Taking a test for school, college or career advancement is a very stressful experience for a lot of people, and when it happens in a dream, the effect is much the same. In these dreams you may find yourself facing some kind of very important test and realize that you haven’t studied or are unprepared in some other way like being without something to write with. Test dreams can reflect a lack of confidence or self esteem in real life or feelings that you are being scrutinized and judged by others. Much of the time it’s one of those dreams you wake from and feel quite relieved and happy when you come to the realization that it was only a dream.
