Dream of catching a plane. What does it mean?

[TakeawayPizza]

I regularly dream of having to catch plane later on in the day. The flight is always back to Europe where I migrated from 40 years ago or from The Netherlands back to Australia where I live now. Most of the time I just remember at the last moment that I have to catch the plane that day and just make it in time but sometimes I realise that I too late in the day that I have to catch my flight and I just cannot make it to the airport in time.. As I dream this often I am curious as to what it could mean. My mood and feelings are always ok and I am not agitated or frustrated or anything in the dream

Because of their associations with "big trips," traveling on airplanes frequently symbolizes change, transitions, and attempts to "reach new destinations" in our lives. Destinations commonly include a desired career status-higher salary, responsibility or recognition-or social status, such as marriage or a committed relationship.

To catch your flight and that you just cannot make it to the airport in time represents frustration and fearfulness.

Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach you something about yourself. However, soon after you wake up to go about your daily routine, you tend to quickly forget what you dream about. The message in recurring dreams may be so important and/or powerful that it refuses to go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. It is desperately trying to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation, transitional phase in life or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month. Whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. Such dreams may be highlighting a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.

The repetitive patterns in your dream reveal some of the most valuable information about yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.
