Dream Symbol: last minute

last minute

Waiting until the last minute to finish something can mean:

  • You'd procrastinating or would like to avoid whatever the activity represents
  • You're afraid you'll end up having to rush something at the last minute
  • You're feeling passive-aggression towards an authority figure, perhaps the one who assigned you the task

Something coming through at the last minute (such as finding a solution or being saved) can mean:

  • You're waiting for something in real life that seems to be taking a long time
  • You're wanting or waiting for some help or support right now
  • You desire more excitement in your life

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
