Exam
Symbol: Exam
Meaning: The dream about an exam represents feelings of pressure, evaluation, and self-assessment in waking life. This symbol often reflects concerns about performance, competence, and judgment from both external and internal sources. It suggests the dreamer may be facing challenges or situations in their life where they feel they are being tested or judged.
Exam dreams can also indicate a fear of failure, the need for validation, or a desire for recognition in various aspects of life. They may symbolize the dreamer's pursuit of personal growth, advancement, or a desire to prove oneself. Additionally, these dreams can serve as a reminder to study, prepare, or invest effort into upcoming important tasks or decisions.
Positively, dreams about exams may reflect the dreamer's readiness to face challenges, a sense of accomplishment, or confidence in their abilities. Frequently, these dreams occur during times of transition or significant milestones, such as job interviews, promotions, educational pursuits, or other significant life events.
These dreams may also indicate feelings of overwhelm, insecurity, or a lack of control. The dreamer may be experiencing anxiety about being tested or evaluated in their waking life, whether it be in relationships, career, school, or personal endeavors. Exam dreams could be a signal to address these anxieties and work on boosting self-confidence and resilience.
Overall, the interpretation of an exam dream heavily relies on the dreamer's personal experiences, emotions, and the context of their waking life. It is essential to consider the dreamer's feelings during the dream, their current circumstances, and any underlying stress related to the examination.
Alternative interpretations: Test, Evaluation, Performance, Assessment, Nervousness, Validation, Fear of Failure.

Race of the Unpredictable: Conquering Insane Obstacles in a Mega Flower Carnival
![Super competitive huge race with insane obstacles and challenges
Mega flower thing (carnelias) with slides and crap
Eventually running around in s sprawling mrt station/school that goes deeper and deeper, escalators to complete an exam for the challenge
Running between students who are also running, obstacles are often food related because we've been away from our families for a long time, I'm doing stuff like cutting between people, taking secret paths to get ahead
Some obstacles are kinda pop quizzes --> neck and neck with someone
--> final thing are like diaporamas where you have to shoot the correct area of the person (Japan thing) and I'm at the places with another competitor; final obstacle they are the diaporama, they're an ancient Japanese prostitute (for some reason we're both bloody) and I shoot the thyroid for disease as the answer, they think it's wrong and the correct answer was the lips for black teeth
Competition over we have pop-up screens (like in orv) that shows all of our answers, there were some where I messed up the flowers because
The image I had downloaded wasn't the correct flower, another one where I kept misspelling the word (something like dorios)
Don't know who won between me and my rival](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/efa0d0d0-789c-4fa0-8f33-526003f88da7.png)

Lost in the Shadows: A Journey to the English Exam
![I didn't do well in a maths exam,. So the school said I could sit an English exam, to which I was more suited.
But they didn't explain where the exam was to be held, merely that it was a building in the far distance with an illuminated sign on it.
The following day I was worried about being late for the exam because I might not be able to find the building But I managed to find the building, which had a huge atrium.
But there was no enquiry desk that would help me find the exam room.
Eventually I found a member of staff who told me where the exam would be. Then a member of staff said that there had been some disagreement amongst school staff as to whether the exam questions were the right ones.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/c929a9fb-7815-4a03-8642-e17625988582.png)

Cheating, Confusion, and Birthday Blues: A Dream Exam in a Stranger's Home
![i had dream i had to go sit a mock exam at school during the break. in the exam room i sat next to my friend in a seat in which i could easily cheat since i had not studied for this test, but after i turned around for a second she appeared in front of the class, sitting at the teacher’s desk and waiting to take the exam as if she was never seated next to me. in her old seat, next to me, was another classmate, a nerd, but on my other side sat the exam supervisor who wanted to catch cheaters from a seat closer to the students. when the exam started, the literature questions turned into math problems and i had no issue solving them since i am better at math than literature, which was the exam i came in to take. after solving 2/3 of the problems, a school bell rang, signaling the start of a break, which is impossible during and exam, but i got up like everybody else and left the classroom. once outside, i realized we were in somebody’s home, more exactly a fellow classmate named A. i started exploring the rooms when i noticed another classmate was following me, let’s name her D. this classmate and i were close for a long time until she developed a nasty personality and we fell off. i decided to look at my phone which made me notice the date — it was my birthday and i got sad since nobody had told me “happy birthday” and i had to sit this exam on a day supposed to be happy. immediately after that thought, i got two messages from two of my classmates who i am not close with but who were congratulating me for my birthday. i continued exploring the rooms until i reached a bedroom full of books out of which i picked one, “Ulysses”, and started shuffling through the pages. D was still behind me so i took the book and got back to the exam room where everybody besides the supervisor, the nerd, D, and me left. the nerd was still taking the exam and i started panicking as i had not finished my set of problems, but as i reached my desk i saw that the math problems turned back into literature questions and i had no idea as to how i could answer. D started talking to the supervisor and making sly remarks towards me about how people shouldn’t steal other people’s books and they need to ask before borrowing one, making a reference to the book i got earlier from the bedroom which was A’s boyfriend’s. i got mad and decided not to finish the exam since it was a waste of time, so i handed in the paper and got home where i started reading the “stolen” book, Ulysses. at home i realized i had not spoken a word all day long and i had felt as if my throat was full of slime and i could choke on it had i opened my mouth.](https://flask-aws-demo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/uploads/5f1fd394-2dd4-4373-b1a3-7d4f03454a16.png)
