Why do I keep having nightmares about school? Either I'm sitting in a class and am completely unable to process the information being said, or I'm on my way to an exam and can't remember what's on it, or where it is. Last night was at least the third or fourth time I can consciously remember having a dream like that, and I'm sure there were more before I lowkey started trying to count them.

Not sure where these dreams are coming from, since overall I didn't do too bad in school. There were definitely rough spots, everything from feeling isolated and alone in a class I couldn't follow but everyone else seemed to be fine with, to meltdowns over assignments, to a bit of cheating when I didn't think I could pass if I played fair. But still, I had more decent experiences than bad ones, and in the end everything turned out okay. I didn't even start having these dreams until well after I graduated. So yeah... Not sure what my silly brain is doing.

@musicalman excuse me I did not realize I wasn't following your account here. Bad bad me. But yeah I've started recently as in over the past year or two having really strange school related dreams myself. They usually consist somehow of an entire damn school day, where things usually end up going pretty damn strange and wrong almost right away.

@Bri @musicalman I've had weird school dreams since about three years after I graduated, but lately, it's the last day of school, I'm my current age, and I'm sitting in English class posting on Mastodon that I'm still in school for some reason, and I don't know why, but everyone else seems cool with it.

Or sometimes, school is out for the summer, but I got left behind with no way to get home. Then I realize I have no home, and this is just my life now.

There usually isn't actually much about the mechanics of school itself.

@BorrisInABox @musicalman oh god, I've had a shit ton of dreams that consist of me being left behind at school after a school day or whatever, those are just freaky
@Bri @musicalman Yeah. That's never actually happened, but I was at school at 11:30 PM a couple of times, which was really, really strange. No, I didn't go to a residential school, where that would at least have made a little more sense.
@BorrisInABox @musicalman oh, I had a dream one time where I had a normal school day, but it started at like 8 PM and went to like, midnight or 1 AM, that was a weird one.
@Bri @musicalman Well, not that, but the bell scheduler at my school was analog, and 12 hour. So the bells just kinda rang all night long with no one to hear them, except me a couple of times, and janitors, I guess. Kind of felt bad for the bell.
@BorrisInABox @musicalman oh wow. 12 AM, it's lunch time fuckas
