I'm genuinely curious why this dream pattern seems to be quite distributed across many people. I still regularly have the dream where I realized after graduation that I had missed an entire college class or test (often varies depending on the specific dream), but this then nullifies my graduation and all my subsequent work. Also over 20 years ago, but still a regular visitor to my dreamscape. Taking very liberal inspiration from the idea of something like Jungian archetypes, more along the lines of there being attractors in the informational dream-space that create narrative clusters linked to common emotions (such as anxiety), I can imagine of set of emotion-to-dream-narrative mappings that would lead to some of the regularities often seen in distributed recurring dreams: - losing one's teeth - riding naked in the subway - being late to a class or missing a class/test entirely etc. Just wondering if there has been any research on this that doesn't try to fall on the old standbys of Jungian archetypes, collective unconscious, and other similar handwaving
