dreaming of co-workers revisted

not me but the same peer at the office who prompted this post.  This time she dreamed about a different co-worker and the co-worker’s son.  It was a bizarre dream as many dreams are, that’s another reason to keep it to yourself.  I should mention that the dreamer is female and the co-workers she relays her work dreams to are also females.  Do you think she would tell me she had a dream about me (being the man that I am).  As innocent as the dream may be, that would really cross the line and rob me of the usual convenience of hiding my cringe behind the walls of my cube.

Dreaming of Coworkers…and telling them about it.

Rule number ____ (fill in the blank): do not tell your co-workers you had a dream about them last night. This hasn’t happened personally but rather overheard. However innocent the dream actually was, it never overcomes the creepy image/thoughts, even if you are “work friends” with the person. In fact it increases the creep factors when one says they had a dream “about you and another of your co-workers. That really drives the images. Because lets face it, dreams in today’s society have sexual overtones and intimate thoughts. And because dreams have very mysterious sources it adds to the “why exactly were you dreaming about me and what part of the dream are you not telling me” thought. Simply put, keep your dreams to yourself and if you are dreaming about work and your co-workers actually being your co-workers, in that capacity (and not your friends or lovers) get a life.
