Exams without Preparation
A classic anxiety dream related to the fear of incompetence.
Dream interpretation
This extremely popular dream reveals your inner critic. Even if you are successful, you worry about being 'exposed' as unprepared. It usually appears before new beginnings or professional trials. The dream reminds you that you are prone to perfectionism and setting too many high demands on yourself. The exam is not about knowledge, but about your self-esteem. If you manage to stay calm in the dream, you will be able to handle the situation in reality.
