Haha I have had some pretty stellar naps lately, I dunno if they were so good that I thought I was back in the 90s though 😅

No, but I've had plenty about being back in high school/uni and failing this class or that one, usually math. Or - as a theatre major - going on stage to perform a lead role without giving the script a read. I was done with my university studies nearly 25 years ago.

One of my days off changes every week so it’s not uncommon for me to jump out of bed in a panic because I’m late on my day off.

Archibald_80@reddit

No, but for some reason reason I always dream I’m back in college, it’s the end of the semester, and I just realize I’ve forgotten to attend one of my classes the entire time and am now going to flunk.

Same

Kade7596@reddit

I've had that one a couple times, at least
Sometimes I even either mildly or wildly recreate the layout of the campus buildings lol

sherzisquirrel@reddit

I also have that dream... that and having to move and freaking out

[-]

Archibald_80@reddit

Alright, let’s all meet up behind the dream dorms and smoke a joint!

Cool_Dark_Place@reddit

Lol... I have dreams kinda like that, except I'm back in high school, but I'm my current age. For some reason, I have to retake all of my classes again in some kind of "Billy Madison" type of scenario. Very disconcerting.

ImA13x@reddit

Holy shit, I have the same dream!

[-]

drrj@reddit

Apparently there’s a lot of us.

Weird little variation, sometimes I instead dream I forgot or can’t find a huge paper or where/when my final is. I just dreamed I couldn’t remember or locate one of my college semester finals schedules like a week ago.

I graduated college in ‘98.

I had that actually happen to me, although I didn't realize it until I got my grade transcript after the semester ended and saw a big glaring 0 for my English Lit class that I had thought was supposed to be the next semester.

LondonCalled15@reddit

I frequently have the same dream! Mine are always school related or else I’m trying to go somewhere and have left my packing/getting ready to the last minute, and now dream-me is running late. (Yes, I am extremely Type A in real life!)

[-]

Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit (OP)

Haha right on, for some reason I dont dream much, maybe on 6 or 7 dreams a year, but when I DO dream they're especially strange and vivid

[-]

minibini@reddit

I used to dream that I missed a few credits in University and I’d have to go back to college. Then I wake up with a dreadful feeling.

NobodyLikedThat1@reddit

That dude is a rough 42

Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit (OP)

Haha yeah he looks worse than my buddy who is 54

I feel so left out. It seems I'm the only person that feels like absolute shit for the rest of the day if I have a nap.

[-]

shintojuunana@reddit

I told my husband to not let me nap. I get cranky, like really really cranky. I feel groggy, both too tired and too awake, and become an angry toddler. The exception is when I am legitimately sick, and then I wake up like a Disney princess with song and dance included.

[-]

mjp31514@reddit

My relationship with sleep is tenuous at best, so taking a nap totally obliterates my flimsy excuse for a sleep schedule. My wife, however, could probably sleep for days if she really wanted, so I understand feeling left out.

[-]

No_Squash_8127@reddit

Might be sleep apnea 🤔

[-]

No-Championship-8677@reddit

Yes this is me also! You are not alone!

[-]

Mega_Dragonzord@reddit

Nope, I am the same way. I wake up in a cold sweat with my heart pounding. I can only nap when I am really sick, and even then I usually don't.

[-]

splanchnick78@reddit

Oh no, I’m with you, naps make me feel awful.

[-]

AintNobody-@reddit

Yeah, I can only nap if I’m sick. If I’m just a little sleepy in the afternoon and take a nap, when I wake up I always feel overheated and like my heart is racing.

But those sick naps, oh man they feel great.

[-]

puma_pantss@reddit

I just feel so groggy that its usually just the end of my day. If I had prior plans, they're over.

[-]

pcoltimber@reddit

I dream that I forgot to feed my dog that died in 2004. Or a close second. I'm late for a football game, and I forgot my pads.

[-]

ccduke@reddit

I had dreams I was in high school again lol

[-]

3OsInGooose@reddit

I routinely get the "we screwed something up with your transcript and you actually need to come back and do a semester of college." It's always move-in day.

My wife sometimes joins me, but never the kids.

[-]

burnafter3ading@reddit

I literally had a dream that I had a research paper due. I finished my MA in 2008

[-]

Ed_geins_nephew@reddit

I never missed the school bus. I was either on it or I was skipping that day.

[-]

Roland-Of-Eld-19@reddit (OP)

Either make the bus or hang out with this guy

pawogub@reddit

I recently had a high school dream. I was panicking cause I didn’t know what my schedule was or where to go. I was super embarrassed and thinking what happened how could I forget this?

Then I woke up and remembered I’m 41.

[-]

Jolly-Persimmon-7775@reddit

I’ve been living rural since Covid but in my dreams I’m always in my 20s-30s still wandering around a big crowded city. And my younger brother is perpetually how I remember him from childhood.

[-]

Consistent-Camp5359@reddit

Occasionally lol. I am also bipolar and if I sleep in past time to take my meds…I feel like I visit other dimensions and different lives I’m living. One is still me in school. I hate it.
