Anyone else? They're usually about my Cambridge exams rather than NCSU, but either way, I wake up and it takes me a few seconds to remember I've already graduated and don't have to worry about schoolwork any more.

I woke up one morning in October and panicked thinking I was late for an exam. Then I realized where I was and remembered that I didn't have anymore exams for a few years....

I remember talking with ThePitts about this. I usually have one of two dreams:

1.) It's the end of the semester and there's a class that I'm registered for but I completely forgot I registered for the class and it's exam time. I'm going to fail and subsequently not graduate. After a few minutes I try to remember whether or not I actually graduated.

2.) There's an extremely pressing work issue that I have to solve RIGHT NOW. I will wake up wondering about this "issue at work", when it was all just a dream to begin with.

According to him, it represents some unfinished stressor that you have in your life.

I have had dreams where I have signed up for a class, but completely forgot I did, so I missed all the assignments, papers, and exams.....

12/9/2005 6:14:47 PM

yup

i also have dreams where they come and take my diploma away

12/9/2005 6:36:41 PM

I hate dreams like this.

I have had a few of them and I always wake up stressed out.

whoa, i've had this one frequently. I think it's because I skipped so many classes, I got confused about which ones were real.

I constantly dream about have to retake high school classes - and I graduated in '92. It never ends.

12/9/2005 9:50:13 PM

You think that's bad, I start trying to remember whether or not I graduated from college. Almost had to get out of bed to look for a diploma!

Now I'm amazed I ever managed to remember to go to my classes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if I signed up for a class and just completely forgot about it for a whole semester.

oh shit, i thought that was the only one


like last night i had a dream where i missed a whole semester of organic chemistry...........and i graduated in 02!!!!

12/10/2005 2:32:36 PM

I had one last night.

12/10/2005 2:55:04 PM

only had that dream during the first year after i graduated

i still dream about going back to my old hs and getting to play in "the big game." i'm the only one who's gotten older and i'm so much better than everyone else.

ahhhhh, dreams.

12/11/2005 1:50:32 AM

i had an opposite type of dream

last night i dreamt that i was done with exams and i was getting ready for graduation

i woke up wondering if i already graduated or not

then i realized i had to get out of bed and study for my last exam at 8am

oh well-- i'll be graduated in less than 72 hours!

12/11/2005 4:37:23 PM

I have the dreams about screwing up in high school every once in awhile. In the last one I was still the same age I am now, but I was still in high school.

12/11/2005 7:54:58 PM

I have dreams about chicks

which I tended to focus more on than exams

go figure

12/11/2005 8:40:27 PM

no, not after college, but the summer before i had a few about missing exams.....those type you sit up for after you wake up....lol

I used to have dreams that my high school called and that no one in the AP classes graduated and we had to re do a class. I would just scream that I have a college degree and in Law school that they should just give me the damn degree.

I also have a dream that I completely miss class for a semester and have to take an exam

12/19/2005 8:19:10 PM

haha i once dreamt about having a class that i never even had

but i woke up the next morning confused as shit and really upset that i stopped going to the class like the first week that semester


it took until after breakfast until i convince myself it was all a dream.

12/19/2005 8:42:00 PM

Happened to me and my husband and many of my friends have mentioned it, too. You wake up in a cold sweat thinking you're late for a test/exam. The worst one ever was when I woke up thinking that I had "forgotten" about a class that I'd had the ENTIRE semester and now it was end-of-the-year exams when I hadn't attended beyond the first week.

12/29/2005 9:57:05 AM

^I have the same dream about forgetting about a class that I signed up for but forgot to drop. I never did that while I was in school, but it scares the hell outta you when you dream that you did.

12/29/2005 5:45:38 PM

^whoa, same dream, too.


That's eerie.

12/29/2005 7:04:33 PM

I've had the dream where I'm signed up for a class and forgot about it, and the class was CH 101.

When I left the Corps, for at least a month into my first semester in college I kept having the same dream where I was taking classes here at State but forgot I was still on active duty. I'd all of a sudden remember this and start freaking out about being a diserter from the military.

12/30/2005 11:37:53 PM

i have these dreams too (though i'm still undergrad). i think they mean that i'm not putting 100% into whatever it is i'm doing (life/school). it seems like a subconscious guilt complex reaction to me.

1/2/2006 2:58:20 PM

Yeah, I have these. I look at the exam and don't know shit. I usually wake up.

I've had this dream a few times as well, before and after graduating.

Eerie indeed.

1/2/2006 9:39:22 PM

exams at state were a damn joke

1/19/2006 4:21:19 PM

I keep having this same dream.

I find myself sitting in a CHASS class that I never went to and it's the final exam.

It's strange. I have had this same dream for like 2 years.
