This is much more common than most people realize--and people have been having dreams like this since the beginning of recorded history (there are written records of such dreams from ancient China--rather than school the dreams were related to civil service exams). The going theory is that these types of dreams reflect a time of transition from child/student to adulthood.
Mine is always about an English class that I never attended and never wrote any of the required papers. Must be because I hate writing, and I was always afraid I wouldn't graduate because of some inane liberal arts requirement (I was an engineering student).
I've also had a few dreams that I wanted to use as the basis for a sci fi novel or two...but cf. my comment above about writing.
