School / Classroom in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology

Life as the classroom. Distinct from the anxious back-in-school dream, this is school as an image of being taught: something in your life is instructing you, testing you, developing you. Worth asking what the current curriculum is.

THE CORE MEANING

The learning environment: where the psyche is being educated, tested, and developed. Different from the 'back in school' SCENARIO (which is about regression); this is the school as a symbol of the developmental process itself.

VARIATIONS: CONTEXT CHANGES THE MEANING

classroom: Active learning: the psyche is receiving instruction. What is the lesson? Who is teaching?
empty school: The learning structure exists but is unused: potential for growth not being activated
school playground: The social laboratory: where Persona was first constructed, where belonging was first negotiated
library: The accumulated wisdom available to the psyche: the collective unconscious in its organized, accessible form

All of that is the universal meaning. But what does school / classroom mean to you? Your personal association matters more than any dictionary.
