I used to have this dream but it only started after I was out of law school. Mine was the version where I completely forgot I'd even registered for the class until the night before the exam and it was required for graduation. (Before then I had the "in class and discover I'm in my underwear" dream.) I'd be so upset by the dream, that I'd have to remind myself that I graduated from college, graduated from law school, passed the bar and was working.
Maybe the dream was so real for me because it nearly happened in college. There was a bogus class required for my major. I decided to save money by taking it by correspondence course. Unfortunately the course materials sat around all year until halfway through the last semester and I was never going to finish it. I panicked and went to the prof who taught the course that semester. Fortunately the class had two components and the prof also felt it was bogus (a state requirement) so she let me into the course for the second part and gave me a paper to write for the first part.
I hate all you people who could skip class and ace exams.
