School dream everyday now.

[Dominus]

I used to have school dream every once in a while. But nowadays, it's every day. And it's not just regular school dream. It's getting to the end of the semester and realizing I have been missing a class the whole time. Or going to an exam completely unprepared. Etc.

Last night, I was in high school. Got assigned a homework for math. Then school ended and I proceeded to go toward the school buses. I then realized I didn't know what bus would take me home. I could have sworn it was bus 37 so I got on it. When it started moving, I realized it was a bunch of younger kids on the bus. Wasn't my route. So, I asked the bus driver to just drop me off I can take an uber or something home. She dropped me off at the school gym. I went inside and started looking for a way home. At this point, I noticed that all of a sudden I got way too many things. My bookbag is HUGE and HEAVY with all the books and stuff in there. Both hands I'm carrying more books and just random shit like a bunch of hand soap.

An old dude came and told me he's gotta lock the facility up so I need to get out. I started moving my things to the outside of the building and had to come back in for more. The more I moved stuff out, the more there are. Before long, somehow they have grown to a big pile of random stuff.

The feeling from these school dreams is always very uncomfortable. Complete helplessness. Always not knowing what to do like being lost or not in control of anything.

What is my subconscious trying to tell me?

or not in control of anything.

First thought - ^^^^

You might have control issues - pretty common conflict - can be uncomfortable to come to terms with as it can sometimes be quite ugly.

I moved away from my old house 3 years ago and i still have dreams about the house. The last one i had a few nights ago it was thundering and i was taking the fans out of the windows.

I just feel like our minds just like to travel and bring up stuff from the past.

In collage I would dream that on the day grades were issued I had forgotten about a class and never attended.

I get this one a lot, too. I was reading about school dreams and apparently this is a very common one shared by many people who have gone through college.

I haven't had a school dream in a long time. I now have dreams in which I wander the streets trying to find where I've parked my car. I think of this as the Los Angeles variant.

All my dreams are kinda sticky.

You feel overwhelmed and burdened with too much stuff to do. New things keep piling on unexpectedly and you're afraid of what is coming next. You feel unprepared and fear you're inadequate to handle it as well as confused and unsure of what to take on first - thus the high-school theme. Aren't you around (bus) 37 or so?

My totally unprofessional, long-distance diagnosis which could be completely wrong, but seriously what I got out of what you wrote based on your prior posts about starting your business.

5 cents please. Good luck.

All week long I have been having variations of this dream.

Just wrote a friend about it today.

If it is any consolation, you are not alone.

and I have been right on top of business correspondence etc. all week long... just trying to figure out what I haven't completed satisfactorily to my own standards that would lead to all the variations on the theme this week.

Maybe red wine before bed?

Your long-distance diagnosis?

I had three nightmares last night. In two of them I was being chased by a wolf, in the other a snake was descending upon me from above.

There is very little anxiety in my daily life. Almost none. I'm at a loss as to why I'd be having nightmares. Could they be completely meaningless?

 

[rareboy]

Oh they are all related....

Don't look up.

I have a recurring dream that I'm back waiting tables in the place I worked for close to ten years. I'm completely weeded and about to go under but somehow manage to keep it together. It's not really unpleasant, just hectic.

Is your school dream different than other dreams? This one is. It's very vivid. I wake up remembering people's exact order. I also suspect that the customers in the dream are memories of real people I waited on over thirty years ago.

I'll put on my hat as amateur dream analyst and make a guess. Since you're trying to leave school, that means the lesson is over, and it's time to move on. But you're at the gym, picking up more and more belongings which keep you there. What that seems to say is that you keep picking up little projects and interests that waste your time and keep you from getting on with your life. Remember the goal in your dream was going home. The bus seems to suggest you made a previous attempt to leave the school, but once you realized it had the younger kids, that meant you got off because it would take you somewhere you didn't want to go. Maybe that means you previously lived a life until you figured out there was a lot of immaturity involved. Maybe you became disenchanted with the youth gay culture? The math assignment probably means that your life's purpose or goal has been set, and you've yet to fulfill that, whatever it is. You might also mull over what a gymnasium means to you. Also, what does the number 37 mean to you?

Haha I did this in real life.

May be 12 years ago or so I drove myself and my buddies to Chicago for some music thing. Had to park really far away.

Anyway, when it was over, we started walking to the car. I assumed he kept track of it so I just followed him. Then all of a sudden he asked me how much further? Alarmed I said I've been following you. He said he's been following me. We spent the next 2-3 hours wandering around looking for my car. When we finally found it, we were so happy. I really thought the car was lost forever LOL.

Hey my age is a closely guarded secret. I will now have to send a team of ninjas to your house with a neurolizer to erase your memory.

Owing to having done quite a bit of amateur dramatics through the years, I have a thespian variation of this anxiety dream, in which it's the opening night and I haven't committed a single line to memory. In one dream I even ran away from the theater and embarked on preparations to fake my own death to save face!

I have never learned to drive, and I also have a recurring dream in which I am behind the wheel of a car, trying to negotiate the winding country roads near my home at speed; knowing full well that I don't know what I'm doing and that I am not in control. The dream invariably ends with me cresting a large hump in the road and flying through a hedge.

I also have had the dream of having to appear in a play and not having read the lines, probably as a result of having appeared in several productions in high school when I could remember pages of dialogue.

I have put that one down to some waking anxiety that I no longer have that capacity to remember passages of verse or books.
