    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.

    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 used to have those dreams when I was starting something new - a new school year, or a new job. It’s my imposter syndrome, manifesting in a dream.

    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.

    No, I also have them. Sometimes they are about a single subject, and sometimes they are like, “Oops, I accidentally forgot to go to school for three years.”

      Just out of curiosity - are you a heavy drinker and this happens during withdrawals?
      Like u drank heavily on Saturday night, do you get this doom paniky feeling with nightmares night Sunday to Monday?

        I don’t drink, actually. I am just prone to being anxious by default, and it usually happens when I get stressed.
