Why adults still dream about school

Re:Why adults still dream about school by robertsdionne on Thursday September 22, 2022 @09:50PM (#32947060)

I have a recurring dream where the university revokes my diploma years after graduating because I actually somehow dropped out of all my classes and forgot to finish the final projects/exams.

That never happened, but I did drop a couple classes before the withdrawal deadline to fix the workload. It feels so real though.

I have variants of this. I have a diploma but I took a class and failed it after and that dropped me below a certain gpa and my diploma gets revoked.

Or I don’t have a HS diploma even though I graduated college and have had a job for 20 years.

For me, that is a common setup for a dream where I then have to take high-school or college classes again as my adult self.

In my opinion...

You earned your degree, and your subconscious needs to needs to acknowledge it.

Why would you be drug down by this question? Perhaps there is a deeper reason.
