Dreaming of someone else being late - dream meaning with inherited lore

You wait for someone at the meeting place while checking the time. No message comes, or you keep hearing only that they are late, and your disappointment and frustration continue to grow.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of someone you are waiting for arriving late have sometimes been interpreted as showing that the flow of a relationship is out of step or that news is slow to arrive. They are not taken as proof that something will actually happen to that person. (In folk dream interpretations, waiting and news are often read as scenes for examining connection and communication between people.)

Through the mind: You may have felt that the other person did not keep their promise or did not understand your feelings well enough. The weariness of always being the one who adjusts and waits may also find its way into the dream.
