I seem to be having more vivid and memorable dreams recently. A couple this week have had to do with work.
First one, there was some technical issue that nobody could figure out, and it was up to me to come up with a solution. As I was waking up and coming out of the dream, I had a moment of stress and thought to myself, I've really got to get going on a plan for this. A moment later I was more fully awake, and realized, no I don't! And I never will! I think next month it'll be 10 years I've been retired.
Another dream, last night, I just started work some place, seemed like it might be a government job. I think I did get into the building once, but mostly either my badge didn't work, or I forgot it, or someone was there to stop me. Once they took me to another room and I think it was basically like being water boarded, where I wanted to scream but couldn't talk and was definitely under water or water being poured on me. I woke up out of breath, and knew it had been a dream. I have some sleep apnea if I sleep wrong and I have some dream where I can't talk but I don't remember water being involved before.
Not sure why lately my dreams have gone this way. I don't think I've eaten/drank/taken anything new lately, and no new stressors. I had a non-work related one that was odd but felt very real, and when I woke up my first thought was that I needed to remember to look it up on google or wikipedia to see if it was real, and then woke up enough to know it was a dream and certainly was not. Can't remember what that one was.
Anyway, the best part is to have a work dream and realize I'm done with those problems! Plus I don't even have to worry about my alarm clock buzzing 5 minutes later to get me up for work.
Anyone else with dreams from their work days? Don't respond if it'll cause you PTSD!
