re: Dream about sleeping through a test or forgetting about a class.

Yes still dream I missed a class all semester and don’t even know where the classroom is. Also sometimes the college is just some made up in the dream college (not LSU) or it is my high school (Broadmoor). I am 59 so this has been going on for a long time. Happens about once a year.

Amazing how many have this dream. I still have it a few times per year. When I was a kid, I had a variation of the dream…..I would dream that I was getting off the school bus as a grade schooler and being horrified to realize that I was either totally naked or had forgotten to put on my pants or something. In dream, I would be searching for clothes/cover.

Another dream that I have periodically is that I’m in a speeding vehicle flying down the highway…..then I realize that I am supposed to be driving but I am in the back seat. In dream, I try to get back behind the wheel.

Stress dreams! Hate them.

Yeah those dream variations are quite common. They’re in the book. Or shall I say, just google it and it’ll return many hits on those same dream sequences.

“Dream sequences”. That sounds like it’s really a thing that dream experts would say. Yaay me.

Did you or a friend have a recurring dream after college where you forgot about a class, or slept through a critical test that could have made you not graduate on time?

Yes, many people have this. Mine is usually that I am showing up on the last day of class for the final exam but only then realizing that I had never been to the class during the entire semester, bought the book, etc. A variation which has happened a couple of times is that I'm trying to find the class (the rest of the scenario is the same, no books/never been/finals time).

***lots of stream of thought writings that essentially mean "I've heard that the reason this happens is some nerdy guy created a method to get back at all the people who got degrees without actually going to class by hacking the cell network to create subtle tones which create this dream scenario when people are sleeping."***

Dude, stop. This is some bullshite "urban legend" myth. Try thinking critically on what it would take in order to accomplish this.

1. An extremely advanced knowledge of neurologic pathway formation.
2. An extremely advanced knowledge of how to externally manipulate dreams in order to create specific dreams (this is a big one as no study has ever shown that "subtle tones" of any sort can do anything more than appear as tonal sounds in your dreams).
3. Ongoing detailed knowledge of every intended target's sleep patterns and sleep cycles.
4. Ongoing detailed knowledge of every intended target's hearing ability.
5. Ongoing detailed knowledge of every intended target's sleeping environment (where the phone is in relation to the target's hearing, ambient room noise, etc).
6. Enough knowledge of phone apps to make software which can take advantage of such knowledge, making it for both Droid and iPhone.
7. The ability to coerce the targets to download it OR the advanced knowledge needed to hack some site (Apple, Alphabet, some add site, their app stores, whatever) in order to assure it gets downloaded onto every target's phone.

You need not one, not two, but all seven of these to be true at the same time in order for this bullshite to be true. What do you think the chances of that are?

That's a rhetorical question, the answer is zero. The best we can do right now is turn phone mics and cameras on and off without the user knowing, so we're not even on the same universe as being able to use "subtle tones" over cell phones while we sleep to create on-demand dreaming.

Been so long ago I could not remember if a dreamed about sleeping through a test.

As far as college back then they gave us syllabus.
Most people only showed up for quizzes and test.
I think they had scantrons back then where you could at least pass if you marked C for every question.
