I keep having really stressful dreams about failing my re-exam, and it’s starting to get to me. Last night’s one was especially intense.
In the dream, I left home 2 hours earlier than usual so I wouldn’t be late, but somehow I still reached the exam center 30 minutes late. Then I couldn’t even find my exam room. I kept searching everywhere, panicking, and when I finally found it, things got even worse.
The people sitting at my bench wouldn’t let me sit down. One guy literally blocked me from writing by holding my hands. I was shouting and trying my best, but no one helped—not even the invigilator, who was just standing there doing nothing.
By the time he finally let go, there were only 5 minutes left, so I basically failed again.
It felt so real and frustrating, like no matter what I did, everything kept going wrong. I woke up feeling anxious.
Does anyone else get dreams like this? What do they even mean?
