Thread: Reoccurring Dream

Hi all,

Am new here, and signed up so I could get some thoughts on what has been a reoccurring dream for about 6 months, every few weeks. However the feeling I get during it is very real, and rather disturbing each time.

Just to give some context to the dream about me - I left uni 5 years ago.

So the dream is centred around me in my final year of university, during exam time in May. I find myself extremely unprepared for coursework deadlines, and exams that are round the corner. In some cases, I find that I do not even have the correct schedule for my exams, and find out that there is an exam I didn't even know about in the next few days. My friends on my course are however very well prepared for it all. The dream then centres around me scrambling around trying to find ways out of this predicament, either to some success or not at all. The dream never gets to the point of me actually handing in a course work or sitting an exam .. rather just around me finding myself in an unprepared mess and trying to get out of it.

Although it doesn't sound a scary dream, the feelings that accompany it are very strong, and I tend to wake up after the dream with a very heavy feeling on me .. before there comes the relief that it was just a dream.

When I was at uni however, I did very well, and took my coursework deadlines and exam schedules very seriously...not in a million years would I have been so unprepared when I actually was there.

So i'm left thinking - why do I keep having these dreams, and what do they mean?

Please let me know any thoughts.

Many thanks to all.
