Dreaming of missing a crowded train - dream meaning with inherited lore

A train packed with people pulls into the station, but even when the doors open, it is hard to get on. You remain on the platform, trying several times or waiting for the next train.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreaming of missing a train has sometimes been interpreted as being unable to join a planned course right away, or as waiting for the right moment. The presence of many people may also be seen as representing competition or the influence of your surroundings. (In folk dream interpretations, trains have long been read as symbols of major currents and opportunities for movement, while crowded spaces represent competition and social relationships.)

Through the mind: You may feel left behind in situations where you compare yourself with others, such as finding a job, changing jobs, or dating. It may also reflect a wish to find a choice that fits your own pace, rather than a fear that you are not ready yet.
