Back in High School

Lately, I've been having dreams about being back in high school, although I've been out of school for years. My same high school friends and teachers are in them. Usually, I cannot find my locker, forget my gym clothes, etc. Why are my dreams taking me back?

Were yours my dreams, I'd look at what's happening with me now and how it feels similar to anything that I felt then. I would look at how I feel not finding my locker, not having my gym clothes (I'd feel like a "loser" and be disappointed/lonely my friends and teachers can't help me and/or "must" think badly of me; mostly anxious) and then would look at current situations at work, school, family, whatever, to see if I could find where similar feelings were cropping up right now.

Because your dreams are taking you back, usually means to me that it's an ongoing problem I have been struggling with, at least since that period of time. When I was in therapy with my T the second time, after a break of 9 years, I often dreamed about where I lived the first period I saw her (I saw her for 9 years then didn't see her for another 9 before seeing her again). We were working on issues that I had that first period that we didn't get to then and we were the same two working together, but at a new place in both of our lives. It's kind of a "parallel" thing if you see what I mean?

Omg that what I dream about every night and thats weird cause Iam 27 years old been out of high school a long time.Like I see myself listening to a teacher and forgetting my homework and being late for school and I told my doctor this and he was like wtf or like iam crazy.
