Dreaming of going to school instead of work - dream meaning with inherited lore
Heading to school when you should be going to work may bring together thoughts of evaluation and learning at work with old tensions.
Even though you think you need to go to work, you head to school in a uniform or carrying a schoolbag. You may panic as you enter a classroom or check the class schedule.
Korean lore: Traditionally, scenes involving school or exams have sometimes been interpreted as reflecting evaluation, learning, and preparation. If going to work changes into going to school, it may symbolize having to learn again or be evaluated at work. (In folk dream interpretation, schools and exams have generally been associated with competition, learning, and assessment.)
Through the mind: You may be feeling tense, as you did in school, because of a recent performance review, new training, or feedback from your manager. Comparisons and pressure to achieve from the past may also be overlapping with your current workplace situation.
