Hi Kim -
You wouldn't be worried about going back to school now, would you?
Believe it or not, your dream is very common. You would be surprised at how many people - young and old - dream about forgetting important things, not being able to find their way, being unprepared, or just being late to get somewhere. It's always a little nerve-racking to get ready for a new school year.
Lockers are our only personal, private space in the whole school that we can call our own. Not being able to access that space at the beginning of school (when we most need it!) is an awful feeling. Similarly, forgetting our classes and being late means having to run around trying to find them - and then more unwanted attention when we walk in late. If you're entering high school this year - or if you're switching schools - then it's natural that you would worry about where your locker is going to be and how you are going to find your new classes. Even if you're going back to the same school as last year you're going to have a new locker and new classrooms, so this dream most likely reflects a case of those "back-to school jitters"
The good news is that you're not alone. You can rest assured that many - if not most - of your friends feel exactly the same way. The funny thing is that people who have dreams like this are usually the ones who are best prepared. So don't worry too much about any of those things actually happening. You've gone "back to school" plenty of times now - and before you can spell 
H-O-M-E-R-O-O-M - you're going to know that school like the back of your hand!
Have a great year!
