In my dream I had an important assignment given to me by my senior year math teacher from highschool except in the dream I was in college or a university. Apparently I was in it for computer science, which, in real life I am teaching myself coding because I can’t afford college. My friends kept telling me in the dream that I had to finish this assignment because it was super important and a big part of my grade but I just couldn’t bring myself to care enough to do it. I got demotivated to do the assignment and so I didn’t actually attempt to do it or turn it in until the deadline had passed. In reality this isn’t unusual behavior for me, I never could get myself to care about having good grades. But I prayed that my teacher would be forgiving and just take my assignment but I don’t think she ever did, she was not the type to take anything past the deadline much less count it towards your grade. I felt bad and regretful having not done it. I think the school I was in was in New York City.

I was in a high school but I already graduated college. I went back to high school for performing arts and I had this one English class that I kept skipping and was falling behind because I missed so many classes and assignments. I had a dream like that a few months ago where I signed up for a science class and never showed up to it

I dreamed about my exhusband, Craig. This was strange because I rarely think about him anymore. I can’t remember the dream clearly, but I do remember something was wrong with him. His health or his situation. Then I was getting on a large vessel. I’m not sure if it was a plane or a train. Maybe even a boat. I had SO much baggage. Other travelers were getting irritated and remarking that I had too much and why was I bringing so much stuff with me! I started organizing the things and combining things and hiding things so that they would see that I didn’t have so much stuff. Then I was with a friend in her car. She isn’t known to me in the real world. The car was very small and sporty. A convertible. She was very proud of it. Someone asked her why she bought it and she said it was because it was beautiful and she had to have it. I thought that was wrong and she should have said it was because of the engine or because it was a rare and sought after car. I also wanted to add that I have a small car too, a mini cooper (which I do in real life), but I knew that even though it was also a small car, it wasn’t special or beautiful like hers. Then I was at a college. Not a normal college but one that was only for creative arts. Painting, sewing, making things from felt. I wanted to go there and learn all those things. I looked at a studio at the college and wanted to rent that studio to make art and be around creative people and learn. I was walking up a flight of stairs at the college and I found a plastic bag. The bag contained some papers and some money. I picked it up secretly because I wanted to keep the money. Later I met the person who the bag belonged to. I gave them back the papers but I kept the money. I acted like I had only found the papers. They seemed happy to have their papers back and didn’t mention the money but I was worried that they knew I had stolen their money, they just weren’t saying anything about it. Then I was walking with someone and they wanted me to look at a chicken yard. They thought the chickens were sick and needed to be destroyed. I went up a ramp into the yard and first I saw a couple of chickens, then more and more! The chickens loved me. They came up to me and wanted me to pet them.  One very small chicken even laid an egg for me but the egg was very small and misshapen. I explained that it was only because the chicken was small. There was nothing wrong with the chickens.

A couple of nights ago, I dreamed the somewhat recurring dream that I hadn't finished my degree and had to go back to a college in Iowa to finish it. In this dream, I had been out to Iowa already and was back at home living with my parents. And it was time for me to go back to college to keep finishing the degree. And I was saying, I really don't want to go. I don't want to go. I don't care about the degree. I like my job now. I want to stay in my job now. And even though the time frames are all mixed up, it was like I had my current job, even though I was a young adult in my parents' house.

Overall, the dream maintained a logical flow, although the timelines felt somewhat jumbled.

Reluctant Return to College

The dream conveyed a sense of frustration and reluctance about returning to college despite being content with my current job.

The intensity was moderate, reflecting a strong feeling of resistance towards the idea of going back to college.

The dream felt quite realistic as I experienced familiar settings like my parents' house and my current job.

The dream had a reasonable level of clarity, with distinct images of both my childhood home and the college environment.

Jane, your dream reveals a profound exploration of your personal and professional identity, particularly as it relates to your past choices and current circumstances. The recurring theme of returning to finish your degree signifies a deep-seated concern about unfinished business in your life. It suggests a part of you feels incomplete or perhaps is grappling with the idea of what it means to achieve success and fulfillment. The setting in Iowa holds significance—it represents a chapter of your life that may feel distant yet impactful, a place where you were once focused on academic achievement. This indicates that your subconscious is encouraging you to reflect on the decisions you've made and how they align with your current values and aspirations.

