I keep having this dream that continues on about me being back in high school. I am 45... completed a 4yr college degree... wtf???

I can't remember my locker combo... end up in the wrong classrooms... go back to the main office to get my schedule but I can't read it and I feel very confused throughout the dream. Its not a violent nightmare by the least of imagination, but it is very uncomfortable and makes me feel very small and stupid.

I keep asking myself what is it that i need to do to stop the dream... like, is there something I need to do to accept in my life my failures, my isolation i had during those high school years (cause I was the life of the party in college), or is there something in my life i need to do for myself that will end these recurring dreams.

Clueless...

This is a postive dream about moving forward beyond High School feelings. This why you get confused, end up in wrong classes and so on. You mind knows you are no longer in high school, on the emotional level, and maturity level. You know you do not belong in High School any more. You already know you are not a failure, and your high school insecurities are no longer a part of you life.

I have dreams that I am back in High School all the time, not always nightmares though.
