I’ve had a series of unsettling dreams lately making for mornings with an unsettled mind. Most of the time, I forget the details of the dream before I am coherent enough to make note of what the dream was about. A couple I do remember:
A Pet Sematary inspired dream where all the people around me had changed into Pet Sematary type people.
Me promising to resign from my job because they won’t let me hire the person I want for my vacant position and realizing they probably wanted that to happen.
The rest I can’t remember at all. I just remember waking up and feeling stressed and unsettled. Some ideas on what is causing the stress:
The first person I hired as a new supervisor resigned and moved to Florida. I lost a friend and employee, work is harder because we are short-staffed and I will have to hire someone new soon. As you can see from the above dream I seem to be more concerned about being allowed to hire who I want.
I have applied to two different jobs. One a promotion at my current place of employment and one a position at a different place. I think the stress of possible upcoming interviews has started seeping in.
A paranoid thought yesterday brought on by an email that made me think that perhaps I can’t trust people I thought I could trust.
My daughter going back to school soon leaving me once again with hours alone to fill.
My son getting close to starting his first real job after college and considering where to go to grad school.
A lot of little things adding up to my mind obviously being unsettled and affecting my dreams.
