What does this recurring dream mean?

Background Info:  It’s been years since Iived on-campus at my undergrad college.  Since then, I’ve lived in other cities and another state. The experience I had at the college was life-changing in a good way—I studied theology, sexuality, and Christian literature.  It was a conservative college.  However, my beliefs and lifestyle are no longer congruent with the culture this school.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been having this recurring dream:

It’s present day. I’m aware that I have my belongings in my old dorm room. It is urgent that I go back to the school, pack up, and move out.

In some of my dreams, I try to store my belongings with my parents.

In some of my dreams, I go to the campus and search for my former mentor.

In some of my dreams, the campus itself has radically changed in appearance. In this particular dream, I search for familiar things.

Regardless of the scenario, one thing is consistent:  I need to pack up my belongings and move.

I get the surface meaning:  it’s time to move on from my past.

But, I wonder what the different elements could be telling me. Any thoughts?