  Your insistence in the dream that you do not want to go back to college and that you are content with your job speaks volumes about your current state of mind. It illustrates a conflict between societal expectations and personal satisfaction. You are at a stage where you appreciate the stability and fulfillment your job provides, and there’s a clear indication that you value this present moment over a past goal that may no longer resonate with you. This internal struggle may suggest a fear of regressing or losing the progress you’ve made in your career and personal life.

  Living with your parents in the dream represents a return to foundational aspects of your life. It may symbolize feelings of dependency or the comfort of familiarity, juxtaposed with your desire for independence and self-actualization.

Dream About Finishing Degree In Iowa

I had a dream that I was at college with my girlfriend Nikki. It was freshman year and we met at the college. There was a big flood through the dorm. I remember trying to sneak in her dorm but she had a roommate. I tried to get her roommate to switch but she didn’t want to. I told Nikki that I liked her but she didn’t believe me or didn’t believe that I was gay.

I bought a book from half price books. I was searching through the bookstore and there were ladders and all sorts of leather bound books. I saw Bill Hader there. I brought home a book, then noticed my name was signed on the back, and a sticker from where I went to college. It was a book I once had for school years ago but somehow it was donated to the bookstore and I got it back again not realizing I read it before. It was a copy of the communist manifesto, there were pictures of my ancestors randomly inserted in the pages that I took out. My dad saw the book and was upset because he didn’t want it back in the house, but I really likes the book and reading it. My dad tried to take the book back, but I hid it to protect it.

I Had a dream where i Had to go to my university in person and finally do exercises there. So i gry there and i see that its a pretty small School. This teacher tells me that he will grach me (something, i forgot). Then we start to argue and i start explaining myself that his arguments dont worki. He says that i shouldent do that. All while i needed to stay on a page in my journal and write notes but I can't find the page because the notebook keeps opening some random pages. He reveals that he's a student and that he would rather stay home and learn and he asked me "wouldent u rather stay home instead of me teaching u?" I thought to myself that him teaching me was fun. Then I follow his lead because we have to go home. I decide that I'll walk after him to the bus stop and he will show me how to. So we sit beside each other and it's in the back of the bus in a dark spot. I think about giving him my phone number as the girls in front of him, were texting him and then saying something and laughing, just like they were friends. So I pull up my what's app and awkwardly I stumble and try to show him my qr code but it's not loading. Once it does load he scans it and I feel relief. The bus driver says that we need to squeeze together because there won't be space for passengers. I ask him "my own town isint this far away right?", he says "well how far away do u think it is?" And that makes me consider it a bit. When it comes to me getting off the bus. I get off and me, my friend and the girls in front of me are magically sitting in a bus stop. My friend leaves and I tell them "he didn't even say bye" then he comes zooming past with his bicycle and waves bye at Mr so I wave back. Then I leave the bus stop but realize I left my bag there along with my fanny pack. So I go back for them and I say to the girls "hahah I'm very disorganized today" they say nothing. I leave and I start walking through a brown forest when I hear a cop car. Not wanting to look suspicious I acted normal, but I decided to run a bit because I was allowed to, they couldn't arrest me for running. Then when they got close enough, I got out their way because their signal was on and over the megaphone I heard them talking about how the church was burned down and that 30 people were killed. I decided to run to the church, even tough I don't like going there and I have bad memories with it and help. It seems like I got there before the policemen because  I start throwing snow at the bottom of the smoke. I see a little boy and tell him to also throw snow at the fire, but not the smoke. The smoke clears up and I see a priest. I cover my mouth to not inhale the smoke and I run towards him. He seems calm. He says it was a little emergency and nothing bad happend. He says that the people testing what happend to the building that it was set on fire are coming. He asks me while looking out the window with me "is that then?" I try to answer him "umm yes in the white lab coats". 4 of them start putting tarps on different parts of the church and one of them offers me candy which, I take and I eat it, it was good. Them the priest takes a bag full of sweets and tells them that it's for them. They argue that they don't want it but the priest says they should take it. He decides to give one of a blue bottle of cleaning detergent and suddenly I have it too. Their arguing was the nice type of arguing where they are polite that they feel bad taking it. So then I go with the presit to the head of the church and see people gathering for mass but some of the pews are missing. I ask the presit where the pews are and then he says "well what do u think happend with the pews?" I see that they are stacked on top of each other for some reason, I thought they were burned by the fire. Then he starts to give a speech and people join in giving their own little speeches alongside. He introduces me to everyone as his guest and I raise my hand and smile. I think I raise it for too long so I put it down. He says that I was brave to put out the fire (even tough I didn't).

