I'm walking down a large corridor in P Hall. I'm walking really fast because I have a test in a couple of minutes and I can't be late. I go into one of the huge lecture halls and see one of my Sec. Ed. professors administering the exam. I tell her that I am in the next room, after she tells me that I am late. The test in the next room has not started, so I sit down all the way in the back because there is only one seat left. I have to sit squished between these really big guys. I drop my bag on the floor when I sit down, and my pen falls out of my bag. I try to get it but can't reach because I am stuck in my seat. My professor comes in and says that we can start the exam. The booklets are handed out and I look at it. It's an English vocabulary exam. I look down in my bag to try to get my calculator (Yeah, I have no idea why). I raise my hand to ask her if we can use our calculators on the exam, but the dream ends there.

Hehe...I'm just relived to see that I'm not the only one having post-test test dreams. It's funny that you are "squished between these really big guys". It seems like your dream has merged the test site with the subway.

A calculator for an English vocabulary exam -- that visual gave me pause. Maybe you were wishing that English exams had a component of something concrete with which to work out problems. Funny comment from Vitamin C about merging the test site with the subway.

Haha I love reading things like this which include things out of the ordinary - the calculator on an English exam...right away, though, I thought that this type of confusion in the dream was most interesting - maybe you feel swamped in real life, especially with all the finals and papers coming up in the close of the semester...
Also, the thing that really really made me uneasy was the part where you drop your pen and because you're stuck between the two big guys, you can't pick it up to start your exam...I really had a semi-panic attack just picturing it! lol this could also go with what I said about the calculator where there is too much going on lately ... interesting dream though! =)

You know what's funny? For all my dreams about school, lately I haven't had any where I was sweating things out in dreamland. When I was taking Science classes that was more of the case, but for english classes it seems that I don't really care. I didn't sweat the Honors exam at all in my dreams. Luckily it paid off for me, but I can see why test taking anxiety takes its toll on us all in dream land.
