When you finally drift off to sleep, snug as a bug in your dorm, sometimes the dreams aren't always too pleasant. And the worst part is, they're too close to reality to be funny.
They might seem like "good dreams" and then waking up from them is the actual horror. Or, you could just find yourself sweating through the sheets you haven't washed in a month. Sorry, mom!
1. You've failed a class.
Pretty basic, but still scary.
2. You've failed out of school.
The absolute horror! Nothing like thinking you have to move back home and work a day job while your parents silently radiate disappointment, to wake up from as you rush off to an 8 a.m.
3. Your crush likes you back.
This is bad because you wake up and he/she is still completely indifferent toward you. Sometimes, dreams are extra cruel. I've had dreams where in my dream, I think to myself, "Thank goodness this isn't a dream!" And then I wake up. Ouch.
4. Your parents show up, disappointed.
Usually the setting is a college party. Sometimes, they're dancing with you....sometimes they're dragging you back to your room by your ear.
5. You finished your essay.
Again, this is bad because you wake up and still have to write it.
6. Registration came and went, and you missed it.
You wake up shaking. Why? You didn't get into the classes you needed to register for. And then you check your phone. Registration is two weeks away, and you're a ball of stress.
7. The classic naked in public.
Somehow much worse when you're standing in the middle of a 500 student lecture hall.
8. You're running late to a class and can't hurry up.
In this dream, the clock keeps moving faster, but your legs can't seem to pick up the pace. You can't be late to Linear Algebra again!
9. Something from high school comes back to haunt you.
Failing an AP test, running into a teacher or an old crush, or maybe a prom nightmare. Anything is possible.
10. You've run out of meal swipes.
Did you go to bed hungry?
11. You get offered an internship for the summer.
You wake up to an empty inbox and no summer plans.
12. You're graduating but have no future prospects.
Thank goodness it's only a nightmare! Right?
