The author is observing that many people in his target audience have had a recurring anxiety-inducing dream about showing up to a college class on the last day after not attending most of the semester, even after being out of college for many years. It is unclear, however, if people who have not attended college would have this dream. Assuming not, this shows that the author presumes that most of his readers have attended formal institutions of higher education, providing a basis for them to have had this dream. This reinforces the idea that this is a comic for “smart people.”
