dreams

a co-worker and i had a fun little conversation today about dreaming of being at work or dreaming of work-related stuff. please, please feel free to add your own comments on this one! i would love to hear about your crazy work dreams.

this co-worker of mine dreamed about a man who had called yesterday and yelled at her for a supervisor. in the dream, he called back and yelled some more. hmmm...

according to www.dreammoods.com:



To see a man in your dream, denotes the masculine aspect of yourself - the side that is assertive, rational, aggressive, and/or competitive. If the man is known to you, then the dream may reflect you feelings and concerns you have about him.
If you are a woman and dream that you are in the arms of a man, suggests that you are accepting and welcoming your stronger assertive personality . It may also highlight your desires to be in a relationship and your image of the ideal man.
To see an old man in your dream, represents wisdom or forgiveness. The old man may be a archetypal figure who is offering guidance to some daily problem.

To see or hear a telephone in your dream, signifies a message from your unconscious or some sort of telepathic communication. You may be forced to confront issues which you have tried to avoid. Alternatively, the telephone represents your communication and relationship with others.
To dream that you do not want to answer the ringing telephone, indicates lack of communication. There is a situation or relationship that you are tying to keep at a distance.
To dream that you are having a telephone conversation with someone your know,  signifies an issue that you need to confront with that person. This issue may have to do with letting go some part of yourself. 

To dream that you or someone is yelling, represents repressed anger that need to be expressed. If you are yelling and no one hears, then it suggests that you are being ignored. You feel that your voice does not matter or that your opinion doesn't count.

in waking life, this person is on day 9 without a cigarette. quitting is tough, and she hasn't caved once! so, good job. ok, here's my interpretation of this dream:

she picked up the phone, which means she has a desire to communicate. the person is yelling, so there is repressed anger there, so she's wanting to communicate anger. it was an angry man, so that makes sense. ummm... 

maybe she was just stressed out by the yelling man on the phone. 

i have had dreams about work and working on our computer system. during the first few months of marriage, my husband would come to bed after me and think i was awake and ask me a question. i would answer, barely conscious, that he needed a claim form or that the system was something... being a wonderful and caring husband, he asked another question -- just so that i would keep talking nonsense. now, i know there are those HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) privacy laws, so i hope i didn't mention anybody's PII (Personal Identifiable Information) or PHI (Personal Health Information), because that would be bad. but actually, i wasn't fully conscious. would that hold up in court?

tonight is another meeting of The Finer Things Club! we will be discussing Les Miserables. most of us read the movie and are planning to watch the book eventually. i admit, i only got to page 200-something. but i did watch the movie with Liam Neeson. but i keep thinking Uma Thurman when i read about Fantine... and i don't want that.

the light bulb

i just had a brilliant idea! i am going to blog about my office. now, i will not be giving out personal identifiable information, thus violating HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 - look it up). ever since they blocked facebook in the office, we have had nothing to do. most of us in my department picked up twitter, but you can only tell the world what you're doing a few times a day before you look self-obsessed... or really, really bored. which is what i am.

therefore, i am starting an office blog. i'm kind of excited.

today's topic: young, energetic people with good ideas who hit a ceiling when they try to contribute something. seriously. now, i am only 23 years old. i know i'm not the wise woman i hope to someday be, but i do believe that, every once in a while, i have a good idea. and i get shot down. or i have an opinion. that gets shot down even faster.

i know i'm not alone. there are several people (mostly 20somethings who, like myself, are too creative not to be bored with the desk jobs they have) who see problems but who don't really have a say in the Company and don't have the right strings (or blood relations) to get a say. it's really frustrating.

ok, that's all the time i have for now. i'm sure i will be posting again soon.

office moment of the day: finding out that the season premiere of The Office starts at 9pm on 9/17/09, and setting it as a meeting in my Microsoft Outlook and inviting my department and a few choice Office fans. i guess there are a few things about my job that i truly enjoy.
