@MrLovenstein You mean I'm not the only one having these!? That's quite specific!
@MrLovenstein Whoa, how do you see my dreams.
I am in my sixties and I still have this dream every now and then.
Higher education obviously causes some kind of PTSD :)

@MrLovenstein @Cyberop5 Why must that specific dream haunt me so
@catsalad @MrLovenstein in my case it was because I thought I dropped the class. Then I checked my official schedule the week of finals 
@catsalad @MrLovenstein @Cyberop5 I've had very similar. But was more of a Happy Gilmore situation. Was my current age, but somehow back in highschool? Getting stressed over midterms and crap all over again lol.

@catsalad @MrLovenstein @Cyberop5 sometimes it even happens, according to my school records...
@MrLovenstein I'm still having this nightmare in my 60s.
@MrLovenstein These are easy to stop. It only requires actually forgetting a class all semester, finally remembering and showing up on the single final exam..
@MrLovenstein sorry man. i dont relate to this. my brain is too joyous to conjure such wicked visions. next time, please accommodate for individuals like me
@MrLovenstein Lately I've been dreaming that I haven't been doing my homework and not even writing down the homework in my assignment notebook. Why brain?!
@MrLovenstein WHY IS THIS SO DAMN COMMON
Like, I have repeatedly had the "forgot a class" dream, and that's like... impossible. /and yet/
You might have noticed it's hard to remember dreams, long term.
So my guess is that dreams serve to dredge up memories that are candidates for pruning, such as embarassing but unimportant moments. They can reduce our fears and phobias, by preventing the re-remembering of the bad thought, after it's been recalled. And that's why dreams tend to suck, because we have an instinctive drive to think about things when dreaming that we'd really rather forget.
