I've been out of school for decades, but I can't shake this dream! It's starting to drive me nuts!

Heh, I know the feeling...I've had numerous recurrent dreams in which my afro is back or my hair is shoulder length as it once was before I chopped it off. I chopped my hair off over a year ago and don't wish to grow it again but in my dreams I'm typically ecstatic that my "glorious crown" has returned. Weird.

I've read that when we dream of being back at school, unprepared for exams etc then in real life we're actually really high achievers. It's probably our fear of being that of which we dream that motivates us to do well. Our unconscious reminds us that we have the capacity to be a low achiever too, if we so choose. That's what I go with anyway.
