                       take responsibility yourself, you mistrust the ability of
                       others to manage things properly.  If you get into an
                       accident while driving, you are warning yourself to
                       "go slow" about something; the rest of the dream
                       will show what..

                       not passed, this can be a warning from the unconscious
                       that the dreamer is ill-prepared for the challenges and
                       test of waking life.  Examination dreams occur often
                       when the dreamer is about to make some important
                       waking life decision.  If the dream exam is a medical
