I've had one over the past year or so that feels so real and I hate it. I get a letter from my high school stating that a mistake was made, and I didn't actually have enough credits to graduate. I'm told that my diploma is being revoked and that I need to take like a full year of classes full time to graduate again. Part of me is like, wtf, who cares - this probably wont affect my bachelor's degree and JD. But then another part of me is like omg, what if my degrees are taken away from me because I really wasn't a high school graduate. lol. So I enroll in fucking high school, where I have to take a bunch of math classes and it's been 15 years since I've taken math, and it is absolute hell. I also have no time to study and keep trying to explain to my teachers that at 34 years old I have to work full time to pay my bills, and that I'm a fucking lawyer - do I really need to turn in this f-ing high school book report? I'm so angry in the entire dream and spend my time begging and pleading with teachers and administrators to not make me do this.
I think I've talked about this before, but I have a recurring dream that I'm driving and my brakes suddenly fail. I can feel myself pumping them and panicking. And I always end up hitting an old man on a bike. It's so real it's scary

I keep having a dream that I'm chewing gum (I never chew gum) and then when I want to talk, the gum keeps multiplying in my mouth and I can't get it out and then I can't talk--I'm just continuously trying to pull the gum out. I don't know what that says about me.

I hate when I have the dream about my diploma being revoked. I'm always riding a tricycle in it when I have to go to meet with them and tell them why they're wrong. Seriously, when the fuck can I at least move up to a bike with training wheels?
I have recurring dreams that I missed an important exam because I forgot about it, and didn't go, and then I spend the rest of the dream tryong to figure things out and beggin people to let me graduate anyway. Sometimes I am in HS, sometimes in college, sometimes it is my CPA exam, sometimes grad school, lol. But the general idea is always the same.
My H has recurring dreams that I am cheating on him. I asked my mom about it (she is a dream guru, lol) and she said it is because he isn't getting anough sex. OMG. It was a vwery awkward talk, trying to tell my mom that my husband DOES get enough sex. And it was in front of my uncle, omg again, who told me "Papie, my mother always said "To keep a man happy, you need to keep his stomach full and his testicles empty". omg omg omg

I have this one too! The worst is when some of my TEETH come out IN THE GUM as I pull it out. Yuck.
The dream I have the most is going to college and moving into a dorm but not having a CLUE what my class schedule is. Various people are in these dreams and different things happen but it's always at a college and I'm lost. Last night's involved watching the marching band. Weird. In most of these dreams I try to find a computer to look up my schedule but CANNOT type anything coherently.
I have both of those too. The class thing and the teeth in the gum.

I have several, mostly anxiety related:
- I have to get somewhere and I'm really late and can't get there. - I'm driving and the brakes don't work. - I'm in a building that's falling over. - It's almost the end of the semester and I haven't been to class and don't even know what classes I'm taking (I graduated 4 years ago).
There are probably more, but these are the ones I remember most. Oh, when I was a kid there was one where skeletons were taking over and I was hiding in my living room. I haven't had that one for years, though.
I sometimes have a dream where I'm in college and about to graduate, but then realize that I forgot to go to a class all semester long and now I'm not going to pass.
This actually happened to me IRL - well, I didn't exactly "forget" to go to class - yet, as anxiety-producing as that semester was at the time, I never have dreams about it now.
I'm always driving around trying to find something in my dreams, going through landscapes that are similar to San Francisco, Chicago, and St. Louis, the three cities I've lived in as an adult. I almost always end up in and alley in North St. Louis and wake up in a panic.

I have this one too, usually every other month or so.
In high school I used to dream that I was pregnant. Everyone, including my parents, was so happy and excited. I was the only one that was horrified that I was 15 and pregnant and kept thinking WTF to all the people who congratulated me.
I also have a school related dream, but it's that I forget I have a class on my schedule and don't realize it until like 5 weeks into the semester. I also have a dream that my teeth fall out. Is always in a different way and a different number of teeth that fall out, but I hate them all. Freud says its either relationship or money relate.
I had a reoccurring dream when I was younger was that I hadn't graduated from high school and I had to repeat my senior year. I had that dream on a regular basis until I was around 35.
I also have a recurring dream that I drank or used drugs, but I don't remember actually using--I dream of being terrified about changing my sobriety date. I've been having that dream for almost 25 years, and I imagine I'll always be stuck with that one. lol
The most current reoccurring dream now is I'm STILL MARRIED to my ex-dh. We are still living together but we're not getting along. And I'll tell him "this has gone on long enough--we NEED to get a divorce!"
I've always wondered if these dreams are from PTSD? We dream about traumas to our subconscious?
