The last time I had it was two weeks ago. I graduated from university in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>I always dream I am visiting my hometown, Augusta, Ga., which is where my mom and her family lives. (It is where I lived until I turned 18 years old and left for college.) In the dream, I live in NYC and work, but I end up going to my high school because for some strange reason I need to take another class or still need credits to get my diploma. I\u2019m either in a classroom or I\u2019m in the school office trying to get the counselor to tell me what classes I need to take and how many credits I\u2019m in need of.<\/p>\n<p>The last dream involved me desperately trying to get the course catalog so I could choose the right courses to get my diploma. I am also usually in a rush\u2014because as I mentioned in my dream\u2014I\u2019m on a brief visit home and I have a job to get back to in NYC.<\/p>\n<p>This dream disturbs me. In real life, I have been looking for a new, more fulfilling, career. The sports magazine I worked with for 3 years closed its NYC office this summer. I was sort of glad that I was forced to find a more fulfilling gig. But I haven\u2019t found it yet.<\/p>\n<p>I also often dream of my mother being mean to me. We have a good relationship now. But as a child she was really fussy. We talk about once a month.<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\u2014Cheryl, Age 28, Single, NYC, USA<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>TEST YOUR DREAM IQ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Back to school dreams symbolize&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A.
