Dreaming of being late for an online meeting - dream meaning with inherited lore

The online setting may also be seen as today’s work style and evaluation pressure blending into the dream. (This interpretation is based on a folk tradition of reading scenes about being late as reflecting a feeling of being chased by responsibility and time.)
