I still dream about it now and then, having been gone for three years. The current job hardly ever features at all. It sounds like that job had a big impact on your life; and not in a good way. Something about the job or the people must have been disturbing you deep down. I am glad you are out of it. Purrs, It did get really annoying towards the end, but the dreaming about the place and its people started right at the beginning of my time there, before it got to be a bad thing. And the dreams were seriously strange! For example: I had to go to work on Christmas Day, but there was nothing about to indicate it was Christmas - I just "knew". Lots of us were there, and a special buffet meal had been laid on. I remember watching a work colleague pile her plate high with merringues. Then we heard some interesting gossip - one of the senior sales staff had been arrested on drugs charges. Then I woke up! -- Cathi |

They're called "anxiety" dreams - most people get them, in one form or another. Are you going through a stressful period in your life? Unresolved stress is what usually brings them on. Mine have usually been about people and events in my life, not beloved pets, but equally upsetting. One of the recurring ones is that I'm somehow still living at home with my parents in Minnesota (I left home at twenty), then "wake up" in the middle of the night realizing that I simply MUST bet at work (in California) the next day! I usually wake "for real" feeling very upset, so it takes a glass of warm milk, or a few minutes with a book, before I can settle down enough to sleep again. (It sounds silly, but it doesn't FEEL silly, when I'm in the midst of it.) And of course, the "standard" one - when I was still singing - was to find myself onstage, costumed for an operatic role, large audience out front, and realizing that I had no idea which opera, and didn't know my part! (That was pretty scary, too.) I've had that same dream!!! It's awful. |
