greatly hindering our spiritual journey and the dream is asking us to listen closer to the advice of the spiritual realm.
What you are late for is also a revealing aspect of the dream. For instance, being late to a wedding means that you need to balance your male or female side while being late for an airplane departure means there is a new project that you need to put energy into that could benefit you on your journey. Finally, being late to class reminds you that you are here to learn about your spiritual nature which is the entire reason for living life on this plane.
