I'm 24 btw, so my experience may vary from the many youngcels there.
I need you dream experts to interpret my dreams. So, frequently, I've had dreams of returning to high school, to the point where it's almost everyday. For some basic background information, I had studied in the secondary school (Call it high school for you burgercels) for 4 years, then I dropped out and went to a trade school, before eventually getting a university degree (long story short); I do not dream about these at all.
In my dream, I am on some sort of partial existence. Having to shoulder both current life obligation and studying for high school. In these dreams, I always get somewhat overwhelmed in the dream high school, wanting to drop out (just as I did IRL); But there is a feeling of "Why?"; Perhaps, dropping out would sever my ties to the 'friends' there, perhaps it's something else. It's a persisting sense of regret.
My theories are (non mutually exclusive):
1.High School represents a stable path, one with guaranteed outcome, thus, I feel safety being in it
2.I drove off the "official" path, in sense that I am not supposed to pursue "trade education" (bullshit, but it's more of social aspect)
3.High School was the last place with any sense of normal socializing. Young people are forced together, with balanced gender ratio, and shared interests. People are forced to live with each other for years, developing sense of warmth. A common goal, if you will
4.I need to meet my old friends
5.Despite the fact that I sucked at school back then (the burden thing), life was still better
Overall, I think theory 3 weighs the most. I joined a Saturday "club" like that and friendships were much warmer than 'friendships' of elsewhere.
