Dreams about being late: a Jungian reading

You are running for a train that is pulling out, or looking for a platform that does not exist. It tends to be about pressure you carry with you — and often not about the destination, but about the sense that something has already been missed.

It depends on how it looked

• the train leaves in front of youan opportunity that has closed
• packing and not making ityou are carrying more with you than can be carried
• you do not know where you are meant to goa deadline with no goal
• in the end you make itthe pressure tended to be bigger than the reality

A question for you

What do you count as missed — and who said that was the last chance?

And yours is read symbol by symbol

This is what a dream dictionary cannot do: it reads the dream you actually had. You write it in your own words — a house you had never lived in, a small door under the stairs, a key that did not fit — and each of those images is taken separately, with what it may be carrying for you.

Then comes the archetype the dream is standing in — the Threshold, say — a reflection that ties it to your own chart, and at the end a question to sit with. Not an answer. A question.

A dream reading needs an account, because the dream is stored — that is the point: the meaning shows up when the same image comes back a third time. The account is free and the first readings are free too.
