And in my nightmares I end up at school, and I graduated 30 years ago.
I don't think I've ever gotten naked in public dreams, but I do still get stress dreams about missing an exam or having to make an assignment deadline despite not having been in school for like 20 years.
I have them where I've forgotten my locker combination or don't have my class schedule. The thing is I actually do remember my last locker combination because I use it as a pin for something so I'm not even sure what my subconscious is on about with that one.
As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma. Not even just bullying, a lot of the expectations schools put on kids are just developmentally unreasonable. It’s not random that so many people have school related nightmares decades after they’ve graduated.
I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.
Not just public schools. I went to private school and still woke up with high school nightmares for years as a college graduate.
I think the expectations are a part of it, but I also think it's the fact that it's an extremely stressful time period between expectations for one's future, high hormones, major social changes that happen as everyone's brain cooks at a different speed, and the constant fighting for increased independence.
Like, don't get me wrong I also didn't enjoy being in class, and I've had full on flashbacks to fights with my father over my grades in high school (also have a ptsd diagnosis), but imo the educational elements of high school weren't meaningfully worse than earlier years or college/adulthood. It was being a teenager that was particularly traumatic, and high school was just the location where most of the issues converged
if you show up naked to a school at almost 40 i think bad things will happen
Yes, everyone else will develop acute glaucoma for some reason.
nothing cute about glaucoma, buddy
Fair enough,I was trying to make a joke about the state of my 50+ saggy bod
I had the wildest dream where my entire class had to repeat senior year because Covid somehow invalidated our credits. Even though I graduated in 2019...
