So, I've been having dreams about packing (or being unpacked rather) for a while now. Each time it begins the same, I'm already at the airport or on my way to the airport before I realize I haven't packed anything. Usually, I end up at a store to buy things I'll need or I'm taken home to gather things for my trip. The destination is usually somewhere I've already been...in other words, I already know what I'm supposed to bring. I'm always rushed and panicked trying to buy/gather what I'm taking with me. The dream always ends as I'm going back to the airport and I ALWAYS end up forgetting something important...like makeup or underwear...things I use everyday. I've read what packing may mean in dreams, but never in the way I encounter it. Any ideas?
It seems like you are worried about being unprepared for something in waking life. It could be general worries about how you will cope in future years, when you are older, or about not being prepared to deal with issues in a job or relationship, or not being ready/being unprepared for something else.
