School is learning, judgment and the life lessons you are going through. Returning to school in a dream usually means you are being tested in a current situation.
When the dream feels light
A pleasant school speaks of learning, growth and a new knowledge.
When the dream feels dark
Being late, lost or unprepared at school points to performance anxiety or fear of being judged.

The card of this dream
Eight of Pentacles. The apprentice’s devotion, skill earned one coin at a time. A craftsman sits at his bench, carving pentacles one by one, with others displayed on the post beside him. It is diligence, mastery, apprenticeship and work done with care.
