Rush – Dreaming of rushing is a stress-related symbol also involving the concepts of hurrying and being late. It is common to have dreams in which you rush when you have a high-stress job or are in school and are constantly subject to stressful deadlines. The personal aspect of rushing is also important in your dreams, as we most often rush based on the actions and attitudes of the people around us. Your dream about having to rush may also be related to insecurity and a feeling of not being good enough – not smart enough, not productive enough, and not fast enough – which make you try to increase your performance past your limits in order to gain approval.
