I just had a nightmare that I was two hours late for school and my dad was yelling at me about it. I woke up in a panic and remembered “Oh wait, it’s Saturday.” And laid back down, feeling the panic dissolve.

Then…ten seconds later.

“I’m 31.”

The lasting psychological effects of school are very prominent

I have a dream about once a week that I slept through a class, or failed a test I really studied for, or am panicking about dropping out. Then my brain says “you don’t go to school anymore”. I’m 28. 

I mentioned it to my boss one day. She told me has a recurring dream that she can’t finish her essays in time and she is going to fail. It wakes her up at night all the time. 

She’s 65. 

My dad is 60 and still dreams that he can’t find the classroom where he’s supposed to take an exam.

I don’t really have school nightmares. Well, okay, I occasionally have dreams where I go an entire semester forgetting I have a class, so it’s halfway through the semester and I haven’t done anything.

But no, far worse than school nightmares for me are retail nightmares. I have Sit Straight Up Screaming Awake nightmares where I’m stuck working retail again. Those are the actual worst.
