I had one where I worked at a school and a 6 year old girl named Cadey (pronounced like Katie) would always bring a toy from home and surprise everyone with it. But one day she brought in her parents’ gun and shot a boy. Everyone was shocked except me, because I had a stop sign growing out of my neck and couldn’t afford to see a doctor 🇺🇸 and was so overwhelmed.

    I had another one of those a couple nights ago. Was getting ready for bed (in dream) at my parents place and realized it was Thursday and I hadn’t been to school in awhile… Which classes did I miss? When was the exam?

    I’m nearly 40, I graduated highschool when I was 17…

    Sometimes it’s a university dream though, exactly like yours. I was in a class and then forgot to go most of the semester, and now the exam has to be coming up… And did I have a big workbook to get done?

    That anxiety is 4 years fresher… But still. You’d think I’d move on…

      I suppose it goes to show just how much pressure, stress, and trauma we put ourselves through for a decent education. It has lasting effects, could even be a form of PTSD for some people.
