Years ago, we had a thread on self-reported bad dreams among Dopers, and I did a rough [tally](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-most-common-bad-dream-on-the-dope/390585/109) to see which were the most common. “Unprepared for exam”, “back to school”, and “Late/can’t get somewhere” were all in the top 10. “Unprepared for exam” was in the #1 slot, beating out “teeth falling out” (#2) and “naked/inappropriately dressed” (#3) by a fairly large margin.
