Graduated twenty years ago and still have these dreams.
No joke, but the entire time I was in undergrad I would have this nightmare.
Kept getting the “you have to go back for one class we didn’t account for” dream for years after graduating. It was always a language requirement too.
It’s always math for me.
Damn, I didn’t realize I hace those dreams till your comment. I was like. How many damn highschool classes do I have to do I’m 30 years old already.
Not as much as I hit my 40s but mine involved going back to school after a short gap, not being sure if I’ll be able to pass even if it get 100s on my tests and not remembering the combination to my locker.
I’ve been done with (too much) schooling for years now. But I still have dreams where I have a math exam and I don’t know anything (I was good at it back in the day), I don’t know what classes I have to be in/missed a bunch, or I still haven’t finished my thesis. None of which are true.
The last is the worst, but I guess that’s grad school for ya.
“Turns out I didn’t graduate after all” nightmares love to haunt me during particularly stressful times
I’m 40. I dream of missing the school bus.
Some times I dream of getting on the school bus but having forgotten to put on shoes.
I dream of being late for a cubicle data processing job I haven’t worked at for 7 years. (I worked for them for 11 years though). I then go on to do the work in the dream.
Like my brain torturing me.
I graduated in 99 and I have these dreams.
I still experience nightmares of failing my job training exams even though I did a-okay in all of them and it’s been 15 years since. o_O
Not sure much missing a class but showing up and having an exam that I’d not heard of nor studied any of the material for
I have dreams where I go back, attend 1 class out of like 7 for the day, but forget where all the other classes are as well as what they are. I end up having to go to the school office to get my class roster so I can attend the other classes, but its all rushed because I’m late for that next class.
