Nightmares

Mine is about not remembering my locker combination!

Yes, decades later, not often but still...variations on 'can't find the class room' and 'the assignment isn't done'.

This popped up in the 'similar threads' today.

I have variants on two recurring nightmares. One is not being able to find a working toilet(!)...The other I call a 'Jaguar dream'; where I'm back in the design office at my old job.

For many years I had two recurring dreams though I didn't think of the as nightmares though they might have been.

When we lived at our other house I was constantly dreaming about locking the doors and windows. I didn't recognise the house though it was generally one of two houses.

Where we live now I was dreaming about losing my purse.  I was always in a large building like a shopping center or a school.

Mine is being in public without any pants.

Funny thing is, it's happened so many times I don't even care anymore (in my dreams!)  ....LOL :-)

As a child, one of my most frequent nightmares was of running along the footpath which was full of elongated oval holes. I never fell down one so I don't know why it seemed so scary.
Other frequent nightmares (although none recently) are of being chased by a wild animal. One I still remember was when I was chased by a panther (not a common animal to be found in Britain). I could hear its footsteps getting closer and even after I reached the house and slammed the door I could still hear it chasing after me. As I gradually woke properly I realised it was my heart beating. In a similar vein, once it was a bear chasing me (again, not many roaming the streets here, as a rule). When I opened my eyes in the relatively dark room, I saw it in the corner. Coming fully awake, it was clothes hanging on the back of the bedroom door.
Even though it's around 10 years since I retired, I still get dreams about work - usually where I've forgotten to complete an essential part of a project. Oh, the relief when I wake up.

Y'all make me glad that I rarely remember my dreams!

I usually remember dreams if I have them, but after age 30 I really stopped dreaming. (Before 30, a lot of the time the nightmares were college-related nightmares, just as the OP noted!)

You can all just shut up. My nightmares are about college violin recitals that I didn’t know I had to practice for 😂😭
