Dreaming about work

I had one of those completely bizarre, abstract dreams last night but during it's course, I woke up and it was very clear to me that it was about work.

I was working at a hospital (not my hospital) with some of my real coworkers. The hospital was eerily quiet and everywhere I went, I ran into other hospital staffers (the information desk, the ward clerks, the executive walking down the hallway, the tech wheeling a gurney, etc.) and they were ALL CLOWNS, and not the happy ones -- they were the sad, angry ones with runny makeup and devilish smiles. No kidding.

It gets better -- I figure out that my place of work is some sort of hospital/amusement park combination. I walk out to go home and get on a roller coaster to leave -- apparently this is how you get home from the place. So, I take a very scary roller coaster ride and guess what? Finish up right where I started, back at the hospital. It was only then that I remembered that roller coasters do that and that there clearly is no way out of this place.

I wake up feeling rather anxious at 3:30 AM.

Profound, or just weird?

:eek:

    After my first IUFD that was a lady partsl breech delivery. I had a recurrent nightmare that I was attending a breech delievry and the baby's head kept ripping of the body! It was very unnerving. I had the dream 2-3x a week for about a month. Haven't had it again and I am greatful.

    I dream about work almost every night. My latest involved walking into a code and initiating compressions, all while hollering out for help. No one shows up, and I'm in there busting ass, doing CPR. Finally I quit and come out to the hall and everyone is giggling and tells me that the patient had a pulse the entire time, and I just forgot to check. It was jacked up :lol2:

    Anything is better than the dreams I was having after my first pediatric code and death a few weeks ago. It took forever to wipe that out of my head.

    All interesting responses, thanks guys. Sometimes I wish I knew something about dream interpretation --- would be interesting to know what all this is about, besides the repressed anxiety that seems to be a common theme.
