Dreaming Lens: Did the dream take place at work? Was it your work place or a fictitious setting? What were you doing there? Who else was present? Was the dream stressful or pleasant?
Personal Focus: We are a society built around jobs and work. Most people relate to their jobs as something that they have to do in order to make ends meet. In this way, your job and your workplace are symbolic representations of all of the responsibilities and obligations that life presents you with.
Very often, dreams about your work are to be taken very literally. You spend a great deal of time there and your dreams may be filled with images from your day; a dream taking place where you work may very well be a compensatory dream helping you cope with stress and wake up the next day to face it all over again. However, such a dream could also be a convenient way for your unconscious to express feelings surrounding other responsibilities and obligations that need attention.
Not all dreams taking place at work are stressful. If this is the case, use your feelings about your job, the environment at work and your coworkers to help you identify what elements of your own personality are being expressed in your dream. Many people have a very different sense of self in the workplace than in other parts of life. Consider your relationship to your work carefully when examining a dream that took place there.
