Driving test
Driver's test, Driving exam, Road test
Gripping the wheel while an examiner silently takes notes is a classic anxiety dream, even for people who passed years ago. A driving test is about being judged on something practical, with rules you're expected to know by heart. The dream is common when you're being evaluated in a new role, or when you're about to be given more freedom. Passing smoothly reflects confidence in your own abilities. Failing, stalling or forgetting the rules mostly comes from nerves about being watched, not from a lack of skill.
