Thread: Always late.

I'm finding that in the majority of my dreams there are events that I have to be at. I am able to make it to the location, only I am never on time. I'm never late by very long, but I still feel guilty. Looking back, there have also been several occasions where I am late because I am not clothed properly and I must go and change.

What do you think?

Studies have found that people who have such anxiety dreams are the very opposites to the people who have such real anxieties in Real Life, that is, people who dream of being late, are never really late; people who dream of not preparing for tests, always come to tests well studied, etc. So, apparently these Anxiety Dreams are doing their job, of creating enough stress and awareness so that we live our Real Lives in fear of the Dream Consequences we are already familiar with.

However, it would not hurt to be able to be on time in one's dreams, as well as in Real Life. Before going to sleep, try to think through and visualize starting out on time for your Dream Events.

I was once having those endless dreams of not being prepared for Final Exams, and so I finally had a dream in which when I registered for class, I sat down and filled out Study Schedules, Class times, Paper Assignments, and set up a time-table for reading the Course Literatures. I was going to be totally prepared. and it worked. No more of these silly dreams.

and about clothing. Learn to ignore this clothing issue. I think the Dream Mind is preparing us for the Day when we will be asked to become Pure Spirit. The first thing we will be asked to give up is our Cloths. You see, Clothing represents our Body... our Body Image. Particularly it points to our Persona Formation. Our Cloths designate our Social Role and Position. Naked is Free.

Besides, the next time you are in one of these dreams, look around. Nobody is ever particularly shocked at our nakedness. If they don't seem to mind, then it really is nothing to concern oneself over. So, before sleep, go over in your mind that you will not concern yourself with cloths and not worry of being naked.

Now, understand, you don't have to be lucid in order for these Suggestions to be useful. The Dream Self will be influenced by these waking Suggestions even if the dreams do not go Lucid. You may have to be persistent, but waking Suggestions do bear fruit.

Hi Red Sash,

The analysis by Leo Volont is impressing and deep.

What I would like to add is just my small experience on dream dressing. I discovered that i was quite far from emotions thanks to a dream where I was wearing a scuba diving suit in a water pool. Water is emotion, while the suit insulated me from these emotions. Thus you might wish to focus also on the type of dress that you wear in your dream and that you have to change. Colors, tissue and other details can reveal you more.
