    Default Dreams about Work....??

    I know when work is getting to me when I start dreaming about it! My dreams are usually situated elsewhere and not at work..... I do get slightly concerned :o when I dream about work in my sleep.

    ??? ??? Do you sometimes dream about work or have a dream that places you at work? When do you get these dreams? ??? ???

    Like I said.. I know when I need a break from work when I start dreaming about it.

    Just curious

    Yes, I have had dreams as a DJ, generally in the category of humorous nightmares, i.e. I left all my music at home, none of the dancers I call on stage will come up, the equipment is all new and unfamiliar, the wrong song keeps playing, etc.

    I have been in theatre and still occasionally have the dream where it is opening night, I know none, not a single one of my lines, I am desperately trying to find a script so I can get even a remote idea what I am supposed to say or what is to happen, etc., but no one has one, or will give it to me, and of course, everyone is pissed off that I have been such a screw-up.

    If you read about dreams you will discover that these nightmares are common to all, even the happiest, most successful people. We tend to remember them more as the stress wakes us up!

    Since I have been doing pole tricks I have had many dreams where my agility is superhuman, etc. Or where I am forced to pick up my car and carry it around for some reason--to park in a tight spot, etc. I have had many dreams that are like adventure novels or movies, and those are great fun! I cannot recall any of these that took place in a DJ booth, LOL.

    I have never danced on a stage, but I can imagine how much fun dreaming of this could be for you! Hundreds, thousands, millions of men throwing money, jewelry, expensive automobiles, etc., onstage.

    Lucid dreams are those in which you are aware that you are dreaming and can influence them accordingly, this can be learned, or forgotten, with or without the practice--as with any skill. I did this for a while, it can be very empowering. You try to imagine what you want as you go to sleep, and it tends to happen, and gets easier the more you do it. As visualization of your goals is very beneficial to their attainment, trying this can only be helpful.

    I dreamt about work just the other night. I know what you mean, even if a dream about work is benign in nature, I still find it somewhat disturbing.

    Shan, it happened to me as well. AS time goes on, though, it will become less and less of an annoyance. Then, you will only dream about it once in a while, I think anway.

    I've dreamt about work quite a bit - both dancing and my day job. Quite honestly, I thought it was a fairly commonplace thing. Now the dream I had last night really worried me...I am going to Maui in 3 weeks, and I dreamt that I was about to get on the flight home, and I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to surf during my entire vacation! I'm still trying to make sense of that one...lol!

    Ara,
    heheh thats hilarious! Well, when you get to Maui, make sure you surf, girly!!!!
    maybe if you interpret your dream, it means:
    Maui is your vacation and surfing would be something common/obvious to do. If, in your dream you forgot to do that, then it may mean that you were too busy thinkng of something else, rather than your vacation.
    Make sure when you head off to Maui, you relax and have a great time, and do all the fun things a vacation has to offer, and worry about your real life when you get back. =)

    I have very vivid dreams and I also dream often. They are almost always symbolic dreams, but when I dream about work (which is maybe 2x's per month), I dream a lot about doing pole tricks. It sounds silly - especially since I am too nervous to do them at work after seing a girl break her knee. So I guess I make up for it in my dreams!

    I can't remember ever dreaming about work, but then I hardly ever remember my dreams anyway. The 'experts' say we all dream every night, but we generally remember little if any, so I guess I could be dreaming about work alot and just don't know it!

    OH yes! I have had the same damn dream quite a few times.
    I am dancing on stage, and a guy comes up to dance with me, then it gets kinda hazey, and he has on a black cape and DARK eyes, hair. He is sensual, but lays me down, then seems as though he is going to kiss me, (i am naked.) wrong, his fangs come out just as he says "this is not going to hurt". I always wake up at that point.
    You know whats strange, i usually have the dream around period time. So....Go figure. But that is one that has been with me for some time.

    I don't dream about clubs, but I dream about work. And I just love the times where I dream about a full day at work, wake up tired, and then have to go to work.

    ...okay, maybe all this talking about dreams and work made me have a dream about work last night. I was on stage (as I usually am in my dreams), and I was crawling across stage ( I never do any floor work - our stage is too narrow and it's ooky on the floor) , and a customer put a quarter on the small of my back as I crawled by. Weird.
    I also *never* dream about doing table dances or going to the Champagne Lounge - which I find odd!

    Damnit, now I had a dream about work, too, LOL. I don't remember it all that well, but I do know that at least the amps worked, it wasn't the wrong song everytime, and the dancer showed up when I called her.

    Thats how you can make your dreams work for you--it does happen quite frequently that if you talk about a certain kind of dream, ya get it. So if you keep working on that basis, you can program your dreams, and after you get good at that, you can program them WHILE you're dreaming, and that's when the fun starts, especially if you're into science fiction, etc But like any skill its use it or lose it. I used to do it a lot but stopped a while ago.

    over all the years I danced, I never remembered my dreams. this is unusual for me. i am the kind of person who dreams when i doze off in the afternoon lying on the couch watching tv. if i don't recall a dream, i am always aware of having dreamed. but after i started dancing all of that changed. i actually enjoyed dancing. i mean, it was dark, i got paid to party & make guys horny, i had an alias, no one knew or cared who i really was, i worked when i wanted, i made good money & when i ran out, i made more... like any other job it had its bullshit to put up with. but no dreams. i don't think i was so traumatized i didn't dream... i think it exhausted me in a way nothing else ever did.

    When I was a server if some one called me and woke me up I'd answer the phone like I was at work. Some people started placing orders before I fully woke up. It means you need a vacation!

    I'm not dancing but I've been dreaming about work a lot lately. The other day I took a nap and it was like I wasn't even asleep, I was just right back at work.

    I also had a terrible dream that one of my coworkers committed suicide. Then I found out today a friend died so it's a creepy thing. I"ve been having a lot of bad dreams lately. I think it's stress.

    I do from time to time and sometimes I dance in my sleep - not very well either from what I've been told, lol!
    I find I'm more inclined to dream about work when I've had really good fun nights

    LMAO, that's funny because Friday night my hubby said I was talking in my sleep and said "I don't like dancing for fat, ugly men" like I was having a conversation with someone, lol. In reality, I don't mind as long as they have the cash.

    I always dream about work when I have started a new job. Probably just processing all the information Also, if I get home from work and go straight to bed without any "downtime" I sometimes dream about work.

    It's the worst!! You wake up after dreaming about being at work, and have to go there again. And you don't get payed for it. I don't think there is anything wrong with it per se... just your mind's way of filtering out the day, I suppose

    I used to have dreams that last minute customers kept coming through the door and we couldn't close till like 8am
