I just had a variant on this dream last night...
I was patting myself on the back for not having had this dream in a really long time. Turns out I'm not immune, even fifteen years after leaving high school and ten years after leaving university (okay, not quite ten... nine? Ish?)
ladytairngire said in fearsclave's LJ that she believes school dreams to be iconic in the same way that flying and falling dreams are, and that makes a lot of sense to me. I know that I tend to have this school-based dream whenever I'm in the midst of making life changes (see previous post).
I personally find that whenever I dream of being in school or taking a test it reflects my progress in some life lesson. For example, if I dream of my grade school I'm at the beginning of a lesson, middle school = in the midst, high school or college = almost at the end. Confronted with a test you aren't prepared for? Finding yourself in the wrong classroom? These things can easily be metaphors for life events.
So, yes. Pretty much what she said. :)
