A place of learning and evaluation—often with a feeling of returning to childhood or adolescence, even in an adult's dream.
School in a dream—by superstition, means lessons that have yet to be learned. School symbolizes the process of internalizing new rules, norms, and knowledge under the observation of an authority. Returning to school in an adult's dream often reflects a current situation of learning something new—accompanied by a feeling of vulnerability before evaluation.
