I was late for my exam today, very late, about forty minutes, but I was hoping that I would pass the exam
This dream could indicate that you are feeling anxious about a task or responsibility in your waking life. The exam in the dream could represent this task, and being late for it could symbolize feeling unprepared or behind schedule in real life. However, the hope of still passing the exam suggests that you have confidence in your abilities and believe that you can overcome these challenges. This dream may be encouraging you to have faith in yourself and trust that you will ultimately succeed despite setbacks or delays.
