I've been told that people who actually do fail out of school tend to not have these kinds of dreams, or at least at a reduced rate.
I've asked some aquaintences over the years and their experiences didn't contradict that assertion.
Could be an interesting research topic.
- sidvit 4y agoI pretty much flunked outta college my first time around and "Failing and having to repeat grade X" and "Slept through the final" are two of my most common reoccurring nightmares
- tayo42 4y agoSame, I was kicked out of my first try at college for low grades and have had variations of the school dreams in the article
- jacooper 4y agoI think its because its something they faced, and dealt with, it didn't destroy their life, the way your parents told you it would.
- lupire 4y agoThere are lots of ways your life hasn't been ruined, but you don't dream about them.
- Woeps 4y agoI just stop going halfway my Bachelor and basically only have "cool" dreams about school (if at all). So you might be on to something.
- karencarits 4y agoThe early psychoanalysts made this observation and Freud mentions it as well. They did not have large sample sizes though; see e.g. https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1080/00332747.1961.11023281 https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1080/00332747.1961.110...
