Why do I keep dreaming about my high school locker combination?

Question

I keep having a dream about forgetting my locker combination in high school. Does anyone else have this dream? I haven't been in school for a while and several other friends have had this same dream.

Answer 1

well....the bright side to that is that you will never forget it. you are having that dream because apparently you are worried that you will forget the combination. your mind is repeating it like a mantra.  

Answer 2

Myself, if not most humans, also have dreams like that involving school and maybe forgetting or being unable to get supplies. This is especially the case with up-to-par people that ace the majority of their tests and would freak upon getting a failing grade or detention.

I think that maybe these repressed, stressful thoughts of, "What if I can't remember my locker combination?", "What if I left my textbook at home and didn't know it until it was too late?", or similar questions seem to stick to the memory as they would bring stress if they actually occurred. Perhaps a stressful situation has been brought up, or maybe you are just doing so well you are afraid your success will drop.

My dreams are typically of leaving my homework or books at my house and forgetting about them and not be able to have them when they are needed, but it is basically the same concept as far as I can tell.

Hope I helped.

Answer 3

Yes! But my biggest recurring dream is that there's a college math class I have forgotten to go to for the entire semester. I haven't been in college for over 10 years.

Answer 4

well at least its no biggie just write your locker combo somewhere where you can c it.

Answer 5

Maybe it's the guy's or girls that were around you that were dressing and undressing or even showering that your really thinking about.

Answer 6

Maybe you are having memories of high school or something. If you haven't gone yet, then, maybe you're just nervous.

Answer 7

Maybe it's a sign that youre going to forget your combination. LOL i don't know! You should probably stay on the safe side and write it down somewhere just in case!

Answer 8

Nervousness.

Answer 9

I have drempt about it for years, it was my greatest fear, <}:-})

Answer 10

You probably are afraid of facing high school or something in your school. Face your fears and go for the plunge. Your are seeing your fear as forgetting your all important locker combo.

Answer 11

I have a dream very similar, it's always the last day of school and everyone is rushing and I can't find my locker anywhere.  I try dozens thinking they're mine but the combination doesn't work.  Maybe our brain is trying to solve or unlock something that's bothering us or we want so desperately to bring a situation to a conclusion but it proves difficult.  

Answer 12

It could just be from you anticipating going back to school. Usually dreams form out of things that we think about during the day, and then, of course, they get warped and twisted. Nothing to worry about, though, I'm sure you'll remember it just fine! :)

Answer 13

You probably unconsciously worry about forgetting the combination throughout the day and it just comes out in the dream while you're sleeping

Answer 14

maybe you just keep freaking out about it? do you think about your combination before you sleep? that could be the reason why.

Answer 15

ur probably just nervous cuz u haven't went 4 so long

Answer 16

Years ago when I was in High school I had the same dream about the lockers in the school basement and the combinations were mixed up. It was a recurring dream for a long time and I never forgot it, it was weird. and to this day have no idea why, I guess it must have been something going on at that time, which I do not understand to this day I wa In the Band and we had a lot of practice all the time I guess u will never really know.One of those  things I guess.
