It's been a weird couple of weeks for me once I fall asleep, and I honestly don't know if it's nothing or my mind subconsciously telling me what to do. For the most part I don't dream, and if I do they vary from being chased by the Exorcist chick to nailing Jessica Alba. But for the last two weeks straight every night I've had a dream that involves school in some way or another. Now I never went to college, and a part of me feels like I missed a great experience, but I never could justify paying to go to school without some sort of direction. I don't know if it's some sort of omen, or if I should just ignore it and go on with life.....


what does everyone in here think?

 

Your brain is more active during sleep than it is during the day. The stuff you think about during the day, think about it, is nothing compared to what your brain exercises at night.

 

i have lots of dreams about still being in school. or completely forgetting about a class for months, and then having to show up on test day.

also, lots of dreams about driving cars with brakes that dont work... those suck

 

Just go ahead and eat those crotch crumbs junior.

 

go to school if u can. its never too late.
its obvious thats what u want.

 

I went back after a 7 year hiatus.

 

One theory of dream interpretation is to look at a key part of the dream (in this case school) and describe it - for example does it have a different meaning in each dream? In one dream it could represent unfulfilled dreams/an unfinished "journey" or goal); in another it could mean increased debt load (worry/stress?)...Whatever general concept it represents in the dream could be connected to a totally different scenario or dilemma you have in your waking life.

 

IT's never too late to go back.

my dad is 62 and has 3 master's degrees and just went back to learn more stuff.

 

Weird! Those are almost exactly the two recurring dreams I have every once in a while. (1) I'm taking a test in school that I'm totally unprepared for because I didn't study or never went to class. (2) I'm driving along at night and everything is going dark and I can't see and must hit the brakes.

 

the only reoccurring dream i can remember is bmx biking and going off a massive jump, waking up as i am about to hit the ground.

on a related note, i hate when i wake up and talk as if i am still in the dream...i always feel like a dumbass when i realize it. sometimes i try to cover for myself even if i am alone
