As a matter of real survival skills (and staying completely away from dream interpretation) if you are lost, go downhill. There will be a road or stream down there, and follow IT downhill until you get to a town. If the silly kids in The Blair Witch Project had known that, they wouldn’t have died horribly.

I think your subconscious is telling you not to rely solely on your GPS, but bring a map and compass too, when traveling in the backcountry.

I also have a dream that I’ve missed every class and am wondering if it’s worth my time to go to the exam, or write a paper.

not to be contentious, but…
When Dante employs the first person plural, as opposed to using the first person singular throughout the rest of the poem, I take it to mean he’s quoting, likely from the Bible.
Although Psalm 90:10 puts the days of our years at threescore and ten, I prefer to use Genesis 6:3 in which the LORD said, “…yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”

Everyone I’ve ever known who had the student anxiety dream was a good student. I’ve never had it. The obvious inference is correct.

Frog:

Sounds like your dreams are fun.

I used to remember my dreams nearly every night when I was younger. Now it’s rare for me to remember a dream, although it happens.

Neo’s dream was about failure and futility. I think that is a common thread in dreams of many people.

When I was young I had two repeated dreams, always the same:
1) I was able to fly, flew into a bad guy’s yard to do some revenge, then lost my fly-ability when he came out to get me.
2) Atop a tall building swaying in the wind in a black night, made of only wood. I had to climb down about 100 flights of stairs, but after only descending two, broke thru a step and plunged downward, no stairs below! I always woke up then, on the floor, having fallen a foot.
But the themes are of fear, failure and futility.

Now, as a geezer, I dream actively every night, always free of hazard and fear; I dream about others, seldom about myself. Narrative dreams, some very nice, even coherent plots! Often derived from stuff I read in bed before Lights Out. Busiest dream time is in the 2-3 hrs before arising. I know this thanks to the prostate alarm.

I’m not responsible for the things I do in your dreams.

Dreams are an enigma, no one really knows what they mean so they can mean whatever it is that gives you comfort, motivation, or whatever.

FWIW, I hardly ever remember my dreams and only sometimes do I know that I did dream.

Gary D.G.:

I thought of that, too.

Except it’s not the middle of my life 🙂 .
