The worst night was the one after putting into motion the Moriarty refic plan, when I couldn't be sure anyone else would even wake up early enough to do what I'd worked out the night before. I repeatedly dreamed that Mark forgot something or Raikes forgot something else or it was 9pm when I woke up and nothing had been done at all. I slept a little better after Dana woke up and took care of everything.
One of my recurring dreams is that someone discovers I didn't finish high school, and have one more class I have to go back and do, despite being in my 20's. This isn't so different from that.

I've had it, and I believe it's fairly common. The British system is different; as far as I understand it high school ends a year earlier, and then there's a year studying for university entrance exams or something like that. Maybe high school graduation is less stressful because it's not the last word in university admissions?
(Typically American students receive university acceptances before high school graduation, but sometimes those acceptances are conditional upon graduating with a certain GPA.)

Something similar. Commonly people finish high school (or comprehensive) at sixteen and then spend up to two years studying select subjects called A-Levels, or, if they'd rather go straight into work they take modern apprenticeships of other career centric paths. Usually unviersity acceptance is based in A levels, not on their high school performance, Sooo essentially we get a couple of extra years to try.

I can vouch for that. You wouldn't believe the number of seniors there were in my freshman algebra class.

Don't beat yourself up over forgetting. Sometimes ideas that seem great in dreams turn out to make no sense.
For instance, I was convinced in a dream that I'd developed a terrific product idea. It was sure to make me a millionaire. The idea? A Tarot deck made of drawings of superheroes wearing business suits, printed on napkins. (The Magician would have been Batman.)

...Waut that ISN'T a great idea? I would totally buy a tarot deck of superheroes printed on napkins.
