Dreams are as personal to the person in question. I don’t believe that the symbols in your dreams can be generalized to fit other people.
I have always been a vivid dreamer, and remember my dreams most of the time. So I’m often interested in dreaming information.
I’m still being haunted by dreams of having to take a math test and it’s been many years since high school! Second most common dream, I’m lost in an endless corridor of rooms that keep winding around and around and I have to get somewhere but I can’t.
I dream of past jobs.I’m retired now but I dream of working where I used to 30 and 40 years ago. and of where I worked just 3 years ago.
Nightmares in other words. (just kidding)
I have a strange recurring dream. My car is out of control and I open the door and drag my foot to slow the car. The road grinds off my foot up to the ankle. That’s when I usually wake up. Had this dream off and on for 70 years.
Only one of the dreams listed do I have commonly. The “unprepared for a test” dream. And I haven’t taken a test in 40 years. :)
I have two versions of the same recurring dream/nightmare.
In one I am in my underwear and far from home and hiding so nobody sees me in my underwear as I try to get back home.
In the other I find myself on foot on deserted streets in a really bad neighborhood late at night and am trying to get home alive with no one seeing me.

I’m back in College and I’m missing classes and even possibly tests because the Campus is so huge it is easy to get lost.
I will sometimes start dreaming the moment my head hits the pillow and I’m in a halfway wake states. Often I end up dreaming, during that state, of the creepiest and crawliest insects or reptiles you can imagine eating each other.
It is often vivid enough that I can’t stay in bed and have to get out at all costs.
Total pseudo science but enjoyable topic.
I don’t really have dreams much, or remember them.
I’ve never had any of those type of dreams... All my dreams are fun and interesting, so much so, I always wish I hadn’t woken up out of them. I feel like that ‘s a real blessing.
I had the exam dream numerous times for decades after I finished school - the key feature in my case was that I’d been cutting the course all term long, and didn’t even know the date of the final exam until I’d already missed showing up for it.
One night I was asleep and dreamed that I was awake so I woke up only to find that I was asleep.

Shrinking babies. Giant waves crushing against a wall on a narrow beach. Black water. Trains and roads that lead to beaches and forests in the middle of the city. Being in eighth grade and trying to plan my life so I have the same children I do now. Large rooms filled with old furniture in buildings that do not have those rooms.
For a few years, I would occasionally have nightmares that my husband and I were no longer married, getting a divorce, or I was married to someone else.
You know what those dreams told me?
I needed to make love to my husband more.
As long as we were connecting frequently, the nightmares went away.
Since I value my husband and my sleep, we connected frequently.
Peaceful dreams. Happy marriage.
I visited the South Pole in Antarctica. The pole itself is located in a flat area paved over with flagstone or masonry with a rock wall on the far side. One follows a trail through rough terrain to reach it. It is guarded by police who are very unfriendly to visitors. The South Pole even has a zip code--88329Nearby is another trail that leads to the top of a hill, where one can view the rugged terrain in the surrounding area. However, I didn’t see much when I climbed up there because it was night.
There is also a small town nearby called Winesburg. There, I drank a wine cooler and joked about drinking wine in Winesburg. Someone told me that there was a winery nearby.
The weather was pleasant, this being summer, but I was told that winters at the South Pole can be quite cold.
This isn’t useful. I want to know why I dream of not having clothes on. I hate those dreams.
Interesting posts and
subject.
I’ve dreampt a few times
of being confined in
tight spaces, though there
is always some way of escape.
Hard to explain the anxiety
and fear. Some of these
dreams have bothered me for
days at a time.
