Although in order to provide a more accurate interpretation it would usually be best to have some additional general background information about you, it’s at least safe to say that because this dream is a recurring one, it’s important to uncover the message contained in it.
Since dreams speak via analogies and metaphors, they can be difficult to understand.
In this case, focusing on what it is you’re “half asleep” about (that is, mostly unconscious of) probably holds the key to the dream’s meaning.
Your attitude and feelings towards the unthreatening people in the dream is also an important clue.
For example, two strands appear: one is that you want to be friendly with them and the second one is that anxiety is somehow intertwined with this wish.
So the images of the people in the dream probably don’t represent the actual people per se but instead, the conflicting emotions caused by interacting with others at college.
Perhaps you’re mostly a quiet person for whom the often overcharged atmosphere of college might be causing some unconscious worries and upsets but you’re only partly aware of these.
Going to college is a life experience from which a person can learn how to balance out conflicting demands in a pressure situation.
Some kids react to the pressure by relying too much on alcohol and other drugs to kind of anaesthetize themselves.
A certain number of others may become workaholics to block out any need to socialize with others.
In your case, there might a danger that you could possibly become too socially involved with others because at heart, you like people, but this maybe could put undue pressure on your studies.
So the idea could be that while college is a great place to make life-long friends, there might be a need for you to recognize that at some level, it perhaps would be best for you personally to concentrate on a small handful of friends instead of trying to overextend yourself in this area of college life.
If you mull over this interpretation and it seems to click in some way, the dream should stop recurring or at least happen much less often.
Anyway as mentioned, without knowing anything much about you, this way of looking at your dream might not fit your personal circumstances very well, but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way.
Please feel free to ask any questions or to make any comments about this particular way of looking at your recurring dream.
