I have recurring one in a car park where I'm trying to park but the car goes out of control as if the accelerator is stuck and I smash into other cars and cause lots of damage. I don't know what it means. I know the dream's coming but I'm powerless to wake myself up before slipping it into reverse, checking it's clear, and ........

Also like HTS and Badnewz; but not only do I sometimes dream it, sometimes something happens (smell, sound) and I get a sudden flashback to being outside the exam room for one of my finals papers and just knowing that you didn't know enough. It is so vivid, people have seen it happen and asked me are you ok or say you look like you saw a ghost.....

Is it possible to claim for PTSD over such a triviality and when you are to blame for it?

(1990, Organometallic Reactions, Univ of Durham, FWIW. I knew enough to pass, evidently)

[quote="Harry_the_Spider"]Yep. When I'm under stress I dream about sitting my Finals without having done any revision.

I sat my Finals in 1992.

This, exactly (except it was '95). I had a whole sequence of them, all slightly varying, but all to do with being unprepared for finals. In some of them, I was weighing up quitting Uni to avoid the embarrassment of spectacularly failing the exam.

Me too and my finals were in '91 also Chemistry at Durham

Also used to get one where I'm climbing the outside of a skyscraper - presumably a work analogy

Are you holding Fay Wray as you climbed?

Hah, I get mad panicky uni flashbacks, not about exams but just about day to day- mostly I've lost my timetable and I'm just running around the campus opening doors at random trying to find my course. These aren't helped by me working now at the same uni I studied at, I think!

I do, especially when I take sleepy drugs. Last night dreamt I'd parked my car somewhere and couldn't find it again. Parked where I thought it was was an older model in the same colour. Well weird. Woke me up though 😆
My dreams are always dead freaky (age 53 and a half).