The dream follows a loosely connected narrative, with moments of conflict and resolution that seem to blend together.

University Chaos and Church Fire

The dream evokes a mix of anxiety and relief, especially during the interactions with the teacher and the bus ride.

The intensity is heightened by the urgency of the bus scenario and the emergency at the church.

The dream features realistic settings like a university and a church, but the chaotic events create a surreal atmosphere.

Details like the dark bus interior and the snow being thrown at the fire are vividly portrayed, enhancing the clarity of the dream.

Blaze, your dream takes us on a fascinating journey through your subconscious that reflects both your inner conflicts and desires. Starting with the scene at university, the small school can symbolize your feelings about your current educational environment. It may suggest that you feel a bit overwhelmed or that the setting doesn’t meet your expectations. The argument with the teacher could represent your struggle for autonomy and the desire to assert your views in a space that feels limiting. This tension highlights your need to advocate for yourself and possibly your frustration with authority figures who may not fully understand or support you. Your instinct to explain yourself indicates a strong desire for validation and respect, and your frustration may be a reflection of your real-world interactions with educators or peers.

  Moving through the dream, the chaos of your notebook symbolizes the unpredictability you might be feeling in your learning process. The inability to find the right page mirrors the confusion or disorganization you might be experiencing in your academic or personal life. This disarray could represent a fear of not being adequately prepared or a sense of pressure to perform well while feeling lost. When your teacher reveals that he is a student, it introduces an interesting dynamic of peer relationships. It suggests that you may be yearning for camaraderie and the comfort of shared experiences rather than the traditional teacher-student hierarchy. Your enjoyment in his teaching signifies that collaboration and mutual understanding are essential to your learning process.

  The bus ride represents a transition in your life, and the dark spot in the back can signify feelings of uncertainty or even solitude. Your thought of sharing your phone number to connect further with the teacher shows your desire to build relationships and create a support system, especially among peers. The moment of awkwardness with your phone reflects a fear of vulnerability and the challenges of initiating connections, especially in a social context where others seem more at ease. When the bus driver emphasizes a lack of space, it could symbolize feelings of being cramped or restricted in your current circumstances, alluding to a need for personal space or freedom.

  The encounter with the police and the church introduces darker themes of fear, guilt, and responsibility. Running away from the police indicates a desire to evade authority or perhaps a fear of judgment. The burning church signifies underlying trauma or memories that haunt you, suggesting that you’re grappling with past experiences that may still affect your present reality. Your instinct to help extinguish the fire with snow demonstrates your willingness to confront challenges, even if you have a complicated relationship with the church and what it represents in your life. The calmness of the priest amidst chaos reflects a desire for guidance and reassurance in times of distress. His reassurances that it was just a 'little emergency' may echo your need for someone to help normalize or downplay the challenges you face.

  Finally, the scene with the gathering for mass and your recognition as a guest highlights a craving for acknowledgment and acceptance in your community. The stacked pews may represent the layers of your experiences, both good and bad, that shape who you are today. Your raised hand symbolizes your courage to participate and be seen, even if you don’t fully believe you deserve the recognition. The priest's praise for your bravery, despite your internal doubts, suggests a longing for affirmation and the wish to be valued for your contributions, even when you feel unworthy. Overall, Blaze, your dream intricately weaves your feelings of confusion, desire for connection, and inner strength in facing challenges, reflecting a rich tapestry of your evolving self.

I drempt that I was starting college with a girlfriend on campus. My ex and our old friend group showed up in the middle of the day outside in front of the main entrance. My girlfriend and I passed right by my ex in the large crowd I think she noticed me but it was hard to tell. I felt awkward and proud of myself as the same time. After that it was night time and us college kids were in town getting our test scores from the big screen that everyone saw. I was disappointed to see that I failed and would have to leave college

In my dream, I was back at a college that I only went to for one year, but I was in some weird type of stagecraft class and we were making these huge banners or flags. We were making four each and painting them. And there was a complicated mechanism where once they were painted, we could send them up into the sky and they were flying really high, almost like kites, but they were banners. And then we all put them up. I didn't have all of mine done, but I put two of them up in the air and they were flying up really, really high and you could see them from a long ways away. And then later I came back and there was like a big storm coming with dark clouds and so forth. And most of the students had taken their banners down, but a few were still up, including mine. So I had to rush over there and try to get them down before they were damaged in the storm.

