Work anxiety dream
I normally hate reading about people's dreams. I firmly believe they're far more interesting to the dreamer than anyone else. As such, I don't know that I've ever posted anything about a dream that took more than two minutes to read. But this is more than that. I promise.
When I worked in retail, the standard anxiety dream was being told by my supervisor that I could leave after I helped one last customer. That customer would then pull a Bible-sized list out of a purse or pocket. When I worked at a restaraunt, I would get sat by a group of 50 just before my shift ended. When I worked for a photo lab, I would pick up my last job bag for the day and it would have 5000 negatives in it to print. When I worked for the print shop, I would have to restart the computer and the printer and the computer and the printer and recollate everything by hand.
And I don't know when the last time was that I had a work anxiety dream. I really think I've not had one at this job. I know work has occasionally affected my sleep, but for the most part I've been dream free. Well last night, or at least a few hours ago for me, I dreamt that I walked into my cube/office and there was a small blob of peanut butter on my desk. I turned to answer the phone and when I turned back it was spreading. I'm carrying on a conversation and watching it spread across my desk. I push a pile of papers out of the way, and do it again and then picke them up to move them to a filing cabinet which is suddenly coatded in peanut butter as well. And I accidentally touch some of it and then it is creeping up my arm and I can't wipe it off and it's coming out of the phone and its everywhere and then I wake up. I wake up twitching and violently and the cats jump off the bed because I scare them (Andrew doesn't move) and the first thing I think is "Man this is a sticky situation I've gotten myself into." And then I start laughing silently so I don't wake up Andrw and the cats come back to bed, with their suspicious and tired noses smelling at me. And I haven't been able to get back to sleep. All because I had a peanut butter nightmare
My brain, it is TEH WEIRD!!!1!!
