What is up with reccurring dreams?

I love the spontaneous shows of affection my sweet little almost two year old gives me. That girl knows how to work a crowd.
The pregnancy is finally at a state I can tolerate. I admit most of the time I make it to the guest bedroom bed around 3am because while our bed is a lot more like Mama Bear's bed, my back and restless legs prefers Papa Bear's mattress in the guest bedroom. It started so early this time! Do I really have six more months of this? Well, at least the occasional swooshing and tiny kicks make up for it.
About those reccurring dreams though. I have dreamed for years that my old high school calls to tell me the miscalculated and I never finished high school. When I go back to take classes, I can never find my classes or can't read the test. Considering that you can't use your left brain when your in a dream because it is a right brain activity, I guess that makes sense reading would be hard. I digress. Well, the last couple of years in my dream it occurs to me that, hey, I have a degree from a great university so who gives a flip about some stupid diploma. I wake up feeling better.
Obviously the issue isn't resolved however if I keep dreaming the same dag blam dream over and over again. So, I'm wondering what in the world has me feeling that on some basic level I have failed though for all intent and purpose I am a success? The other question is, is this a common thing for most people or am I just one of those crazy people?
If I could choose a reoccurring dream, it would include a day spa retreat with a massage and a facial, but definitely NOT high school! Then again, art class was pretty freaking awesome, so I could relive that one over and over or creative writing. That was one crazy awesome teacher.
