If a dream about being delayed is repeated over and over, it's likely that your unconscious is trying to get a message across to you. However, you aren't picking up the phone to receive it. Your unconscious is trying to relay the message in a different way, but it is still following the same basic theme. These themes often relate to deeper-seated anxieties and fears that can sometimes mirror your youth, Freud stated.

When we are young, we form beliefs and attitudes that carry us into adulthood. Sometimes, then our dreams can indicate that you need to take a look at these beliefs and discard those which don't serve us well. Perhaps you dream of sitting in an exam or failing badly at it because you were delayed. Exams may be very relevant to your current life. Perhaps you come from a family that believed it was important to succeed at school. Once you have a clear idea from your subconscious, it is possible to look at this belief more maturely and be more open to accepting yourself.
