When I was at school, I used to get anxiety dreams in which I found myself sitting tests for which I hadn't prepared. Usually, I'd also be naked.
When I was a student, I used to get anxiety dreams in which I turned up to exams only to find that I'd forgotten that they were open book and that I was naked (this actually happened to me in real life - the former and not the latter, I should add).
Now that I'm a lecturer, I get anxiety dreams in which the students turn up to the exam, only to find that I've forgotten to set the paper. Still naked, though.

Date: 2011-07-21 09:00 am (UTC)A couple of weeks before my MSc exams, I had a dream where I'd overslept and missed most of an exam. In my dream, I leapt out of bed, threw on some clothes, ran across campus to the exam hall (the
ParanoiaPanorama Room in the Rootes Building, in fact) and burst in through the door just as the invigilator (who subsequently became my PhD supervisor) said "OK, everyone stop writing now, please." I yelled "Noooo!" in slow-motion, and he turned to me, grinned, and said "Oh, I wouldn't worry about it - nobody else could answer any of the questions either." At which point I woke up, in something of a panic.no subject
