Missed Flight Dream Meaning

This dream raises so many questions, so If you cannot get your seat in time or you dream of arguing with the gate agent then read on!

There is something sort of "urgency" when it comes to trying to get a flight. It sort of reminds me of that film "Home Alone" from the 1990s. Yes, it is a crazy dream full of all sorts of emotions. My take is that missing flight is connected to feelings inside, such dreams can reflect feelings of regret about actual occasions or people you've lost but more frequently they're a sign for something missing inside your existence possibly direction, confidence or intimacy, or perhaps a feeling of personal identity.

Another explanation of a missing flight in a dream is really a warning that you're at risk of losing something important. Possibly you feel that people around you are not appreciating you. Missing a flight in a dream is about your worries in waking life or the fear of something being lost. The airplane in a dream is about taking off, leaving, and moving forward in time. If you miss a flight due to others, or you have just forgotten something (like a passport) then this can suggest that your life is not organized at the moment. This is a sign you need to recharge yourself. Dreams about running for that flight can suggest that you need to listen to your intuition in life. Another popular dream (that I have had many times) is losing that flight ticket. This is about being scared that you loose something in life. 

To see a flight attendant wearing a famous uniform in a dream can indicate that you have a tendency to judge others. To be bumped on a flight indicates that you are feeling left out in social gatherings, the actual "bumping" of the flight is a sign of the feelings of rejection in waking life. If you are arguing with the gate agent this can illustrate that despite everything you will fight for what you believe in real life. Scroll down for a more detailed dream interpretation of missing a flight.

What is the general dream interpretation of missing a flight?

Losing something or someone important may also suggest lost possibilities, past associations or, according to Jungian analysis, forgotten facets of yourself. Your individual associations to the one thing you lose provide you with clues regarding the emotional meaning and possible interpretation of the dream. Dreams that give you a feeling of frustration or anxiety are extremely common and you will likely experience this type of dream and some point or another, especially throughout occasions of stress in waking existence. The strain might be triggered by a test, an interview, splitting up from a partner or fears of failing. This stress can express itself in hopes of falling or just being limited or hopes for feeling annoyed by a piece of equipment that does not work or ending up flying the plane yourself.

What does dream psychologists say about missing a flight?

Based on Freud, such dreams are inspired by sexual frustration or anxiety, but many dream experts think that they originate from deep-sitting feelings of inadequacy or frustration in most regions of your waking existence, not only the sexual. Another factor to consider is whether or not the frustration within the dream was 'because' of something. Quite simply, made it happen since you required an incorrect direction since you were flying with others on this missing flight, maybe you are not paying attention to advice? If you can to pinpoint an underlying cause or reason attempt to define exactly what the 'because' factor is in your day-to-day existence.

However, disturbing, upsetting or frustrating such dreams could be they aren't designed to cause more anxiety. Your dreaming mind has created these images to enlighten and strengthen you. Whenever you've got a dream that leaves you with feelings of loss, regret or frustration, attempt to understand them more.Your dream denotes you’re feeling stressed, frustrated and wish to hide from the world.
