and you need it to graduate but you forgot till just now. Then you wake up.

what was that class?

4/2/2014 4:12:33 PM

Software Engineering. And I had this dream within a week of graduating.

4/2/2014 4:15:23 PM

one of my roommates actually did this sophomore year, except he honestly thought he had dropped it. i'm pretty sure he didn't get it taken care of and had to cram for and take the final.

4/2/2014 4:18:39 PM

Mine is always some sort of math class, but it's always the same professor. Robertson.

4/2/2014 4:20:05 PM

always chemistry

4/2/2014 4:23:22 PM

I dreamed about Physics once, but I laughed in my dream. That class raped me so hard I can't even take it serious in a nightmare.

4/2/2014 4:25:57 PM

For me it was always some random humanities elective.

4/2/2014 5:16:00 PM

I've had this dream recently, that I somehow missed something and have to go back and get my degree that I never actually earned.

Though the last actual class I had in grad school I only ever attended like 4 times for tests. It was just a TA reading a professor's power points. I actually went, turned in assignments and walked out immediately after several times. Still got an A-.

Usually a math class of some sort.

The twist on the theme for me is that the dream is rarely set at NCSU; instead, they've realized that I technically never graduated high school, so all of my degrees are invalid until I go back and complete it. But I figured, hey, it's high school, this is easy...until the exam day shows up and I realize I don't remember algebra.

4/2/2014 5:24:50 PM

I had one of those I didn't go to beyond the first month or so.

Got a D-

*great success*

4/2/2014 5:26:45 PM

Mine was usually a math class, but every once in awhile it'd be an English

4/2/2014 5:33:37 PM

Almost always a math class, taught by my math teacher from high school.

4/2/2014 5:44:17 PM

Public Speaking. And I had this dream within a week of graduating.




I didn't even need it to graduate...

4/2/2014 5:58:20 PM

Almost 8 years later & I STILL have these dreams

4/2/2014 6:00:42 PM

haha, yeah i thought i was the only one who had this recurring nightmare. i've been out of school for 10 years; i still have it every once in a while.

4/2/2014 6:07:40 PM

Back at Stanford Law, we studied the modern proliferation of food poisoning cases against wealthy private homeowners. In fact, if one we so inclined, one could make quite a lucrative law practice with little else. Ahahaha. How is everybody feeling tonight?

Quote :

"Hypotheses and Interpretations (from the literature and anecdotal): The dream often occurs in approximation with having forgotten or being concerned about forgetting to do something important in waking life The dream may reflect a sense of responsibility, duty, or choice where the dreamer knows what he/she should do, but is hesitant/reluctant to do the act A change involving the end of something is imminent and there is low confidence about the future It is a time when regrets of past actions or inactions have been in mind—a possible prompt to not "put off until tomorrow what can be done today" The dream, when it comes in approximation with a significant date, such as a birthday, anniversary, school reunion year, date of the death of someone significant, offers the doorway to the classroom as a metaphor to paths not taken, the recognition that a "long" time has passed without goals achieved The dream is a reminder not to miss an opportunity or take a more active role in one's destiny"

MA103. Except I actually didn't go except to sign the roll at the beginning of every class.

I got an A.

4/2/2014 7:19:02 PM

I, too, have this anxiety type of dream every once in a while. I think it's a chemistry class for me, but I don't remember because I never really remember my dreams.


Maybe the educational system in America is so traumatic that it gives s all PTSD

4/2/2014 7:33:38 PM

I don't have this one, but I routinely dream about committing murder. Hmmm...

4/2/2014 7:34:42 PM

It's usually some sort of science or history class. Most of the time, I've skipped so many classes that I forget when/where the class is.

4/2/2014 7:45:30 PM

This is a recurring dream for me and it's usually high school English. Only reason I can think of is because I changed English classes a month or two into my junior year.

[Edited on April 2, 2014 at 7:51 PM. Reason : ]

4/2/2014 7:49:54 PM

I still have this dream from time to time.

And it is always some type of English class.

4/2/2014 8:05:01 PM

Human Resources 101 iirc. I tried really hard up until the first exam and then got really sick for several weeks. The teacher said on day 1 that there were no re-takes. If you missed an exam for any reason he would just weight the final more heavily. I fell way behind in all my classes due to the sickness and just stopped going to that one for some reason. When I decided it was time to buckle down and get my head above water I went back to class only to find out it was the day of the second exam (which I promptly skipped.) Then I just didn't really go back to that class.

