Why do I have these dreams

I dreamed that I am in school and about to take an important exam. As soon as my pen touch the paper, I realize that I haven't studied nor can I remember the answers to the questions. The anxiety and tension of the situation seemed so real that I felt I was in high school again.

I have had these dreams on a number of occasions during college. Fortunately, as time passed by, I don't dream of it as much anymore. Even so, I still found it weird that I had such dreams, so I asked a few of my high school classmates about it. I found out that I was not alone. Some of them had similar dreams.

Knowing that there were people with the same experience that I have, I felt a burden was removed from me. I wrote this so that other people who have had such dreams can let go of this burden and move on. I call on you fellow nerds to let go of your scarred high school existence and live in the present.
