Recurring Dream
Posted by Nikolas in Nik's Blog on Mar 7, 2011
The school semester is going awesome. It’s my last year of college and I totally have my act together studying hard and really focusing in on my major. I wake up in a panicked sweat because I realize I might have missed a major midterm exam in one of the few remaining general education courses I have left (always a history course). I tended to skip a lot of class days for courses I felt really didn’t need my presence to obtain the information required. I would really get worried if there was something I missed because I didn’t go so often. I then realize I graduated seven years ago! Why in the hell do I still have this dream? I have my diploma, so nothing to freak out about. I’m not even in school pursuing any further education. Yet this dream is still fairly regular. This is the why I wont return to school for more education. I always had poor study habits. I feel very lucky to have been able to complete my degree with minimal studying. No way in hell could that fly in graduate school. At least my dreams are about things years past. Tell me I’m not the only one with this terrible dream?
I still have school dreams whenever I’m facing a lot of stress. It’s usually towards the end of the school year, and I can’t remember going to any of my classes, so how am I going to pass the final? I usually spend part of the dream looking for a classroom and finally just settling on whatever open door I can find and hope for the best.
I also have dreams about high school soccer, weirdly enough. I usually can’t find my uniform and the game is about to start. Sometimes I get in the game and I can’t kick the ball to save my life.
