Late

In waking life one feels a certain level of anxiety if they are late; this may include being worried of missing opportunities.
There may also be a sense of panic if one is behind schedule.  Being late in dreams, due to unforeseen events, like a heavy traffic, is a representation of our fears in waking life.  Dreaming about being late can also be a sign to change in our life.  Although the dream is worrying, it is better to embrace changes than fear it.
