I just remembered a dream I had last night. And I know it’s boring to hear about others’ dreams unless you’re in them but here we go.
I have this recurring dream that I’m in college, I forget a class and then the exam comes, I’m reminded somehow of the class and then I freak out when I don’t know any of the answers because I haven’t been in class for weeks. I worry about how I forgot, where the class is and how to catch up. I don’t think I ever find out how it turns out.
Last night I had the same dream except this time I purposely didn’t go to class. And also, I was in high school. When I went back, my friends wondered where I had been and I couldn’t remember my locker and couldn’t remember the combination to the locker. I also couldn’t remember the layout of the school or where my classes were. I remember desperately trying to find a map of the school. I think I had to go to the office to get a print-out of my class schedule so I knew what to do, which is similar to my original recurring dream.
Seems the main changes are that I’m purposely failing vs. just forgetting and that I’m younger.
In other dream news, I had a dream this week that two parents gave me a baby and I was holding her, I stepped forward a few steps and when I turned back around the parents were gone.
I doubt all this means that I’m going to go back to high school only to purposely skip class and adopt a child. That first one always makes me wonder its meaning though because of its frequency.
I have the SAME dream about forgetting a class halfway through the semester. I don’t know what it means either and I’ve been out of college for at least 6 years. So weird. Mine is usually a literature class, which is nearly impossible to catch up on.

I have the same recurring dream about not being prepared for class and assignments. That is so weird! It must be a common thing for women to always feel like they are behind. At least that is how I would analyze it. If you ever find out for sure what its meaning is, please let me know.

From what I’ve read this exam dream is quite common. It either can mean you feel you don’t measure up to someone’s standard or there is some challenge in your life you don’t think you’ll be successful at.

Amy, I’m 50 and I still have that dream!!!
I have a recurring dream that my teeth are falling out. Sometimes they are loose and other times they are crumbling out. It’s one of those “feels so real you don’t know it’s not when you wake up” dreams, and I wake up expecting to have no teeth. It’s very scary! I’ve read it’s very common too – means I’m worried about how others perceive me (I don’t think that’s true) or having a sense of powerlessness (not true) or of fears of getting older/less attractive (true!!)
