I keep going back to school

[heter]

Hi. I'm 15 and I keep having a dream about high school. I am suppose to be in high school but I am not in it right now and don't plan on going back, but I am still getting my diploma. Anyway, every night I have a dream about going back and I always say at the end of the dream something along the lines of "Screw this" And I always go home and the dream ends. What could it mean?

You should try and assess the situation you're in right now, why you're not in school and if you really feel its a wise descision, or your feelings towards leaving school in general.

School in dreams often represents your intellectual or social life. People, objects, events and feelings are all very important as well, but you should consider how they contribute to the school aspect and or vise versa.

School becomes such a familiar place to you its bound to remain in your dreams, I'm 18 (finish school at 16 here) and last night I began writing down notes from dreams I had (in effort to regain motivation) and the first thing I remembered from my first dream was being back in my school and I was with someone I haven't spoken to since I left school.

I tend to dream more in places I know and then later it often seems to evolve into a different place.

But repeated dreams I could never really understand.. I used to have many repeated dreams when I was much younger, each time seeming to last a little longer than the last. The only recently repeated dream I've had is dreaming about my cat dieing (my other 2 pets died quite recently) but the dreams are not so much repeated but have the same result.

Maybe some more information as to why you are not going to school could help people in order to help you? (maybe I don't quite understand because our education over here is a little different and it is illegal to not go to school, parents can be fined.)

I have a bunch too, what's your point? We go to high school every day, it's sometimes a more consistent image than home is, especially when you move a lot.

I'm in the same boat as you, but I'm 18, only dropped this year, and only have about four courses to go. I do plan on going back though, I just need to get a job for about a year to make money and find stability and discipline.

Why do you never plan on going back? There are some courses you can't get through correspondence, you're too young for adult day school, and since you're less than 16 if you ever falter in your studies, they could force you to go back. People can be annoying as hell sometimes, but you have to confront them. Make friends with similar-minded people who just happen to be toughing it out there. That's what I plan to do.

You probably do a lot of other things more than time spent in school, and dont dream often of those (eating, walking, hobbies, etc..). School stands out beceause there is something on your subconscious mind that you aren't aware of.

[sublunary]

School is the everyday western symbol of impermanence.

Everything in life, except school, has the potential to last forever. Vocations, relationships, where you live, habits, none of these things eventually have to change. Not school. School is temporary. When you're in school, though, it feels like forever. You day dream. It enters your subconscious, referenced to a deep wish for impermanence. In the same way, you may feel you don't have enough time to do homework or to study for a test. Maybe you wish you could go back in time and study more, or go into the future to see what will be on the test, or what life will be like when school's out. And, also, there is always the feeling that these days will not last forever.

When you're dreaming about school, you're dreaming of impermanence.

Could have passed the ^%*&%* GED in primary school, and college is easier than highschool. US schools are not meant for the mastery of knowlege or wisdom.

When I gain awareness in school dreams, I realize that the dreamt-of testing is not academic. It is a ploy to see how I respond to different social situations.

Considering that vast systems of learning can be construed in one spark, this illusory, academic realm is not necessary.

Either I have projected into demonic thought systems, my subconscious is interrogating me on when to be used, or the two are the same.  So often, the epiphany comes not in the dream but upon waking.
