It's Just a Dream He Keeps Having
All right, you amateur psychologists, it’s dream analysis time. Early this morning I awoke in the middle of a dream I’ve had several times before…I’m in high school on the day of a history exam and I’m dreading the passage of time until class. I haven’t studied or read or even been to class enough to even know where the classroom is.A similar dream I have frequently is…I’m backstage during the production of a play and I have this awful sinking feeling that it’s about time for me to go onstage and deliver my lines. Only problem is, I have no clue what play it is, and I can’t find a script anywhere.
So, obviously lots of anxiety in my subconscious, but…what does it all mean?

I have very similar dreams. My dream is that I haven't been to class in a couple of months and I haven't done any work or taken any tests or anything. But it's the end of the semester of my senior year, and if I fail the class, I'm not going to graduate.
I may be totally wrong, but here's my theory. I believe I'm subconciously putting myself in a race against time. I have given myself things that I want to accomplish in life, and as time goes on, I look around and see I've accomplished some things, but I'm not where I want to be in life.
It's sort of a fear of squandering time, so to speak.
Right after I graduated last year I started having the same dream buenoman is talking about. In mine, it is the last week of school and I'm checking over my schedule and realize I've been enrolled in a class I never went to once. I'd start to panic, my mind reeling, searching for a way to get out of the bind I'd put myself in. And then I'd wake up and spend the next 5 minutes convincing myself that it was only a dream, and that I had indeed already graduated.
I had this dream about 4 or 5 times and it each time it was one of the most unnerving experiences of my life.
I don't really have any thing helpful to say about what they might mean.
I will add a couple of my dreams in here...
I have had dreams like the second dream you've had...its starts out, i'm back stage with my cello and someone comes to me and says your playing dvorak with the orchestra...i then panic because i don't know that concerto and i don't even know what key its in to make up something...
Then my recent dreams have been i'm out on a school trip (usually a contest)and my kids are going crazy and i can't get them under control...i'm yelling and screaming and they are just running around and yelling and screaming themselves...talk about unnerving when you wake up...
maybe these dreams have to do with a fear of not knowing whats coming...now that life isn't in the route of school, we're kind of just at the liberty of whatever happens next and we most of the time don't know what that is...
i think my second dream my have to do with having a fear of not being in control of my own life, which has something to do with the first...
