    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.

    “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 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

    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.

    I haven’t been a student for many years, but shitty dreams like this occasionally haunt me. Lots of variations on the theme. Lost textbooks. Lost homework. Lost locker. Forgotten locker combo. Can’t find the classroom. Forgot I signed up for a class. Just generally can’t get my dream shit together.

    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.

    Never had those. I do regularly have dreams where due to some quirk of the rules or something my 3rd grade education or something didn’t count thus invalidating the rest of my education.

    So I show up going “hey I’m like 30, can you just hand me a test or the years homework and I’ll be back next week” only to be told no, so I end up redoing the whole grade.

    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.

    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
