EXAMINATION DREAMS
In examination dreams, which Freud
considered to be "typical dreams," the
dreamer sees himself back at school taking
an examination.
Freud mentions this type of dream several
times in The Interpretation of Dreams (1900a).
The dreamer is embarrassed to see himself as
an adult among much younger fellow
students and obliged to retake an
examination that he already passed a long
time ago. "It would seem, then, that anxious
examination dreams (which, as has been
confirmed over and over again, appear when
the dreamer has some responsible activity
ahead of him next day and is afraid there
may be a fiasco)" (1900a, p. 274). The
meaning of the dream would be: "Don't be
afraid of tomorrow! Just think how anxious
you were before your Matriculation, and yet
nothing happened to you"
