re: When does the "it's finals week and I'm in a class I forgot about" dream stop?

Wow, I'm glad you posted this. I graduated college 20 years ago and I still have that dream from time to time. For some reason I'll dream that I haven't been to a class or two in weeks and I keep wondering if I'm still in it or if I have an exam due.

Graduated college 34 years ago and still occasionally get that flashback dream. Guess with a kid in college and knowing that finals weeks are hell brings it back.

I teach and I still have that dream, you'd think it would change to: Oh shite there's a final today and I forgot to make the test! Or Grades are due and I forgot to grade all the essays. Nope.

Never. I'm 45 and still have it 3-4 times per year.

mine is that the semester is almost over and i suddenly realize there's a class I've been skipping all year

Mine is just like this and I also can't remember where it's held on campus.

Sad fact is that it never will

I have this dream about once a month. I don't think it ever goes away.

I haven't had that dream in probably a year, I like it this way

I've been out of grad school for 2 years now, for a frame of reference.

I slept through Biology Lab final my freshman year. I had to beg to get them to let me retake it.

The teacher had said "ok, well, we won't meet again until the final." This being the last week of that class. Little did I know that the final was the fricking week before finals week.

I was in the cafeteria one night and someone walked up to me and said "why weren't you at the final this morning?" And I about shite myself

They go on forever, but become interspersed with dreams from your most stressful previous jobs.
