What Does Waiting Mean in Dreams?

Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Waiting patiently in a dream implies that you know that things in life take time. Some things are worth the wait and hassling does not help some situations. Alternately, being impatient represents your dependability and controlling demeanor to people; you expect too much out of a situation. It could also mean you are worried about something but it is better if you slow down and stop being so anxious.

Jungian

Since dreams usually represent the opposite of what you believe to be true about yourself, a dream where you are forced to wait can actually suggest a need to slow down in a situation where you are too busy to notice that you are unfulfilled. Waiting associated with transportation will reveal your dependency on circumstances that can allow you to understand the roots of your motivation. See Late and Vehicles and Places of Transportation.
