I graduated in 87 and I still have those dreams. End of semester, never went to class and now scrambling to find someone with notes, or since I never went to class I don’t know where the classroom is to take final

I graduated 25 years ago and still have the dream pretty regularly. I always wake up in a panic.

Psychology class junior year. I never went except for the tests and I still dream about missing the final because I don’t know where the room is.

Yes, and the subject matter is almost always math


I just responded above, but mine is never math despite being an engineering major. It’s always that damn psychology class. It centered around family psychology and (cool story bro time) I came to find out actually never counted toward my major.

I always dream that I don’t know where my classes are, and I’ve missed a whole bunch of the classes. It’s like I don’t want to be in these classes but I have to. Frustrating.

My nightmare is that I didnt drop a class in time and I havent attended in weeks.


Due to a combination of depression and just being a lazy frick in general, I actually missed the drop deadline for a class I had quit attending. I managed to eke out a C somehow.

Bros, do y'all not google these dream situations, especially recurring ones? And/or ones that are shared by others? Not that they're right, but they have a good handful of websites that offer explanations/interpretations of these matters.

I don't look any of mine up because I'm 99% sure any and all of them involve underperformance in too many crucial life categories. No need for them to rub it in my face.

If I wanted to be lied to by a bunch of bullshite artist I would go to the fortune tellers in the quarter. At least they would make it entertaining.

Every 2 months and I'm almost 50.

It's late November and I'm on campus and realize there is a class I haven't been to since early September. I can't remeber where it is located either. I panic.

I also have the dream of walking around campus with no pants or underwear on and when I realize it I think if I squeeze my eyes shut briefly either my pants will magically appear or at the least no one will notice.

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.


Good God, I have some version where the high school figured out we missed an Algebra class or something and made us came back. And we're all our ages now. Sometimes it progresses to heading over to football practice. At some point I realize it makes no sense and wake up.

I think that one started happening when my BIL went to work at our high school and I started having to constantly hear news on our school from my sister and mom.

I used to. Especially around finals. Continued for a couple of years after I graduated.

Right before Christmas in 2019 I had a dream that I missed a final and failed my last class and wasn’t graduating. I woke up and had to convince myself that I’d graduated a dozen years ago. First time it happened in years.

We'll I'm right at 20 years, this one still pops up now and then. I hate it.

YEP wake up stressed AF because I failed or missed the test in my dream. I say to myself if I would have taken this shite this serious while I was in college I would have been on the Dean's list.

I usually get it when i'm stressed on a deadline at work.

One final in college I showed up an hour late to. I looked in and was like "they should be finishing soon" then realized it was my class. It was an intermediate economics class too. Walked in with 45 minutes left and finished before some of the people who started on time. Was my last semester and got like a B+
