The purpose of dreams, as far as we understand them, is to process the vast amount of information that comes in through your senses each day whilst you're awake.

On this basis the "meaning" of your dreams is simply that you are making sense of information which previously didn't have a "meaning", for you, because it hadn't been processed so as to fit into your mental maps of the world (all your existing beliefs, ideas, values, etc.).

Given what seems to be going on, it's not really surprising that lots of things appear in your dreams that have nothing to do with what has been happening in your life just before the dream occurs. Things can appear in your dreams that have been part of your memories as far back as you started forming memories - or anytime in between then and now.

Nor do the things in your dreams have to be obviously related to each other. Like I said, dreaming is a process of finding/making meaning, and the brain can draw from anywhere in its huge store of memories in order to carry out that process.

So when, if ever, you happen to notice yourself having what seems like a weird dream in future you can literally rest assured that everything is OK. Your brain is actually doing, with great skill, one of the jobs it was designed to do

It sounds like you may have some unresolved issues from high school. Try to think about what happened that you feel was never resolved. Work through it while you are awake. It might also be a simpler time in your life that you miss now. If you are under a lot of stress at work or in your life you may be dreaming of a simpler time to ease your stress.

Depends on the dream.

You think that you could have done much better in school which you I feel didn't do it.

To prove it you are dreaming.

Dreams mean nothing. Go back to sleep.
