So lately in my dreams, it seems that somehow my school manages to work its way into them. Some will be realistic, such as me taking a test or preparing to graduate. Others will be more abstract, such as my school being on the Citidal in Mass Effect or the rooms jumbled up and replaced with weird objects. Does this mean that I'm just still worried about school, or something bigger?
Dreams are often based upon what you do in waking life. Since you probably spend many hours every day in school, you're more likely to dream about it than about other things. You'll dream about it even more often if you're thinking about it throughout the day or if you're stressed out about it. The week I had exams, I probably dreamt about school every night. It's completely natural and there's no cause for alarm.
The same goes for other things, too; on days I play Minecraft for several hours, I usually dream about Minecraft. I'm guessing you've been playing some Mass Effect lately. :)
I know that it's boring to dream about waking life locations such as school, but of course you'll have other dreams in more exotic and interesting locations thrown in there, too. That's part of the reason why we strive to become lucid in our dreams, so we can pick our locations. I'd much rather be fighting an intergalactic space battle than be sitting in a classroom for hours! :D
