Lauri in Harper’s Bazaar: What Dreams About Being Late (and More) Mean

In our words

What Lauri told Harper’s Bazaar

Harper’s Bazaar gathered experts to decode the dreams nearly everyone has, and Lauri set the frame: dreams are your subconscious thoughts, a continuation of what you were thinking about during the day.

She took on several classics. Running late to something important is self-explanatory if you work to deadlines; if you don’t, the pressure is usually a timeline you set for yourself, such as a career or health goal. Being back in school taking a test is usually about work, and tends to show up when you feel tested, whether you are pitching a new client, facing a review or going for a promotion. A celebrity in your dream is there for a reason, often a quality you like about yourself too. Dreaming that your partner cheated tends to reflect past infidelity or doubts, not a prophecy, and can be a cue to make more time for each other. Dreaming you are pregnant is a positive sign that something new, like an idea, a degree or a relationship, is growing.

Her common thread: look at what the dream mirrors in your waking life, then act on it.
