Bad Dreams About Work

[TelephoneAngel]

Last night's nightmare -

I was trying to find THE QUEEN'S account and going horribly slowly and couldn't find it, and she kept saying "hurry up girl, or I'll see you fired".

Back when we had a really good manager (ah, nostalgia) and he left to go work at another company, I dreamed that I ran into him somewhere and had a long conversation with him detailing all the reasons why he should come back to work with us again. It made perfect sense until I woke up.

Funniest thing is, he actually DID come back to work at our company again for a while. He left again, and last I heard he had gotten out of the industry altogether.

When I dream about work, it's usually a western. Like Wild Wild West (Will Smith-style) or Firefly.

But theres usually barren landscape and a train involved. Once, even a forest. But always a train.

Even the one time I dreamt about being in the airport, about to take a flight... we boarded a flying train. It was... odd.

I usually have dreams about work but not typically nightmares.

some include:

- The one in which my games store was suddenly the size of a two level department store and had somehow been relocated to Atlanta

- The one in which I was at work and no matter how hard I worked, the pile at the counter stayed the exact same size.

- The one in which I could NOT close the store no matter how hard I tried and SCs kept coming past 1 am (additional weirdness from that one: Even though hours passed in my dream, it was dusk outside the entire time)

And last but not least the one from a few nights ago where we got held up and robbed. It was near close, our phone rang and the voice on the other end told me to open the registers and safe, get the customers and employees out of the stores and not call the police no matter what.

Four people showed up, all armed with pistols. Two were on motorbikes, the other two were in a van. They took me and my three CWs out back (why so many of us were on duty at once I have no idea) and held us at gunpoint while they emptied our safe, cash drawers and console room. They also made us surrender our cell phones and took all the phones out of the store as well.

Then they took off. They didn't harm any of us and I woke up at that point.

I have plenty of oddball non-work related dreams too.
