Missing An Event Dream Meaning

Missing an event or time frame (an exam, appointment, bus, scheduled payment, etc.) can represent a missed opportunity or neglected responsibility, or a fear of such.

Consider also the reason you missed or were late for the event (for example, missing an appointment because you forgot about it could represent feeling disorganized in real life).
