Of course students are not the only ones who dream about failing tests, and for non students, symbolic interpretations of such dreams are often needed. Failing a test in a dream can be a nighttime manifestation of a number of fears, such as fears of doing badly at work, fears of failing to live up to the expectations of family members, or fears of falling behind in life. Dreams of failing a fest can also represent general feelings of inadequacy, low self esteem or a lack of confidence.

The situations encountered in dreams of failing an exam can range from the very realistic, in which the dreamer can literally feel the hardness of the desk and chair and feel the pencil in his or her hand, to the very unrealistic. In such unrealistic dreams, the exam may take place in a strange place, such as an open field or even an airplane hangar. In some dream scenarios, the test questions appear to be written in an unfamiliar language. This can mean that the dreamer feels unprepared for the exam, or that he or she does not feel a mastery of the subject begin studied.

Other exam dream scenarios include not being allowed enough time for the test, or the pencil continually breaking. These scenarios can also indicate an uneasiness about being unprepared for the test, or in the case of a non student, being unprepared for work or for life in general.

Sometimes dreams about taking and failing exams are so real that the dreamer actually remembers some of the questions on the exams, but these types of dreams are relatively rare. In most cases, dreams about taking and failing exams are manifestations of anxieties, fears and issues with confidence and self esteem. They can either represent concrete fears of actual failure on an exam, or more symbolic fears of failure in other aspects of life.

Dreams of taking and failing exams and tests sometimes also indicate that the dreamer feels he or she is being judged. These dreams can be a signal for the dreamer to examine his or her life, especially areas that have been neglected, and pay closer attention to them. In many cases, it will be obvious which parts of the dreamer’s life need attention. In other cases, it will require some closer examination. Such dreams often stem from a fear of letting other people down, and not from any actual inadequacy.

People who constantly dream about taking and failing test are often high achievers who set very high, sometimes impossible to reach, goals. It may be necessary for such people to reexamine their lives and their goals and set more appropriate and more reachable measures of success.

Dreams About Cheating

Dreams about cheating, either being cheated on or cheating yourself, are some of the most commonly reported, and most troubling, dreams there are. Many people take these dreams as prophecies, and accuse their spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend of cheating in real life. While these kinds of dreams are sometimes valid, most times they are not.

When a dream of a cheating spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend turns out to be accurate, it does not necessarily mean you are psychic. Rather, it probably means that your unconscious mind picked up on some subtle signals that your conscious mind either overlooked or blocked out. For instance, things like a sudden change in wardrobe, new cologne or sudden interest in fitness can often signal a cheating spouse. It is possible that your unconscious took note of all these signals during the day, and then used your dream state to send a message.

In most cases, however, a dream about a cheating boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse is not about the spouse at all. Rather, the dream is most likely caused by insecurity, anxiety or guilt on the part of the dreamer. For instance, dreaming about catching your boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse with another partner probably indicates a deep seated anxiety on your part, either worry about your appearance, doubts about your attractiveness, or just generalized anxiety about the future.

Likewise, dreaming that you are cheating on your spouse or significant other can result from guilt you feel about other issues. In some cases these feelings of guilt are not even related to your relationship. Rather, the guilt could be the result of anything from cutting corners at work to cheating on a test to being less than honest with family members. Thus the cheating is only a symbol of guilt you already feel, not a prediction that you will be stepping out on your husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend.

Dreams about a boyfriend or girlfriend cheating on you tend to be fear based dreams. These dreams do not necessarily represent fear of being cheated on, although those fears can come out in dreams. Instead, the fear could be anything, from fear of failure on a project at work to fear of failing a test at school.

The fear expressed through a boyfriend/girlfriend cheating dream could also be the manifestation of a deep seated childhood fear of abandonment. Children of divorced parents, or children whose parent or parents have died, often express their fear of abandonment through bad dreams, and these dreams can morph into dreams where they are abandoned by a partner or a spouse.

Even though the issues expressed through dreams of cheating and being cheated on are not rooted in the relationship, it is always a good idea to work through the issues that caused the dreams. That is because the issues associated with these kinds of dreams, issues like trust and fear, are important things to work through. Issues with trust, and fear of abandonment can be very damaging to even the strongest relationship.

So whether you are the cheater or the cheater in your dream, it is important to examine the situations you encounter in your dreams. The situations, places and people encountered while in a dream state often represent real people, places and objects, and learning the connections can allow you to correct the situations that are leading to such feelings of insecurity and anxiety.
