Sweet dreams are NOT made of this

I am pretty sure I've used this title before or one similar. Stands to reason since I do talk about what I've dreamed quite about it.
Anyhow, Saturday morning I had a dream that my manager and two co workers stopped by my house and my manager had me running around like a chicken with my head cut off, he needed to borrow this and that, he needed to leave this and that here and by the end of it he had me singing happy birthday to a woman I didn't know.
Then Sunday Morning I had a dream that the store changed. It started out me coming in to break down part of the truck and then all of a sudden it went from a grocery store to a retail market. I am not sure WHERE that came from but that wasn't the whole dream. The beginning started with me being chaperone to a couple of kids on some field trip...
I have no idea where these dreams come from but I had a family member suggest "You might as well work there 24/7 as much as you dream about it."

This is tame though. When I was working for dollar general several years ago? We were packing up our location and had to hand count items. I'd go to sleep at night dreaming that I was counting product...

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have dreams that I am doing my job. . . unpleasant dreams where it is all going wrong.

@NJChicaa Oh those are the worst! Fortunately / Unfortunately depending on how you look at it, I dream about work and usually it means that the next night I work is going to be harder / not what I expected it to be.

They come from your subconscious and thinking a lot about work.

@celticeagle I'm either a glutton for punishment or something else. All I know is that even though they annoy me, I don't want to give up hope that it will change.

Hi, they say our dreams came from our thoughts before sleep, and we carried it to our dreams. Maybe because your thinking too much about work thats why even in your dreams it shows.

I think that dreams are a system that the brain uses to regurgitate, file and compartmentalize all the sights, sounds, thoughts and sensations to which your senses are subjected every day. Dreams can be so weird...one minute, you're enjoying your favorite ice cream sundae, next second, a shark is trying to chew your arm off...

Yes they can definitely be very very random. It's also peculiar how a dream that shouldn't make sense DOES make sense. I've had dreams where they've made perfect sense but once I've woken up and processed it, I have to think to myself "WHERE did that come from and HOW is that even possible?"

@Wordly1 Yes I've had times when I've woken up and it's taken me a few minutes to either wake up fully or to get back to sleep. Usually it's when the dream is more of a nightmare. I don't have as many of those as I used to, but the ones I do have? I tend to end up staying up for atleast 30 minutes trying to calm myself.

@ScribbledAdNauseum How true! And have you ever had a dream where, when you woke up, out of breath, sometimes, and felt like you were still in the dream. By the way, I love Annie Lennox and that song: Sweet Dreams.

Dreams do not require a lot of imagination. A team of French researchers suggest that dreaming is generated by the part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord and plays a role in regulating sleep. I suppose that if you have constant thoughts during the day, you dream about this.

So these researchers suggest that dreams are just another means to keep sleep regulated?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I believe that this is what the suggest. I still have a different opinion about dreams, I sometimes dream what is going to happen, no matter if within two days or a month. How can they explain this?
