Dream Meaning of Taking an Exam or Test

Generally speaking, the dream about taking an exam or test is echoes of inner anxiety caused by examinations during your school days. Such a dream suggests that, you are under the stress in work or life, which is similar with the "exam" in the past. In fact, it often appears the day before you show others your strengths or accomplishments in face of risks, or something you have to bear the consequences, such as job interview, evaluation, report, important business, blind date or dating. The stress, therefore, subconsciously arouses the similar experience in the past and reappears in your dream. Dreaming about taking an exam without a pen or admission ticket even intensely shows the anxiety.
