re: The 'I need one credit to graduate' dream...

I actually went online and found this to be a logical reason from a dream doctor:

Curiously, back to school dreams do not reflect a desire to return to school, nor do they reflect emotional trauma from our school years. Instead, the dreams reflect challenges in our current life—usually in a career or social context—about whether or not we will “graduate to the next level.” What’s the connection? The pressure we feel today reminds us of how we used to feel back in high school or college before we took an exam: nervous, and wondering if we will “make the grade.”

Back to school dreams occur when we are stressed about completing a project at work, for example, or if we are switching careers, experiencing money problems, or are trying to “graduate” to a new position in our romantic lives…

Back to school dreams let us know that we are feeling uncertain of our ability to “graduate to the next level” in our lives, but they also are reminders of the goals we value and accomplishments we seek to achieve.

Graduated almost thirty years ago. Med school. Residency. Fellowship. Still have the dream that I didnt get credit for an undergrad English class!

i always have the 'final today in a class you forgot you registered for and haven't gone to' dream

Mine are usually at my old high school too, but a college class, which is weird

Graduated LSU in 1984. Still have those type dreams occasionally. It's always a relief to wake up and realize it's just a dream.
