Hi... I too have similar dreams .... In mine , I leave work to have a baby , then realise 20 odd years later I should have gone back after a year, so I feel bad, and just "turn up" after 20 years as though nothing has happened. And it's just as though nothing has happened...like time has stood still... Everyone looks the same, no-one has aged... And I am welcomed back with open arms, even though I don't want to be there!!! ... Another common one is that I'm back at school doing my exams... But I never turn up. So the next year I go back , determined to focus and concentrate and do well , only to the same ...never show up !!!!... I don't know why I keep having them....maybe regrets with the education, that I didn't do as well as I could...and with work, a desire to do better, but in an environment that I Want to be in, and enjoy. .... I think for me, these dreams are a reflection of where we "want" to be.... And where we "don't" want to be....
