For years I had recurring dreams where I was lost wandering an endlessly large building - usually office buildings with hundreds of hallways and stairwells that led to more endless hallways. Haven't had them as often the last few years but they always left me feeling down the next day.

I have a very similar dream to yours, where I don't even realize I'm enrolled in a class until a week before it ends. The main difference for me is that it isn't an exam that I have to get through. Instead there's some kind of year-end assignment that is due, which requires me to know everything that has happened in class all year.
Another, scarier one that I have is going into the basement and once down there, the stairs to get back up are gone. So I'm panicking trying to find a way out (and sometimes chased by a monster).
I'm running from the foot soldiers from Power Rangers and leaping from rooftop to rooftop. I never remember any of the details but I've been having that one for 30 years.
I've dreamed multiple times about being back in highschool, being late for classes or not studying for exams. It's almost like it traumatized me lol
This is a very very common dream. It is also very common to have it many decades after you've left school. Sorry mate.

Teeth. Hasn't happened for a while but there was a time when they were always growing or falling out.
I hear it's pretty common.
I used to dream about my teeth falling out pretty often, and then those dreams stopped. I think its because as I've gotten older, the idea of losing my teeth doesn't freak me out anymore. My subconscious has removed that nightmare from the regular rotation since its no longer effective.
I'm nearly fifty, thirty years since I last did a school exam, and I still have recurring dreams about them. Weird, because I didn't have any stress or anxiety at the time... at least not conscious stress.
My dream takes the same basic form as yours. I am approaching a time when I know there should be an exam, but I haven't been to the class at all for the year. Mostly the dream consists of me hoping no-one will mention the exam and I can just kind of pass it by default. It makes no sense.
Other recurring dreams:
- I stumble on a previously unknown room in my house
- My Grandad, who has been dead over 20 years, is suddenly alive again. Everyone knows he should be dead, no-one really mentions why he's alive again, and there's a weird feeling that he's hanging around on borrowed time.
An extra room in the house? Sounds like a dream to me, haha. What kind of stuff do you find in those?
cries in nowhere to store things
Suddenly realising I'm naked. Like I'll be going about my day, everything is fine, then I'll look down and "Oh no, I forgot to get dressed!".
I've obviously never done this in real life.

Oh jesus, thanks for that.
Just be very aware of unusual drafts!
