      As someone diagnosed with PTSD that also has nightmares related to it, I think it’s way underplayed how much public schools give people long term emotional trauma.

      I think nakedness in dreams is just a common theme for vulnerability, but there’s a reason it’s so tied to school for many people, and it’s not because they’re healthy environments that produce well adjusted young adults.
