I remember very few of my dreams. I've read you always dream just don't always remember them. Last one I remember was 2-3 years ago.
I retired almost two years ago, stay in touch with some people that I enjoy, but w*rk is a distant memory. No hard feelings, I remember some fond memories but it's all in the past.
This morning I awoke in a panic, I had a vivid nightmare that I was back a Megacorp w*rking. This was very realistic with the right people, buildings, and offices. The subject was lifelike, a project two years late, it had to be done in two weeks. One of my team members was assigned, and done, but other areas failed to meet their due dates.
Then it got weird, me being escorted by the HR director to various directors, VPs, even the CIO's office to tell my side of what went wrong. Nothing like that had ever happened in real life, we just did the normal post project reviews. In the dream it was a witch hunt, I woke up fearing my team member or I would be terminated.
I've read that it's common for folks in substance recovery to have dreams of going back out, and feeling remorse for what they did. In a way this dream felt like I imagine that must. I awoke shaking and all panicky as if I had gone backwards and all the feelings of the last 5 horrible w*rking years came back.
My real question is did you every have post retirement nightmares about your prior w*rk life?
