I've been out of school for 5 years now, and constantly have dreams like this.

Sometimes it's involving a school year ending, and I realize I have a final coming up in a class I never took.

Other times it's me realizing that a class I previously took and thought I passed was actually a class I failed.

Weird stuff...anybody else have these?

14 years since I graduated and I still get them sometimes. Frantically looking for the final exam room for a class I forgot to attend all year.

I've been out for 6 years, and I occasionally have a dream where I'm enrolled in several classes but skipped most of them the entire semester because of work, and around finals time I'm on campus and have no idea what room my next final is in or what it's about. And of course, phone and internet never work in those dreams.

EDIT: wow, I didn't realize the dream was this common. I always thought it was my subconscious punishing me because I was a habitual class skipper in college.

Been out 3 years and have that dream every so often. Started second semester senior year and happens every so often ever since.

I have a friend who dropped out years ago. It started out as only 9 credits. Then became 18.

As of this weekend it's 30.

His is not a dream.

I had dreams about a class in which I was enrolled but didn't know about until the final.

I have these all the time. Usually it's me forgetting a big final or something. I wake up so glad I'm done with school forever.

I get similar dreams like that often. Constant theme is I fail a class that I barely attended and can't graduate. Been out for 8 years now.

Yeah...waking up is a relief.

Didn't realize these dreams were so common.

I have a variation of this dream constantly. Sometimes, even high school, and I have a year of eligibility left in football and I'm trying to figure out how that worked out.

this is a weird phenomenon, so weird I thought I was the only one, and I've been out of LSU longer than many posters here have been alive

I have crazy-arse dreams where I'm close to graduating, but I still have a couple courses left to take that I've dropped before and been avoiding... at other times I have final exams to take but I haven't gone to class lately and they've moved the location of the exam and only the students who have gone to the class would know where it is... other times I dream that I forgot to schedule my classes for the semester... and sometimes I dream that I've lost my schedule and can't remember where my classes are

I still have the dream where I have a 0 in a math class that I need to graduate because I forgot I had it scheduled. It's the same class, same setting, and same scenario every time.
