I hated school when I went. It was an awful experience and I don't know why we have such a fucked up system. Anyway when I was going to school I would have nightmares about going. I spent way more time in school than most people. I was in high school for 7 years and also failed kindergarten. I was required to go to after school classes and summer school as well to catch up. I finally got out when I was 22 years old. Since then I have had this recurring dream still.
The dream is I am still stuck in school. It is revealed that my diploma was fake and I still have to take more classes. In these dreams I wonder if I am being lied to about my diploma being fake and the staff refuses to show me my transcripts. I am always my current age (now 30) and am in a class with kids making fun of me for being a grown man stuck in school.
I have these dreams at least once a week for the past 8 years. I just had it again last night. I don't think they will go away and I am doomed to go back to school at night whether I like it or not. I have even tried shooting up the school to end it all (in the dream) but it just comes back.

    I still have nightmares about an old manager I had, in my dreams she turns into a banshee/sea hag and follows me around and pops out of closets. In the last dream I threw her down some stairs so I hope that's the end of it!
    Anyway its normal to have bad dreams about situations you hate, hopefully you will stop having them though.

    I had a dream last night that Alucard from Hellsing stopped a bus that I was on because he wanted to eat someone and I was happy because it was Alucard but then someone or something bad came and Alucard saved all of our lives and I was happy.

    Yeah, the school system is pretty screwed up and you have every right to have nightmares about it. However, you have no obligation to go to school anymore. I don't have any suggestions that will really help with the nightmares other than reaffirming to yourself that you are free everyday that you can. Really bask in that freedom you got after graduation.
