Dreaming of working

[ElaineGardiner]

So Saturday morning i wake my other half up by sleep talking, apparently i kept asking him for the terms & conditions, and the other week i woke up in a haze telling him i would get up in a minute once "i've finished writing this e-mail".

Luckily i don't sleep walk otherwise i think i would actually work in my sleep.

Does anyone else sleep talk about work or have those nightmares where you can never finish something in time....??

[gyelloz]

I don't think I sleep talk (at least no one has ever told me I do), but I dream/have nightmares about work all the time. LOL I wish I could work in my sleep. That would save so much time!

Work, on occasion, does make it into the dreams.

When I used to work for Telstra Directory Assistance, I would dream about "what name please?" in my sleep and on many occasions even answered the phone with that phrase. Very embarrassing.. I would also dream about finding entries in the yellow pages in my sleep..

These days, I still have nightmares about work.. There is one person in particular I dream about often.. and he is always hassling me for a bonus. I also dream about another affiliate organising a deal with him in our office on very small chairs and a kiddies table. Very strange.

I often talk in my sleep too, but so far I've had no complaints from my other half.

I think if that's the only thing I'm dreaming about (or that i can remember dreaming about) then there mustn't be any problems in my life at that time.. I have these reoccurring dreams but they are for another thread.

I used to work in Mcdonalds when i was younger and i kept having dreams that i couldn't make Big Mac's quick enough and the queue was getting bigger and bigger.

It's funny you say that dhayman, i'm actually off to New York on Thursday (my first time) , and i'm super excited, although i'll still need to check in once or twice a day as there is no one to cover for me...but i'm sure when i'm in the shops i'll easily forget

When I was active in my software QA company, I had dreamt once or twice about failing to find software bugs. And recently I had won a jackpot - in my dream

I either don't dream often or, as is more likely, don't remember my dreams often. I haven't dreamt (or remembered dreaming) about webmaster stuff yet, but have had the occasional dream about my 'day job'.

What I do often dream about (i.e. if I am going to remember the dreams) is a computer game if I am playing one a fair bit at any time. At the moment I am playing Fallout 3 a lot, so dreams inspired by that one might be interesting!

I worked at McDonalds for 4.5 years when I was a teenager too...

That is one of my recurring dreams - I go back to work at Maccas on the weekends to earn some extra cash.. Stupid dream. Have it all the time. Not sure why.

Maybe we need to get a dreams expert in here...

[ElaineGardiner]

I looked it up, apparently it's a common enough to be in the dream dictionary.

"To dream of McDonalds or any fast food restaurant, is about the need to speed up your digestive system. Fast food is a symbolic antidote to a sluggish digestive system. To emphasize the healing, the dream will often place you in the drive through which provides faster fast food, and is usually very brightly lit in the dream."

hmmmm not sure, although i think almost everyone who worked there had a nightmare about it...maybe something in the food LOL

No stupid dream. You are just dreaming of a salary rise

Happens all the time, my wife thinks I am going crazy!

[GPWA Aaron]

I once came home from a poker game with friends, and my wife was talking to me about something she had done that night. It was pretty late, and I was dozing off. I was pretty much completely asleep when she asked me a question about what we should plan on doing that weekend. She nudged me for a response and said in a stern voice "Aaron?"

My response? "I'm all in."

Didn't go over very well, even though I'd been a big winner that night!

I do remember being a bit of a video game addict as a teenager and had many dreams about Tetris and Dr. Mario (a similar type of game). If I've learned anything over the last 15-20 years, it's that balance is essential! Glad to hear you're taking a vacation soon Elaine, and hope you'll be dreaming of NYC instead of work!

LMAO

I also have a recurring dream about driving a car naked and the brakes don't work.

What you think that one means?

Edited to add:

Another recurring dream of mine is that people are always watching me go to the toilet.. Now that one is whack!

I think both these dreams are nudges to wake you up to go to the toilet instead of peeing in the bed. In the first dream, you are half way to the toilet, being naked, but can't make it because the failing brakes wont let you out of the car. And the second one is telling you that, since you are a very friendly person, people are watching you go to the toilet and hoping and praying that you don't miss your target - again.
