College is a common motif in the dreams of students and high school students. However, people who earned their degrees long ago also dream about it. The meaning of such dreams depends on the environment in which they took place, as well as the details that accompanied them.
Dreaming about enrolling in college
If you dreamed that you enrolled in college, it implies that you are aware that you won’t be able to solve the problem currently bothering you on your own.
You’ll need to rely not only on your own knowledge and experience but also on other people. That’s why it’s important to surround yourself with trustworthy individuals who will give you advice for your own good.
Studying at college in a dream
When you dream that you’re studying at college, it means that you’re currently in a very challenging period. You’ll probably have to invest a lot of energy and time to achieve what you want.
Don’t doubt yourself and the positive outcome of your sacrifice for a better future. It’s important to keep your ultimate goal in mind at all times.
Dream about returning to college
This dream symbolizes your need for progress and improvement. You’re aware that your future could be much better if you started working on yourself much more right now.
Don’t listen to those who don’t believe that great sacrifices pay off, but try to convince them otherwise.
You can get much more than you’re currently getting; it’s just important to be persistent.
Dreaming that you graduated from college
If you dreamed that you graduated from college, it implies that you need to learn not to lecture others.
Even with people you’re very close to, you shouldn’t impose your opinions and beliefs. You should only give advice when someone asks for it.
In any other case, it’s considered “sticking your nose” into something that’s none of your business.
Dreaming that you were expelled from college
If you dreamed that you were expelled from college, it means that you should work on your complexes. Your biggest problem is that you have no self-confidence at all.
If you changed what you consider your flaws and loved your good qualities, everything would start to change for the better. When you love yourself, others will appreciate and love you more.
Teaching at college in a dream
When you dream that you’re teaching at college, it implies that someone might ask you for advice about an extremely delicate problem in the near future.
It’s a situation you’ve never encountered before. You’ll have to think carefully before suggesting anything to him/her. However, the most important thing is to be completely honest.
What does it mean when you dream about taking an exam at college?
Such dreams are a nightmare for everyone who faced very difficult exams during their studies. They tell you that you must continue to work on improving the quality of your life.
You mustn’t give up in front of every obstacle and retreat from every challenge. Remember, only what you’ve given up on yourself is lost.
If you dreamed that you didn’t pass an exam you were taking at college, it implies that fear is your biggest enemy.
If you had the strength to deal with it, your life would take a completely different path. Until then, you’ll continue to “stagnate,” i.e., go around in circles and regret missed opportunities.
You mustn’t allow life to pass you by, but you must take what it has given you at that moment.
Looking for a college in a dream
If you unsuccessfully tried to find a college in your dream, it implies that you don’t have a strong enough will to face a problem or change something.
Namely, you often look for excuses to tackle it. So time passes, and in the near future, you’ll realize that it wasn’t your ally, but your worst enemy.
You can prevent that scenario if you get moving now.
Dreaming about entering a college
If you dreamed that you were entering a college building, it implies that you’re ready for changes. You’re probably afraid of them because you don’t know what your future will be like.
However, you’ve reached a phase from which there’s no turning back, you can only “push” forward. Don’t doubt yourself, because you’re much stronger than you think.
Exiting a college in a dream
A dream in which you’re exiting a college building can have multiple meanings. The first, and much more likely, is that you’ll manage to solve a big problem you’ve been struggling with for years.
The second meaning is that you’ll give up on something you’ve invested a lot of effort and time in so far, and it hasn’t yielded any results. You’ll give up on it and dedicate yourself to more constructive things in your life.
Dreaming that you can’t find the exit from college
Such a dream indicates that you’re confused by the situation you’ve found yourself in. Probably a lot has happened to you in a short period, and you haven’t had time to cope.
It’s important not to make any big decisions in the next few days. Give yourself enough time to think about everything well, and only then take certain steps.
Living at college in a dream
When you dream that you’re living at college, it implies that you’re too burdened by other people’s expectations. Maybe you’re afraid that you’ll disappoint some people, that you’re not up to certain tasks and jobs, and so on.
This creates enormous pressure in your head and is not good for your health at all. For a change, put yourself first!
Dream in which you’re hiding in a college building
If you dreamed that you were hiding from someone in a college building, it means that you made the right decision. You probably faced a situation that required you to do absolutely nothing.
You recognized what it was about in time, and because of that, you got out of trouble and avoided the possibility of finding yourself in a similar position again.
Dreaming that you founded your own college
If you dreamed that you founded your own college, it means that you’re not aware of the magnitude of the problem you persistently “sweep under the rug.” You’ve probably underestimated it and are guided by the motto “we’ll manage easily.”
However, when you start dealing with it, you’ll realize that you’re quite late and will have to ask for help from close people to cope with it.
Building a college in a dream
If you dreamed that you were building a college, it could be a sign that you’ll embark on a private business or decide to expand your current business.
You’ll probably realize that now is the ideal time to take a risk and that it might pay off at some point. Just be brave!
Dreaming that others are building a college
Seeing in a dream that someone is building a college indicates that you can’t hide that you envy someone for something. It’s not excluded that this person is very close to you and that you’re not at all proud of being jealous of him or her, but you think you can’t help yourself.
If you focused on the right things, you could also achieve what you dream about.
Demolishing a college in a dream
Dreaming that you’re demolishing a college means that you’re angry. It’s possible that someone didn’t fulfill a promise they gave you, so you’re disappointed in him or her.
Another possibility is that you’ve been wronged and you just can’t get over it. However, at some point, you’ll have to make peace with your fate and learn a lesson from everything that has happened to you.
Seeing others demolish a college in a dream
When you dream that someone is demolishing a college, it can be a sign that someone in real life has convinced you that your dreams are unattainable, i.e., unrealistic.
You believed him/her, as always. However, things don’t have to look the way they seem to you right now.
Maybe you should just change your approach to the situation and choose something that will bring you success in the long run.
Dreaming about setting a college on fire
Setting a college on fire in a dream indicates that you’re fantasizing about revenge. Someone hurt you in the past or caused you some damage, and you won’t give up until you pay him/her back “tit for tat.” Keep in mind that this won’t bring you the satisfaction you dream about. Look for happiness in something else, not in the negative emotions you persistently poison yourself with.
Watching others demolish a college in a dream
A dream in which you watch someone demolish a college means that you won’t be able to convince a close person of the possible harmful consequences of the decisions they’re making. This time you’ll have to accept that he or she will learn their lesson from their own mistakes, not from yours.
If it turns out that you were right, don’t “rub it in their face,” but offer them support and help to get out of it with as few negative consequences as possible.
Dreaming about writing about college
If you dreamed that you were writing about college or about events at college, it implies that you’ll have to force yourself to step out of your comfort zone in order to make some progress.
You’re currently lulled into a situation that more or less suits you, however, you would achieve much more if you weren’t afraid of change. This will change in the near future.
Reading about college in a dream
When you dream that you’re reading about college, it means that in real life you shouldn’t talk about topics you know absolutely nothing about.
It’s not shameful to say that you don’t know something and then turn to people who do. It’s worse when completely ignorant people talk about some important things. So you shouldn’t be one of them.
The meaning can also be much simpler. If you’re thinking about returning to college, it has left an impression on you. The dream is not interpreted if you’re currently attending a college.
