Answer 2

To understand a dream, it’s helpful to keep in mind why and how we dream. When we sleep, the body and perception systems are shut down, but the brain remains active. The brain thinks about what has recently been most active during waking hours—experiences, thoughts and feelings accessed recently whether consciously or not. The brain is still active, so it works on this content, but not in a familiar, rational way. During sleep, this material is not related using input from the external real world, but rather by the brain connections already established in the cortex. So the story connectedness isn’t like everyday experience, but rather a strange, circuitous flow from one image to the next. So dreams aren’t magical messages to guide our life, but dream imagery is taken from everyday experiences, thoughts and feelings that matter most to us during our waking life. So it’s a mistake to apply standard symbol definitions, such as Freudian meanings. All you need to do is think about what kind of imagery it is and how it relates to your daily life.

Either consciously or unconsciously, your may be thinking a lot these days about your job and whether management there is pleased with your performance. A job is important, and very few people few really secure. Maybe you've made mistakes or had feedback or indications that you could or should improve, and it has been worrying you?

Answer 3

Are you happy at the pharmacy? It could be that you feel like you aren't doing well enough at the pharmacy you work out now so you fear you'll get fired. Another thing that might happen is if you left the clothing store unsure about things, or left with unfinished business, that could cause the skepticism. Just assess your opinoins and feelings about the places and try to come to your conclusion.

Answer 4

I think this dream is a subconscious interpretation of your underlying fear of losing your current position, and what you would be most afraid of doing as a result of that--going back to your old job and your old boss Dave, begging for your once secure position back. The number one stress humans experience, even more so than loss of a loved one, is the changing or loss of job. Have confidence in your performance at your current job, believe in yourself, and the recurring dream should go away!

Answer 5

I had the same kind of dream that was still working at the supermarket that I worked at while I was in college. It kept repeating on and off for more than 20 years. It left me feeling desperate and trapped. I've always seen dreams as metaphors for you conscious ( real ) life and maybe I had fear that if I failed in my present career, I'd wind up back stocking shelves, shagging carriages, being a cashier or cleaning the toilets.
