Dreaming of Employment

employment, career, job · mostly negative, with one reassuring exception

A dream about employment is mostly about work and financial security, with gloomy omens unless you're the one out of work.

What happens in the dream

  • Dreaming of employment in general: a slowdown in business, loss of work, or even ill health
  • You're out of work: no need to worry, your reliability means people will always seek you out
  • You give work to others: a loss for yourself

How you felt

  • Worry: the dream often reflects anxiety about your job or income
  • A sense of responsibility: you may be carrying other people's load as well as your own

Ask yourself

  • Do I feel secure in my work right now?
  • Am I giving more to others than to myself?
