Thank goodness I don't have dreams of being publically naked, lol, yet anyway I bet i'll have them now I said I don't.

I can guess that the purpose of such Dreams is to prompt us to better prepare for our lives, to be better organized, and to plan things out. [/b]
I'm really prepared though in my life, never late (almost was once, freaked out).

The Anxiety keeps them on the straight and the narrow. It is the people who have no anxiety dreams that have no internal promptings NOT to be late, and so they are the inept failures who do indeed show up late and flunk out.
As an interesting aside, back in my old college days, I was late for classes only three times... over sleeping, and in each of these instances, class had been cancelled. Something in me realized that I did not need to wake up and allowed me to get those extra hours of sleep.

I'm really anxious about being late I think, but lately i haven't been (haven't had these dreams for a while). Maybe these dreams do give me a prompting not to be late, but I don't think I ever would be late, i'm too careful. So your idea of those having dreams of running late being the most likely to be always on time must be true!
