Been out of college for a long time, and still have the dream occasionally about being in some random class that I haven’t been coming to, and I have an exam.

Also dream sometimes about standing in front of my locker and not being able to remember the combination.

Used to all the time, but haven’t in about a year. Seems to have gone away when my wife told me she was pregnant.

My dream is that it’s final exam time and I forgot to go to class all semester.
I graduated in ‘84 and still have those dreams

Have had this many times... lesser and lesser the longer I've been out of college, but yes

I have a recurring dream that I skipped class all semester and then showing up for the exam. I've been out of college for 30 years

Yes, and I earned my degree in 1973... This is very strange indeed.

Not really but at least 3 or 4 nights a week I wake up, see that it's 12:15 or something and freak out and possibly jump in the shower before realizing that it's midnight. I normally get up when it's dark anyway so that aspect doesn't register with me.

I think your dream is very common. I have dreams about final exams and never going to class. It's been 28 years since I've been in college too.

I've been out for over 25 years and also have that same dream periodically.

I also have a variation where I think I dropped a class but somehow missed the drop day...that one is far less frequent, though.

I have dreams about missing exams in college and even about being back in high school.

The weird thing is that I'm totally bought in to the college dream but in the high school version I'm all like "What in the hell am I doing here?"

I got drunk and missed my speech final my last semester. The worst part was that it was a speech with a parter that I was sleeping with. She had to do it alone. Luckily I had a good enough grade to still pass the class. Only C I made at LSU

Yes. Or, I have a baseball/soccer game after school and forgot my jersey or hat or socks, etc. I graduated from college in 1996.

This thread pops up every 6 months and dozens including myself answer affirmatively.

I graduated in 1992 and still have the dream that it's late November and I suddenly realize I forgot to attend a class since late August. I panic and I can't remember which building it's in or which days and times it meets, and, I usually don't have any pants on.
