Do you ever have nightmares that you are back in college and you failed to do something?

occasionally i get this dream where it has something to do with me being back in the college classroom and i am in a situation where i had skipped so many weeks of a math class and am behind on tons of hw and am totally unprepared for exams...

maybe it has something to do with the fact that i skipped over 75% of lectures for certain classes (but i did well in them)

i'm 2 years out of college btw... anyone ever get these strange dreams related to school?

Ditto. I get these all the time. Sometimes I even drive to school in the car I own now, so there's a weird time shifting thing going on, too.

I have the same reoccuring school dream all of the time. I'm in a class and on the first day of the semester the professor says you don't have to come to class just come take the final. By the time the end of the semester rolls around, I forget about the class and remember the day of the final about it. I go to take the final and I forget where the classroom is and I have a major freakout.

So you people are telling me I'm going to have this dream for the rest of my life? I'm still in school... :(

Not about "college" (I went to ITT) but I've had this dream that I've forgotten to turn in some high school English assignment a few times. Really really weird.

are there areas in your life where you are "skipping classes" so to speak? you may find a day of reckoning is coming.

I had a few nightmares about a pretty traumatic experience of remembering the finals day off by one day for a class. Needless to say, it brought my A down to a C. I had post-traumatic stress disorder on that for about half a year.
