This is something that probably happens to lots of people. You dream that you're working - the same kind of work you did the day before. I do this with computer work, especially if it's been intense or if I've done it late in the evening. The dreaming gets quite tedious - entering data over and over, fiddling with a template on and on....
Often in the past I've become aware during the dream that it was only a dream. I'd feel disgusted as I realized that all my work would have vanished in the morning. All for nothing! "I'm not really entering this into anything real," I'd say to myself, watching myself continue to work on my dream computer. But I couldn't seem to stop.
Last night, I stood up for myself. No more unpaid overtime! The same kind of tedious dream started - something about making a template for describing a painting to sell on ebay. But just a few seconds into it, when I realized this was ebay and computer work, I protested. "No! I don't want to dream about ebay! No! No computer work!" And by golly, the computer dream stopped! I was very pleased in the night and again when I woke up and remembered what had happened.
Workers of the dream world, unite! No pay, no work!
