What does my dream mean?

[mnaab]

I keep having dreams (well, nightmares) with a recurring theme.

The places and people are always different but the basis is always that I/we have booked an air bnb/hotel and are late for check out. Like hours late!

We are trying to pack up as fast as we can but it is never ending and my anxiety is through the roof whilst we're being pressured to get out.

In real life I've never checked out late or had a bad experience in that respect so I don't know why this topic is plaguing my dreams?

Dreams are usually sort of literal.
So taking the late checking out, do you have any concerns about hitting any sort of deadline in your life - anything from a tax return to feeling like you're behind your peers with buying a house or getting married? Hotels are transient locations so could be to do with something on your life changing?
I have recurring hotel based dreams too but my being late ones are usually based on trains or at stations. I've only ever done any reading in those what does my dream mean type books but I find it fascinating. It's a mad thing our brain does, working things out through telling weird stories.

Ah, yes that makes sense. I have uni deadlines that I've been dreading!

Yeah that makes sense then. You're worried about your uni deadlines and it's showing up in your dreams. Now what can you do to help yourself get to your goals?

That does make sense. Can you work out if the dream is trying to help you process anything specific about that stress, or it's just your brain's way of expressing it?

I'm not sure if it's anything specific, just more that it's playing on my mind
