Has anyone here ever had a dream where you are back in high-school and you suddenly realize you haven't gone to this class the entire semester and have to take a test in it?
Why do so many of our dreams in later life go back to our high-school era?

"Taught Sisyphus to rock." -- just saw that in your profile. Love it. His story is a great one, filled with daily challenges that ultimately led no where.
Which one was the one that had his insides pecked out by a bird?

That's another type of dream I have fairly regularly. It makes sense that those years are the most critical for our social growth and going from a kid with barely any responsibilities to becoming an adult that feels the full weight of the world on our shoulders.

Yeah but rolling a rock up a hill every day for millennias also doesn't feel too appealing.

I used to get that every so often, more so for university. After a whilele of no longer needing to do exams, the dreams became running late for an international flight, that I was almost certainly going to miss. I concluded my brain is just a jerk.

I have woken up in the middle of the night in a panic that I have forgotten to do my math homework. I think I will be passing this trauma in to my children in their DNA.

This has made me aware of this recurring dream I keep having and then forgetting. There’s one specific class that I just ignore and avoid for the whole year without being called out on it, but then the looming dread slowly catches up to me

I used to get that one all the time. Those dreams decreased exponentially once I finally finished my PhD, which dragged out for a decade. When I teach I sometimes get the dream again.

I get that nightmare a lot about undergrad, but I also did that in about half of my classes so it’s based in reality.
