another "test" dream

[Karlla]

I am standing atop a pretty steep slope with something like a sled in one hand and test papers in the other. I am pondering what to do. I have to take a test. It's my third attempt at this test and if I fail this time, I fail for good. The exams consist of several parts/subjects, but I have flunked this particular subject twice already, and there's no way I can pass it this time. So I'm pondering not showing up at all. 1the test has a practical part where I need to shoot a bow, and then, I have to do some calculations based off of my result. But I'm so bad at shooting that the calculations don't work.
Eventually, I slide down the slope. I don't want to fail the test with 0 points so I go somewhere (it's not even a test venue/ class room, it looks more like a cafeteria or the like) to at least write something down. Apparently I not only have my current test papers in hand, but also the papers of the last test I took. Some teachers notice and call me out for cheating. I don't know why I have that old paper with me, but cheating is certainly not on my mind.
The teachers are not unkind, they're more concerned. I think I'm able to write a few lines, but I wake up before I know how it went for me.

I remember a National radio DJ talking about having exam dreams which he found baffling because he had not been to school or college for many years. But tests in dreams often link to recent situations where we feel tested. A DJ is tested on a daily basis as he pushes himself to the very limits in a very competitive job. Dreams overwhelmingly capture recent thoughts so your dream probably just captures a thought such as "yesterday was a trying time. I had to push myself to the very limits". You may even have forgotten the situation which triggered your dream as many dreams capture feelings right now.
