When I was younger I had a dream where my mom set me on a kitchen counter and I would fall off into a never-ending abyss. When I started to fall it made my stomach jump into my throat during the dream, but after I had it so many times I was actually able to realize it was just a dream and the nightmare became just a dream of me floating around.

I never had dreams of missing finals in college, but for whatever reason after I graduated I keep having recurring dreams of missing the final, graduation, finishing all my classes and realizing I had one class left to graduate (don't know if these type count as they're all similar, but a little different.)
