Thanks for the interpretations, Deekun. You are right, a lot of my dreams lately have been frustrating, as there always seems to be some big, annoying obstacle standing in the way of something great. I have been asking to be able to experience more serenity and general joy in the everyday moment, so I suppose this is my subconscious' way of pointing out what types of things might be holding me back and how to get around them.
I think I remember one dream where I was sitting on the toilet reading a book. XD
I don't remember too much of last night's dream, but there did seem to be some sort of plot to it. Myself and a bunch of people I know, including my parents, several people from work, even some fictional characters, were all in what I can only describe as a big convention center. I had to pee, but the bathroom was right out where everybody could just watch you go, and I didn't want to go in front of everyone. I ended up going into what looked like a conference room, and my supervisor and some of my coworkers from my job were sitting in there. My supervisor, Mike, told me we all had to go to some other place to hear an important message, so we all got up and walked to this school. It was a really awesome school- very high tech. I WISH I'd gone to a high school like that. We walked into some kind of auditorium to hear this message, but I don't remember what the message was.
This dream makes me look back on some thoughts I've been having lately about my coworkers. It's strange...I have a pretty crap job. A lot of the people there have major quirks that make them hard to deal with (myself included, I'm sure). In general it seems like complete and utter chaos most of the time, but I feel like somehow my job is the closest thing to a memory complex I have. All the members of my department (there are 6 of us) are completely different, yet somehow we seem to have formed into this working unit. Several of us argue with each other frequently, the workload is unbalanced and there is usually a slight air of tension there all the time, yet on a deeper level we function more cohesively than I do with even my family. At times we almost feel hive-minded.
We all feel compelled to eat together every day- as far as I know, we are the only deparment that take all of our breaks at the same time and insist on sharing meals, even though it's usually just microwave oatmeal and frozen dinners. The other employees look at us like we're weird. When we're working out on the floor, we constantly check in with each other to confirm what has already been done and what will be done by each person. My supervisor constantly fills me in on his plans for the work day and asks me my opinion on how the deparment is running. We all seem to care about each other's actual opinions, which for me has been rare in the workplace. Quite often I've noticed we end up just following each other around, drifting around the store until everyone is together again, then we realize we're not getting any work done and have to split up and get back on task.
The strange thing is that there really seems to be no glue holding us together. We don't share many common interests, most of us annoy each other on a regular basis, we aren't involved in each other's personal lives, and yet we are such a tightly knit group. I had worked at my job for 2 years before moving to my current department, and I was astounded at the degree to which eveyone made an effort to include me and make me feel at home. When a new girl joined up we quickly integrated her as well. These people don't seem so much like friends as close relatives to me...I've never felt this way before about coworkers. I really wonder if this is what it feels like to have the beginnings of a memory complex...
BTW, Deekun, I checked out that link, but most of the type was too small for me to read it. When I resized the page, it just got blurry.
