Do you have any recurring themes in your dreams?
[23]
The reason I asked this was because one of @cassanDRO1D's responses randomly reminded me for some reason, and I honestly didn't even realize it until then (lol @ how my brain works).
It's not super frequent, but it's happened enough to be considered 'recurring'. But I have had a number of dreams where I'm back in high school for some reason. And I have classes that I go to, a locker, sometimes I even drive home afterwards, etc. Almost all of them span like months and months.
But inevitably there will be one or two classes that I just don't go to or I haven't done my homework for, and so I keep staying away and not going. I know that my grade is going to be awful, but for some reason I convince myself it's better to stay away than to face the embarrassment of coming in after weeks and not knowing what the hell is going on. And I just keep feeling worse and worse and not knowing what I should do.
All of these scenarios are started because I will forget my locker combination, meaning I can't get any of my books out. Without a book, I can't participate in class, so I just stay away. Or I freak out because I never forget combinations. A few times I've even tried to go to the staff to get someone to open my locker, but I end up not having proof that it's actually mine or there's some paperwork that requires a bunch of shit I just don't know.
I've also had a dream where I just completely forgot to sign up for classes. I showed up for school anyway and they sent me somewhere and then they couldn't prove that I was actually in the system or something. I don't know.
All of these end before the school year actually ends, but I'm always left feeling SUPER ULTRA PARANOID. I hate the feeling that I've forgotten something really important and have no way of getting it back, or just that slow spiral out of control that you can easily fix but are just paralyzed with fear and avoid like the plague.
Ugh.
