But what do these dreams actually mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Office furniture specialists\u00a0<\/span>Furniture At Work<span>\u00a0have partnered with India-based psychologist Arouba Kabir Pathan, who specialises in dream analysis, to uncover exactly why we have work dreams &#8211; and what they signify.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;If you find the frequency of these dreams increasing, this may well be influenced by different work-related factors such as job stress, career satisfaction and overall engagement with your work, so it&#8217;s important to think about what they might mean,&#8217; Arouba told FEMAIL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/07\/15\/77510771-12720901-image-a-53_1699371240637.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>One of the most common work dreams is being late or unprepared in some way\u00a0(stock image)<\/p>\n<p><span>The expert added it&#8217;s common for people to bring emotions from dreams into consciousness, which could be noticed by colleagues or employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;Work dreams can influence our emotions and mindset upon waking, potentially impacting our behaviour at work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;So, if someone dreams about a conflict with a coworker, they may bring residual emotions into their interactions the next day.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Here, Arouba reveals the meanings behind some of the most common work-associated dreams&#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>1. Being late or unprepared<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>One of the most common work dreams is being late or unprepared in some way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you&#8217;re having dreams where you&#8217;re feeling anxious and unprepared, this could reflect concerns that you&#8217;re not meeting expectations at work,&#8217; said Arouba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It could also mean you have a fear of failure about certain tasks at work, or you may be feeling unprepared for a challenge that lies ahead.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>2. Conflict with colleagues or boss<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dreaming about conflict can be stressful and could be an indication of a deeper-rooted issue with communication in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Arouba revealed: &#8216;This type of dream reflects interpersonal issues or power dynamics at work. It could also signify unresolved conflicts or the need for better communication.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>3. Job loss or demotion<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Many people have dreams about losing their job, which reveals their anxieties around job security and job performance, according to the expert.<\/p>\n<p>Arouba said: &#8216;Dreaming of a demotion signifies a fear of losing job security.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It can also show concerns about your own competence and performance.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/15\/77510773-12720901-Psychologist_Arouba_Kabir_Pathan_told_FEMAIL_Dreaming_of_a_demot-a-41_1699542577143.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Psychologist Arouba Kabir Pathan told FEMAIL: &#8216;Dreaming of a demotion signifies a fear of losing job security.&#8217; (stock image)<\/p>\n<p><span>4. Repetitive tasks or mundane work<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dreaming about your everyday, repetitive work tasks may not be as harmless as you think \u2013 and could actually signify it&#8217;s time to look for a new job.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Monotonous work dreams could reflect feelings of boredom, routine or dissatisfaction with the current job tasks,&#8217; Arouba explained.<\/p>\n<p><span>5. Doing a different job<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While dreams about current jobs are frequent, many people also experience dreaming about new ventures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This reflects a desire for change or dissatisfaction with your current job. It could also suggest a need for personal growth and exploration,&#8217; Arouba said.<\/p>\n<p><span>6. Being chased or pursued at work<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dreaming of being chased is extremely common, but dreaming about being chased at work specifically can indicate mounting pressure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Dreaming of being chased by a colleague shows you&#8217;re feeling overwhelmed, pursued by responsibilities, or avoiding something important in your professional life,&#8217; according to Arouba.<\/p>\n<p><span>7. Missing a deadline<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A dream about missing a deadline can cause many to wake up in a panic. This type of dream can show you&#8217;re concerned about meeting expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Arouba explained: &#8216;This type of dream can show stress about time management, fear of falling short of expectations, or concerns about failing to meet goals.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/15\/77510775-12720901-A_dream_about_missing_a_deadline_can_cause_many_to_wake_up_in_a_-a-42_1699542577916.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A dream about missing a deadline can cause many to wake up in a panic.

Inability to communicate<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Dreams where you&#8217;re unable to speak or communicate can be stressful.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;This type of dream shows issues with expressing oneself at work,&#8217; Arouba said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You could be feeling unheard or facing challenges in conveying ideas effectively.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><span>9. Success and recognition<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not all work dreams are based on negative situations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Positive work dreams, such as receiving praise or a promotion, might signify a desire for recognition, achievement, or a positive self-evaluation,&#8217; explained Arouba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;While the dream is positive, it could show something you lack in your working life.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12720901\/what-dreams-mean-expert-secrets-work-scenarios.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a psychologist &#8211; here are the most common dreams about work and what they mean for your career Psychologist<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>US Entertainment News.
