Ever dreamt about your job?

Post Reply New Topic

When working for Burger King making salads, I had a dream that I was drowning in a sea of salads, desperately trying to fight my way up.

When working for Mcdonalds, I had a dream I went to Mcdondalds as a customer, and they didn't give me my food fast enough, so I leapt over the counter and made the hamburgers myself.

When I worked as a nanny with a two month old, I had a recurring dream in which I forgot where I put the baby, and I'd wake up with my heart beating like an African drum, and it would take me a few minutes to realize it was a dream.

Anyone else has a similar experience?

Very rarely do I dream about work. When I do, usually something bad will happen...and then the next time I actually do go to work, something very similar will happen

I sometimes dream that I am working a previous places of employment. Often I am working at a particular stationary store I worked at decades ago. Rarely dream about current employment.

Actually I did have an interesting dream about my weekend job at the local mobile deejay company I worked for while I was still working for the company. IRL I was working in the office and only deejayed as a back up deejay in case of emergencies. Had a sense that the company was starting to not do well. One night I dreamt that the boss, and owner of the company, opened up (oddly enough) a little stationery store in the local mall. You would walk into a little store and find big books of sample custom stationery you could order for your wedding. And then when you turned around to leave you would see a big flat screen TV above the door which ran a commercial for the DJ company: endless videos of the owner guy extolling the virtues of his party deejays, and showing footage of wedding , reception, the hokey pokey etc. The stationery store was just the tail wagging the dog, to promote the deejay company. The dream did have a certain business logic. People who are in the market of wedding stationery are also in the market of music for their reception.

I remembered the dream when I awoke, and even seriously considered suggesting the venture to my boss at the Deejay company. Never did. A year or two later the deejay company did go out of business after doing well for 30 years. .

I had a couple bad dreams about jobs I was working at but most of the time I dreamed about the jobs after I quit working.

I have dreamed about being late to work on several occasions but, in real life, I'm always early. If I am ever late to work, I notify them ahead of time.

Yes.
Too often.
It'll go something like this...

I walk around a corner
and see the huge
part of the landscape
that I forgot about
and neglected
and is overgrown
and that everyone
is afraid to tell me
about.

Maybe they're not into Webber & Rice?
