There’s no time to wait, I’m late, I’m late!
Have you ever had a dream of being inside of an airport, airplane, or other forms of air travel? These dreams can have a big meaning about where you see your life headed, so pay attention to the details in order to move forward.
The airport as a symbol in dreams is an indication of transition. We leave one place and arrive at another. Particularly, a departure could represent a new job, a new relationship, or literally moving to a new land. If you’re late or miss your flight in the dream, the cause of this delay can be a big clue about what has so far prevented you from moving forward, on to the next phase in life.
Arrivals also represent a form of new birth – usually one that has already taken place. Complications with the landing can represent other complications of this new birth.
I’ve just woken up from quite an airport dream, myself. I was late and there was no one to blame but myself and my own indecision. Perhaps most telling was that the rest of my friends and family had already left for the gate while I was sitting behind packing and trying to come up with excuses for why I was late.
But there’s no excuses in an airport as in life. If you’re late for an opportunity, it will literally fly away without you. Are you ready to be left at the gate, waving to your friends and family as they embark on a new adventure without you?
I’m not, and this dream has reminded me that I have to get ready to go! Among other things, this website was one of those new projects that sat unfinished while opportunity came and went. Specifically, my fiancée wants to go to graduate school in the fall, and I’ve been dragging my feet unable to decide if I am ready to go live in the middle of nowhere for a few years. In this dream though, the greatest fear I had was to be left alone in my old home while everyone else went off to their new lives.
Its time to fly, and this dream has reminded me that I’ve got no one to blame for staying grounded except myself!
Have you recently had a meaningful airport dream?
