I know that one! I have been having the same dream in three versions since 1980!
It's the day of final exams, but I've never been to a single history class, and I haven't read word one of the textbook. I am late because I can't remember my locker combination. I am going to take the test anyway. (In longer versions, I wind up with a B for the course.)
Or: I'm in college, but we still have lockers. My coat and all my books are inside, but I can't remember the combination, so I have to go to the principal's office to get it. Once I get my stuff, I can't find the room I'm supposed to be in. I don't have my sheet with the room numbers and classes. I don't know if I'm supposed to be in English this period or Math, and there's no way for anyone to help me. I never go to one of the classes because I never know I'm supposed to be in it!
Or: Once I get in my locker, I can't get out of the building. The building has so many floors and only steps to get to them; it's a maze. One room in the school has really low ceilings, so you have to crawl through it to get to the gymnasium. Once I'm there, though, it becomes a loading dock, and I try to get out of school that way, but there's a huge fence. Once I climb it, I'm in a multi-story, pitch black parking garage. I have no idea where my car is.
Don't we all have this anxiety dream?
