There is still higher ground or higher levels of intelligence that your knowledge may not reach. You admire the mountain, implying that a problem presents itself as an admirable or worthy challenge to you. By coming back later the challenge before you is identified as negative or wrong. Thoughts that you would consider working on a problem are becoming another kind of problem. Your true Self is outraged at this.
Nature puts no trees on mountain tops.
Thinking as an activist, your concerns are not those of the true Self's. This dream clearly indicates you have been working too hard. The fact that you can't remember and don't care whether you have something as important as a Master's degree means that, in the long run, having fun is more important than putting in a lot of hours working. Perhaps you wanted to forget about all the problems in your life. I'm thinking that you may be quite stressed, or worried about the future.
