"Missed the final" dream

I’ve gone to quite a few colleges, but only have dreams about 2 of them…decades after graduating.

One is the classic didn’t go to class/forgot to formally drop the class, with the most frustrating part being I can’t find the building in which the college posts the lists of where/when the final exams are being held. It’s not a huge campus, but nobody I ask knows where that building is. Actually graduated from this school in 1978, and still have the dream about 5 times per year.

The other is about a foreign university I attended…after I think I’ve finished the master’s degree, and have mved back to the USA, they contact me and tell me I flunked one course, and have to take it again. I have this one at least once per month.

It’s wonderful to hear so many other people have these dreams…but is kind of creepy and reminds me of “the Manchurian Candidate” (the original one with Frank Sinatra)and how all the soldiers were having identical nightmares years after the Korean war.

Mimk, you must be woman. If a guy had a dream in which a woman was using a vacuum cleaner in a hotel, it would probably have a different meaning.
