The dream: You're back in school, and you're about to take a big test, but you suddenly realize that you haven't been to class all semester and there's no way you will pass.
Who has it: High achievers, the type of people who would never actually be unprepared for an exam.
What it means: You could have too many things on your plate and need to say "enough is enough."
I used to have this one all the time, especially when I felt overwhelmed or out of control.? The only problem with their interpretation is that when I was in college I actually did skip classes and I did show up unprepared for exams.? Still passed though!? ?
Reminds me of a scene from the 80s movie, Top Secret! Val Kilmer fell unconscious while being beaten and tortured in a German prison and dreamt that he was back in school, missed all his final exams and would have to repeat his last year. He awoke with great relief upon discovering he was still in prison and fortunately no longer in school.