Flying

Storm

Last night I dreamed I was at a college that I went to for only one year but I was my current age or at least older than college and I was back to finish the remaining three years. I didn’t know any of the teachers or instructors actually I knew one student, but I’m not sure why he was still there, but other than that, I didn’t know any teachers are instructors and the current instructors were not being very helpful to me. I told them the person who ran the program back when I was there said I could come and finish my three years and still get my degree but a lot of them didn’t think that was possible and I probably shouldn’t be there, however, I kept going to classes and I had some sort of interesting stage clack craft class where we were making these huge banners we painted them and then we had the system to put them up in the air so they were flying kind of like kites or huge flags it was kind of cool came back later and most of the students had taken their flag down and there was a big storm coming and my was still up there so I went to it back down

While the dream had a storyline, it felt fragmented, especially with the unexpected return to a college environment.

Returning to College

The dream carried a sense of nostalgia mixed with frustration as the dreamer navigated unfamiliar instructors.

The intensity was moderate, with moments of anxiety about being accepted in the classes despite uncertainty from the instructors.

The setting felt somewhat familiar yet disjointed, as the dreamer was in a college they attended briefly.

Details of the colorful banners being crafted were vivid, making the dream visually striking.

Jane, your dream about returning to college at your current age presents a fascinating exploration of your past and present. The fact that you were at a college where you spent only a year suggests that there may be unfinished business or unresolved feelings related to that time in your life. It reflects a desire to revisit experiences that shaped you but also hints at a longing to complete something that feels incomplete, perhaps a sense of achievement or validation that you didn’t receive back then. This theme of returning to school signifies a quest for knowledge and growth, indicating that you might be at a stage in your life where you are reflecting on your past choices and considering how they influence your current identity.

  The unfamiliarity with the teachers and instructors in your dream speaks volumes about feelings of uncertainty and disconnection. It may symbolize a sense of being out of place or feeling unsupported in your current endeavors, whether they are professional or personal. The fact that one student from your past was still there is intriguing; it may represent a connection to your younger self or an aspect of your life that you still hold dear. This student could embody a part of your identity that you are still trying to reconcile with your present self, suggesting that you might be seeking reassurance or companionship as you navigate through your thoughts and experiences.

  Your interaction with the instructors who doubted your presence reflects internal conflicts regarding your self-worth and legitimacy.

Dream About Finishing College

The dream was moderately coherent, with a storyline that made sense but had some surreal elements like the abrupt change in emotions.

The Unexpected Study Group

The dream had a tense and suspicious emotional tone, as the dreamer felt betrayed and angry.

The intensity was high due to the emotional confrontation and feelings of betrayal.

The dream had elements of realism with a plausible scenario involving a boyfriend and a group of friends.

The dream was quite vivid, with detailed interactions and clear dialogue.

Michelle, your dream is rich with emotions and underlying themes that reveal significant aspects of your subconscious concerns and desires. The scenario begins with your boyfriend going to college and making a new friend, which you initially seem to accept with a sense of ease. This part of the dream might reflect your conscious attempts to be open and trusting in your relationship. However, the introduction of this new female friend could symbolize underlying insecurities or fears about the stability and exclusivity of your partnership.

  When the dream transitions to him bringing home not just one friend, but six, it amplifies the feeling of being overwhelmed or blindsided by circumstances that are beyond your control. This could represent the internal struggle between your rational mind, which tries to be understanding, and your emotional self, which feels threatened by the unexpected presence of multiple women. The number six might also hold personal significance, perhaps symbolizing an overload of emotions or situations that feel multiplied and intensified.

  As you attempt to reach out to these women for a 'ladies night,' it suggests a desire for connection and understanding, perhaps even an attempt to assert your place in your boyfriend's social circle. This part of the dream highlights a yearning for companionship and a sense of belonging, which you feel is lacking in your current reality. The internal dialogue about not having any friends points to a deeper sense of loneliness or isolation, which might be something you're grappling with outside of the dream.
