Over the last 3 days I have had the basic same dream twice. I wake up early in the morning and fall back asleep and have it. In the first dream I am running later for the subway and run to get it only to see my dad (who passed away just this week 2 years ago) also try and catch the subway and I wait for him but the subway leaves before we get on...then the subway stops and we get in...but I leave a suitbag of clothes outside as the train pulls away. The next dream I am late to catch a subway again...the subway is leaving but it stops and I get in and I meet a friend who happens to be in the same car (I don't often speak with this friend)...once again I tell him that I left a suitbag of clothes with another friend and I hope he makes it home so that he can give it to me!
What is going on...this is almost recurring...to give you another thought I am thinking about getting engaged vey soon and I know my g/f parents are not happy and think we are rushing etc.
Please help....

Just so you all know I used the term running...but I was not really running I was really just walking quickly...but I think the idea is the same.

Anonymous, the subway is under the ground and represents the unconscious parts of self. All of us interact on conscious and unconscious levels. We have intuitive feelings and unspoken understanding that direct our lives as much as the obvious and fully conscious things. Consider the subway ride in your dream and try to understand what it is conveying to you about your more subtle navigation through ongoing life experiences. Also, going on a train ride may be symbolic of your life's journey. The train could also be symbolic of your need to move on and to do things in an orderly and sequential manner. Sigmund Freud said that the train is usually a phallic symbol and that a train going through a tunnel represents intercourse. Freud also said that there are other possibilities to this symbol. For example if you missed the train in your dream, you may be fearful of missing important opportunities.
Clothes are not symbolic of our private self, but rather of our public self. To see a bag in your dream represents the responsibilities that you carry. If the bag is full of clothes, then it indicates that you are carrying a lot of burden. It also symbolizes that you are full with worries and problems; you have to find a way on unloading some of this load.
To see your father in your dream, symbolizes authority and protection. It suggests that you need to be more self-reliant. To see and talk with your dead father in your dreams represents your way of coping with the loss. You may want that last opportunity to say your final good-byes to them.

To be quite honest.
It seems that you yourself are having reservations about the engagement. The subway train represents a means of escape. Your dad could either be trying to tell you something or he is just your subconscience security apperition. Leaving your clothes on the platform is your fear of leaving your present life behind. I would suggest to talk to the friend that appears in the dream and he may be able to help you straighten your feelings out.
Hope this makes sense and good luck to you.

the fact that her parents think you are rushing is probably why you are always in a hurry to catch the subway it could just be a feeling that you are always late and need to rush. the fact that your dad was there could just be a sign that even though he isnt with you, he still 'be there' for you.
as for the clothes it probably just means that in your haste to get married and move on with your life you'll be leaving something behind and wont know how to get it back and for the friend that you havent spoken to maybe you should just start talking to this person coz he/she might end up being alot of help to you in the future.
i dont think that im giving expert advice was just trying to help.

I'm not an expert but are you sure you want to be getting married right now. Sounds like you should search really deep on that one. If you do want to get engaged, maybe don't rush the wedding too soon. Wait abit to make sure. Good Luck and I hope this might have helped a little, or maybe it is just a crazy dream.

You have the answer in you. Do you feel you are moving too fast? perhaps it's time to think real deeply about what YOU want. Sometimes you have to go against everyone to get what will make you happy and that is very hard and very stressful. dreams are your sub conscience way of dealing with emotions you suppress while you are awake. It's hard to go against family harder than most people realize but this is the rest of your life your talking about. Be sure and be true to yourself before you make any life changing decisions.

In my dream book it says - running in a dream suggests the potential for anxiety or distress. Spirtually you maybe trying to do something too quickly. This may suggest you may be getting engaged too quickly.
The been late part in the dream book suggests - dreamers lack of attention to detail or the feeling that time is running out. You also may dream about been late due to death or change.

The being late and the forgetting of clothes{covering our sins }
indicates to me,You feel You left something out of your relationship with your Dad, You want to go back but you can not.
I think this is a message from Your Dad telling You forgive yourself,His Love is unconditional.

Here's is what I'm getting.
The BAGGAGE is an important sign. As baggage is something
in psychoanalysis that refers to something we're not letting
go of.
Therefore, I feel you might be hanging on to your father's spirit, and you need to talk with him in your dream. Tell him you love him, and let him go.

all this simply tells me one thing. you are stressed. you are scared deep inside and you feel insecured. slow down. life does not end here. take things slow. it would not be wise of you to rush through things like this. try get some peace of mind and think. its YOUR life. talk to your lady about how you feel and try discuss things.
