The best is seeing the odd TikTok video of people complaining about their air travel plans getting absolutely hammered, and all the folks in the comments mentioning the insane weather and PLANE CRASH that also happened and just might have played a small role in the chaos.

Re anxiety dreams. I get the similar ones, and they are about different stages of my my University day. Don't know what triggers each particular dream:

• in my dorm room and I can't find my class schedule to even know what class I have and where it is
• on campus at my locker, but can't remember the combination.
• on campus but I can't find the classroom for a class I'm trying to attend
• in the classroom, but can't understand what class it is or what is being taught. Sometimes it's a French class and the teacher is literally speaking a different language.

I think what we're all saying is that University is goddamned Traumatic!

####ing idiots in every town complaining about their snow removal after getting two of the biggest dumps we’ve had in years on back to back days, and a huge dump the week before. Basically haven’t seen snow like this in a decade. Yeah it’s gonna take a bit!

And the anxiety it causes (and relief when I finally wake up) is as potent as it was 20 years ago. I've had much more traumatic #### happen in my life than a missed college assignment, why can't my brain just let this #### go?

35 years since grad and I still get these too periodically. It's usually English class too.

Apparently dreams about being late for exams or not being able to find classrooms are rooted in memories of being under pressure and being judged. They get stirred up when we’re under pressure in our current lives.

Like Locke, I often dream about old jobs from my early 20s. Never about any recent (last 20 years) jobs or workplaces. No idea why that’s the case.

[fotze2]

I totally get those dreams. It’s more from High school for some reason. I switched from Carroll to grandin back then but now I cannot find my schedule or what classes I need to be at. Or I am 3 credits short but I had a university degree. Can they reverse that.

Worst lately is I am in an airport and I am late because I had to clean the VRBO because people left it in a mess and I cannot find the gate or where to go through security. Pretty much nightly that one.

Can’t have the supermodel orgy dream ever no.

I do get the ‘I can jump and float for massive lengths of distance thing, not a high leap but can float forever”

[Titan2]

I get all of the above. Mostly can't find a piece of equipment to play hockey. Mike Babcock usually features in that one...

I have not heard anyone comment on waiting tables dreams. I used to work at the Keg in Edmonton during Uni. My dream is that I had tables in two different sections. One on Whyte Ave and one in West Edmonton. I would be in my little Keg short sleeve shirt and apron running down the Whitemud/Yellowhead trying to get to my other table. I never get there just running and running. Not fun. And in stinkville. Part of the reason I hate that ####hole.

[Ironhorse]

I had a vivid and long dream that I was training for an Apollo moon mission the other night.

[Table 5]

I have dreams where I can never remember my locker combo.

Probably goes back to the years of high school when I could never remember my locker combo.

[missdpuck]

Not exactly a dream, but in college I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking I overslept and missed taking our newspaper proofs to the printer.

Other than that, no uni dreams.

I dream a lot about the job I retired from. Thirty years of pressure, deadlines, bad bosses and being yelled at all the time. Stirred up a lot bad memories and all.

I think it's the opposite. University was the most carefree time of my life. Structured and the rules for success are all laid out for you. Tons of free time to do whatever you wanted.

I think you have these dreams when stresses in your current life are going on and this is how it manifests.

Yeah it was pretty easy for me through the U of C spending way too much time at the cove and den. One of the best times was setting up the inaugural dragon boat race at Glenmore.

The only bad times was listening to Rob Anders in machall and his dbag friends.

[musth]

I get the one on a semi-regular basis where I roam the halls of my high school, or sometimes SAIT, and can't find my locker to get my books before heading to class, and I'm going to be late. I can remember exquisite details of graffiti, art on walls, etc. within the hall of my locker while walking along it, but never end up finding it

[puffnstuff]

I used to think not remembering any of my dreams was a bug, turns out its a feature.

I believe they’d prefer you refer to that simply as having a “different opinion.”
