Home'scool Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I have had a recurring dream for the past few years. I have had repeating dreams before but this one has taken front and center for the past few years. The oddest thing, though, is that last night my dream completely resolved itself! My dream is this: I am a teenager entering a new high school (I did switch high schools in my sophomore year so there is that...) It is a very large high school and I have been there for a few weeks when I realize that I have not made any friends. Everyone is pleasant but no one has gotten to know me and I literally know no ones name. I am not really stressed about the new school, but then I realize I have not attended a certain class (it is either math or writing) for weeks. I try to break down the problem by telling myself to find a copy of the class syllabus, do all the homework, and then approach the teacher and hope for the best. But, of course, I cannot find my locker, or I forget my combination, or I don't know which exact class it is, etc. In last night's dream I was at the same high school, only people were noticing me and being nice. One cute boy even helped me find my way around! And then a teacher handed me a date planner and it was all filled out with all the information I needed; the times of my classes, the location of the classes and all the assignments. Although the dream was never very stressful, as some dreams like that are, once I was handed the date planner I felt calm and knew I would be okay. I have never had a dream resolve before. I have a few things still in turmoil in my life right now and none of them seem to be close to resolution, so I'm not sure what to think. Any ideas? Even (insert Twilight Zone music here) any ideas that are spiritual? I do believe in that stuff so feel free to chime in with opinions! Thanks in advance! Edited August 9, 2021 by Home'scool Quote
Katy Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 Your unconscious was worried about handling something, things not going as expected. Last night you decided you would be okay. 1 Quote

Last night you decided you would be okay. Yep. Basically that simple. @Home'scool I have always been a very vivid dreamer......I used to have what I called my 'kindness dreams' when I was married to XH. The dream would be a man being nice to me. Sometimes it was romantic interest, sometimes it was platonic, but just a man being nice to me. It was so weird, so I started paying attention and I always, always, had one of those dreams after XH had been very mean to me. After I divorced him I have never had another of those dreams. And one time I had a dream that told me where my IRL missing favorite skirt was. Nothing weird about it....I had left it at my friend's house and forgot....my subconscious knew though. Quote
Jaybee Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 A version of this is a very common recurring dream. Mine are usually some form of: I am enrolled in school (university or otherwise), but I forget about some classes until it is too late to drop them, or even until it is time for the final. I go around all over the place trying to find the classroom, and I never find it before I wake up. 1 Quote

I wonder what our homeschooled kids (who have never been to school ever) will dream about! Quote
Home'scool Posted August 10, 2021 Author Posted August 10, 2021 I guess I was just confused because it has been a very stressful time for me and there are a lot of things still up in the air. I would have expected the dream to just be frustrating and full of anxiety. I'm just going to be glad that the dream finally ended well and take it as a sign that things may resolve soon! 🙂 2 Quote

Even if your jerk XH prevails and you don't get all you are due financially, you will be ok. Don't give him more space in your head than he deserves. Which is not much. 2 Quote