I ended up reading the entire textbook two or three times in the two days leading to the final and got a B- for the year, but it was a big wakeup call. Another ~48 hours of procrastinating and it would have probably been a F.

some sort of chemistry or physics. never fails to happen about 4 times a year.

4/2/2014 8:47:57 PM

4/2/2014 9:06:59 PM

Never really had this dream

In fact, I have it for work related stuff nowadays on occasion. Like I'll dream about some work project or whatever that I haven't done. But never had it for school

4/2/2014 9:11:18 PM

I never had dreams about work, just stayed up not sleeping many nights tossing and turning and worrying.

this, and i also have it 4-5 times a year.

4/2/2014 10:49:38 PM

It's always a meteorology class. I was an English major.

4/2/2014 10:54:39 PM

I have this dream about once a month

4/2/2014 10:58:06 PM

I'm comforted to know this is common. I had it all the time in college and even after. I'd wake up in a panic and then remember I have a job.

Statistics.

4/3/2014 12:07:43 AM

1 credit hour class CSC 379 Ethics in Computing. Never went. But didn't matter, just bribed the prof to pass me anyways

4/3/2014 12:17:16 AM

Ethics in Computing, with Honeycutt? You aint gotta bribe him, that's an A unless you don't do anything. Then again, you were joking

4/3/2014 12:18:33 AM

MSE201 I thinkit was. One of the first materials sciences. fin was my TA

[Edited on April 3, 2014 at 12:48 AM. Reason : but this was irl]

4/3/2014 12:47:09 AM

I never skipped. I enjoyed going to college.

4/3/2014 1:21:05 AM

math or econ

4/3/2014 3:44:34 AM

Fuck you slackers, I had my shit done within my third year and then threw in some English Lit courses just to round out my education.

4/3/2014 4:28:50 AM

Always history class for some reason.

Sometimes the dream would be about forgetting to go, other times the dream would be about going but there were never any assignments or tests... I'd stress about that and wonder if there had been homework and tests but I had just missed them for whatever reason.

4/3/2014 7:40:20 AM

31 and still have these dreams

4/3/2014 1:04:23 PM

I did dream a few times that I went to the wrong classes on the wrong day. Like, I went to all my Tues/Thurs classes on a Wednesday by mistake and nobody was there or it was the wrong class. But that's really the only comparable dream I had

4/3/2014 1:32:11 PM

ACC220, Financial Accounting. I remember what the instructor looked like; I remember how his voice sounded; I remember that he smoked and often wore blazers but never a tie. I remember liking him but hating the class. Why can't I remember his name?

That's the one every time. Probably because IRL I skipped it so often that I almost never turned in the homework and happened to show up one morning when there was a test, totally unprepared. But I actually passed, unlike in the dream where I completely stopped going, forgot about it, and then remembered just before graduating (2 years later).

4/3/2014 10:36:44 PM

I have a very frequently recurring dream that I graduated from NCSU (which I actually did), but for some reason never completed high school.. it never makes any sense and I wonder if it means anything :3

4/4/2014 3:28:39 AM

^^Was it John Giles?

4/4/2014 7:21:19 AM

It's funny how I've been in my current job for 15 years, and yet I STILL occasionally have this dream. More often than not, the class winds up being something way apart from anything having to do with my field. (e.g. anthropology)

4/4/2014 9:45:49 AM

I have also never had this dream. I don't think I've had similar dreams about work, either. But I will get major insomnia when I'm worried about a deadline for something in real life. For some reason I don't think it's ever seeped into my dreams.

4/4/2014 9:57:04 AM

I have such dreams frequently (1-2 times a month or so), and reading this thread last night before bed gave me one last night

4/4/2014 9:58:31 AM

The weird thing about that with me is that even when I'm stressed or worried about something at work, I usually still sleep alright. It just seeps into my dreams. But it doesn't (usually) keep me up at night.



[Edited on April 4, 2014 at 10:01 AM. Reason : ^^]

usually some foreign language, a history, or some english class (all of which I am not a fan of) and I hate these dreams. I am getting them a lot lately
