We’re all familiar with the usual nightmares of standing in front of an audience unprepared, or finding yourself at an exam you haven’t studied for. But someone on a discussion thread mentioned one that I did not know was common to anyone else:
You find out that, contrary to your calculations, you do not have enough credits to graduate.
Of course, if you have any random thoughts you’d like to add. . .
I used to have dreams about being back in high school, decades after I graduated. The weird part was I knew I didn’t have to be there but was stressing about missing classes, tests, not doing homework etc.
I have had the too few credits dream.
Why was Jimmy Olson from the original Superman TV show constantly get mistaken for other people? Mostly princes.
Criminals couldn’t tell him apart from:
Princes (above)
Mobsters
Jewel thieves
Jewel appraisers
Scientists
Probably more but the point is, just how far am I supposed to suspend my disbelief in a 1950s Superman TV show?!?!?
Don’t even get me started on the lack of super villains on the show.
No pants, going somewhere
No pants in school
Falling (and waking up)
Falling (then floating to land)
Floating up, flying around room (waking up thinking you actually can!)
Being stabbed with a knife
Nuclear explosion, vaporized
Meeting Barack Obama (oh, god it was bad!)
Yeah, I have the “No pants on” dream all the time. In the dream I’m aware people are looking but I am not ashamed. Wonder what that means?
You’re awake.
I once dreamed I was the Silver Surfer traveling at the speed of light and when I turned on the headlights nothing happened.
Forgot one: Saw the Devil. NASTY!
Well, the Devil went down to Georgia once according to Charlie.
And he may still be there! Especially around Atlanta.
For some reason, thinking I just saw Maxine Waters peeking out from behind the laundry hamper. Then waking up. In a cold sweat ….
(shudder) 😵
Now, THIS is a bad dream…

…although I can imagine it for certain ‘parties.’
Hahahaha..pretty sure that nailed head is the same as the one I bought in Spencer’s Gifts once.
I’m at work, just me and one other guy in the office. He is watching something on his computer, I can’t see, only hear. One guy speaks in old english. Most of the characters speak in modern english. Somebody said something about leaving and returning with many children and we will all feast tonight. Then it sounds like sword fighting scenes but with Guns ‘n Roses songs playing. WTF?
Sounds like someone slipped y’all some edibles…
Wait, are you telling about a dream or a real occurrence?
Real occurrence. I think he had some movie or show playing while he worked, but I couldn’t tell what it was.
I got that letter from Penn State Administration after late-add closed the last semester of my senior year in 1986. I responded with a carefully stored letter from my Department Head approving an alternate class schedule.
I graduated on time.
