I’m back at the restaurant where I worked throughout university and beyond. There is no organization in staffing, and the customers are smoking at the table by the entrance, and I’m allergic. I try to find someone in charge, but find only cooks smoking in the kitchen. Coming back to work here is obviously a mistake.
It’s a dream, and a theme I revisit often in the dream time – or at least a version of it.
Waiting is a common dream theme for women. Waiting on, waiting for, and even ‘weighting’ – carrying the burdens.
I decide to respond:
Let’s get this straight: what once sustained me, no longer serves. I no longer serve those whose choices compromise me, those who ignore my needs. I can’t change them for the better, so why try? Let them linger in the past while I walk away, absolved.
Have you ever talked back to your dreams? Actually feels good.

I don’t think so, but now I’m going to have to try it! 🙂

Thanks for the advice. Ive had the same troubling dream for over 30 years. I’ve only come recently to understand it. It’s about unresolved issues from the past that I’ve never dealt with.

Dreams can be such a good source of understanding and healing.

Oh, I have talked to my dreams. Mostly those that reflect when I was in the corporate world. I remember having to get coffee for managers, etc. Further down the road, I owned my own business, and I never expected my employees to serve me coffee. The dream is reoccurring, and you would think it would have fizzled since I have been retired since 2012. Sigh…

Yes, and maybe they help us sort things out so we can have closure. Who knows!

Frustration dreams using result from something bugging me IRL. I might even have one tonight! Perhaps I’ll give it a good talking to.😁

A great response and answer to such a dream. For myself, I very rarely remember my dreams.

When I was younger, there were a few recurring dreams, mostly about my late mother, but now if I dream- I can’t recall it in 99% cases.

No, I haven’t talked back to any of my dreams. My response to anxiety or fear dreams is, “Uh oh, I think my subconscious may be trying to tell me something for my own good.”
