Do you ever get dreams (nightmares?) about missing a class in college and failing exam?

I graduated more than long enough ago for these types of dreams to stop, but not only are they not stopping, they are getting more frequent.

They almost always take the form of be blowing off a class the entire semester and then taking the exam with zero idea how to do any of the work.

I also get dreams about outright forgetting to take a required class and a rep for the college comes to my house and confiscates my diploma.

A quick google search shows this is pretty common, just curious if you guys and gals of the OT get these dreams as well.

No because I didn't go to class anyway.

You mean where it's almost the end of the semester and you realize there's a class you forgot to attend the whole time?

Stops happening about 15-20 years after college.

Missing said class? No.


Missing pants while in class? Maybe. Actually yes.

Exactly the same dream.
In the dream, I never end up taking the exam, but I'm paranoid and know I have no idea what I'm going to do.
I just end up waking up, usually panicking.

I used to have a recurring dream that I had a big test (this was in middle/high school) that I bad completely forgotten to study for. And right after the teacher said it would count as like 80% of our grade, I would always wake up. I had that dream for years.

Still have a dream that I overslept for my last two exams that were back to back one my last day at LSU.

I got my degree in '84.

I get the one where I fail because I forget to attend a single class, I graduated over 20 years ago. Not sure why this is a recurring dream.

I have had a weird dream where I go back to high school to get my diploma after I already graduated from college, like a Billy Madison 2 kinda scenario.

1-2 times per year. I’ll wake up in a cold sweat.

Mine is always either that I’m contacted by my school and told that I never completed one class so I no longer am an alumnus until I finish it. The other is where I’m still in school and I’ll realize I have a final coming up for a class I never attended.

I am 30. Graduated in 2013.

I do as well, not real recent though.

What is the cause for of this?
There is denent dream breakdowns out there. Like in a falling elevator is money related.

Same. I have to finish up some high school classes and I keep wondering why it matters since I have a graduate degree. I also wonder if I am eligible to play sports again.

Had them for two years after computer science in 1995.

Would not have passed if not for Ali Landry helping me.
