Time Passing Dream Meaning

The passage of time or a series of events can represent the same in real life.

For example, consider a series of dream events in which you visited a store, then you were chased by a swarm of bees, and then you jumped into your friend’s swimming pool.

This series of events could represent three separate events in your real life that happened in the same sequence (possibly even months or years apart).

In this case, you might look for a time in real life when you went to work (represented by the store), then you were feeling overwhelmed by things “bugging” you (represented by the bees), then you “escaped” with help from a friend (represented by the friend’s pool).
