Hey when do you stop having stress dreams about college is it never because it feels like never and I’m gonna be an 80 year old woman waking up in the middle of the night on my ergonomic water bed on the moon like “FUCK I DIDN’T TAKE MY QUANTITIVE REASONING REQUIREMENT THEY ARENT GONNA LET ME GRADUATE”
I am 37 and every once in awhile I have a dream that they take my degree away because I actually failed Biology.
I had this dream last night.
I have nightmares that I don’t pass swimming in high school. But I’m terrified of water and also I’m naked. It’s the worst case of so many things. I also dream I didn’t pass fourth grade sometimes.
I have nightmares that involve me taking middle school classes during my senior year of college because they think I didn’t take that math. I have my degree already. :|
Yes I’m like… But I have a masters… Why are they being mean to me about math?
I can’t believe it took people this long to figure out that the American education system gives people PTSD.
Is that what it is?
I usually don’t remember my dreams but for the last decade when I do I usually journal them. I looked over my dreams tag at LiveJournal and Tumblr, and a significant percentage of those recorded, more than 25% but less probably than 60%, are college-related.
I still have dreams where I am in a play that I haven’t gone to any the rehearsals, or learned any of my lines, and everyone is mad at me, and either I’m kicked out, or I have to go on with dress rehearsal/opening night workout knowing a damn thing.
I have a recurring nightmare where I’m back at high school, but I don’t know what classes I have to go to because I lost my timetable, and for whatever reason I can’t get another one.
