Do you dream about work?

Don't worry, it's not at all unusual to dream about working. When I sold jewelry at Christmas (way back when) I would sell jewelry all night in my sleep!

Yes. I dream that it's the end of my shift and I haven't seen my patients all night or given them their meds. This dream usually pops up when I'm stressed or worried about something. Before I was a nurse, it was the classic dream of having a final the next day and realizing that I hadn't been to class all semester or read any of the assignments.

I occasionally dream about work; my dreams have always been about certain critical patients that I'm taking care of at that time. Usually I just dream of doing my normal nursing care, but several times I have had good dreams wherein the patients have done something miraculous, like smiled, walked, etc. I like those dreams!

PS.....the weirdest thing is when I dream our chief of anesthesiology.

He is not a people person, can be very blunt with his co-workers and his patients. Yet twice I have dreamed about him and he is so nice...he told me I could go home early and he would take care of my patients!

Another time I dreamed I had to calculate a medication dosage and couldn't do the math, it was a basic easy math equation. I asked him to help and he was so nice and understanding, said he sometimes had problems with division also. The next day I told him about that dream, he laughed and said, 'You know if it really happened I would be very annoyed with you."

I only dream about hitting the lottery and going to all of my favorite places, checking them off as I visit. For some strange reason, I can't find my job on that list. But hang tight for a few while I thumb through. I'm sure it's there....only made it to page 65 so far.

So I dreamed about work last night, that a fellow nurse I've had issues with had been promoted to assistant nurse manager. She kept trying to clean out my locker even though I still worked there:p

I dream about work fairly often. Most commonly, I have assigned patients that no one told me about or I'm working the whole floor alone.

Hilarious lol!!!

Usually I dream about coworkers more than "work". I am good friends with several of them so my dreams are usually good. However when I dream of my manager it's always that she is giving me someone else's job to do on top of my own (sadly this is becoming more of a reality than a dream).

Sistrmoon I may have had a few of those too.

Yes. Oddly enough though, it's usually romantic dreams about coworkers rather than stress dreams. I try not to psychoanalyze that too deeply:)

Hahahahahah

, 'You know if it really happened I would be very annoyed with you."

I waited tables for years before I was a nurse, and I still have dreams about that more often than nursing. The nursing dreams I do have are often some weird combination of waitressing and nursing, and I'm always running behind and forgetting things/patients/customers.
