Do You Dream At Night? What's It All About?

Curious who here dreams at night, if there's any recurrent dreams you have, and if you think they mean anything.

I seldom dream (actually I should say I seldom wake up remembering having dreamed) but when I do, it seems correlated to overwork/stress.

Alas I almost never have luscious dreams involving curvaceous companions and glamourous lifestyles. Instead, I have a recurrent dream, which is that I'm wondering if I'll get my MBA degree given that I stopped attending half the classes midway through the semester and skipped the finals. I've dreamed this so many times that I'm half-convinced that I did blow off some B-school classes, even though AFAIK I never did. In my last year of college I did take an F in a class that I simply stopped attending.

Another interesting thing: I was a lawyer for 13 years, during which I often had 3 or 4 drop-dead deadlines per day (last day to file a motion, etc). During those years, whenever I dreamed at night, first thing in the morning I would immediately comb through all my files and invariably I would find a deadline that had been miscalendared and that my conscious memory had forgotten about. It worked 100% of the time, I am not kidding. I've wished that in my current profession my dreams would alert me to a stock that was about to blow up but no such luck.

How about you? Any interesting nighttime dreams?
