I am in my 40s, but have developed a weird and disturbing nightmare, where I have failed to complete and hand in my History A level. Over 20 years ago.
Reoccurring nightmares regarding missing A level History A level coursework

That’s strange because in my nightmare it’s a Geography A level that you fail to hand in.
Are you sure it was history or maybe you’ve fucked up two?
HTH.

Now and again I dream I am back at school. But at the age I am now. That's I think more disturbing than thinking you forgot to hand something in 20 years ago. I left school more than 30 years ago.
I get a dream maybe once twice a year about failing to hand in my dissertation. Over 20 years ago. When I wake up it takes me a minute or 2 to realise A, I did hand in my dissertation and B it was 20 odd fucking years ago. those minutes are horrible feelings of self admonishment and disappointment, followed by relief. I kind of know what is about.

I never dream of school any more. I just dream of raves, wars, holidays and grim dystopian scenarios.
And no I didn’t go to boarding school.

Many thanks for all the helpful replies. It is reassuring that others experience similar dreams.

We need more information. Was this coursework that you hadn't done or were you sat in the examination room refusing to hand in your incomplete paper?
We've all done the former, but if it's the actual exam, it shows mutinous tendencies. Please contact your local party official for re-education

My recurring dream of recent years, since I left my job, is that I carried on working and they owe me A FORTUNE, as I was working and not getting paid. I spend my dreams chasing my manager to try and get paid and can never find him. It's so annoying.
But this week I actually & finally got a cheque for a tidy sum! Will be interested to see what happens in the next installment.

Yes. Same. The jarring realisation that I haven’t done any coursework for a particular module, or attended any of the lectures, is always tempered by bafflement and annoyance that I am doing a degree in the first place, because surely I already have one and I am really too old for all this stuff. It’s still a reasonably frequent dream, though.

I barely have any school or uni dreams. This is a good thing as both traumatic experiences for me, but that I've worked through.
Current anxiety dreams are that I'm due into work for 7am and I'm really late and the first patients are waiting a really long time to be admitted for surgery, delaying the whole theatre list!
Or
I'm at work as a patient, waiting for surgery, but then remember I've eaten some chocolate, delaying having a general anaesthetic for 6 hours. Being told I can have a spinal anaesthetic and sedation instead and not being happy about it and running around and crying in my hospital gown.

coursework (as in something that counted towards the exams rather than stuff you did because the teachers wanted it) wasn't a thing when i was at school, i GTFO'd before doing most of my exams, and have never been in full time education since, so don't think i've ever had this.
i very rarely have dreams (or at least not ones i can remember) and can't remember any on this sort of theme.

Yes I have the same dream, though only started relatively recently. There's a module for a degree that I've had months and months to do an essay or project, now the deadline is looming and I really don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing. And I haven't attended the lectures for it. I cant even find the right room. And this fail will mean all the work I've done for the other units will be pointless.
Probably the only lasting impact of my masters course tbh.

I'm always having dreams about missing doing coursework or failing to have attended any classes.

I don't think I ever have school/uni/A-level dreams that I can remember, and come to think of it I definitely did History A-levels but have no idea what I did for my coursework in them, presumably I must've done some. If anyone else has an A-level history dream and spots me in it, can you ask me what I'm doing my coursework on?
