Here is my pissy post for the day.
I got to sleep a little late last night, which is no big deal. But I had the most stressful dream I've ever had last night. Not scary, but out and out stressful.
I was at a convention playing a cool virtual reality game when I was interrupted by some guy who needed tech support with several Adobe products. He wouldn't answer my questions clearly, kept doing things I'd asked him not to do and was generally stubborn and incoherent.
So not only did I get less sleep than normal (which is my own fault), but my sleep wasn't restful because I was on a shit call. And I would wake up enough to look at the time on the clock, fall asleep and he was back. AHHH!!

Date: 2004-02-11 03:05 pm (UTC)I used to have them all the time. I'd always be at work, but it was transplanted somewhere else. Sometimes I'd be running an espresso machine from inside a house and people would just walk in the front door to get their coffee. Other times, maybe it was just in another place, or even outdoors in the open. In these dreams, it was always about the same pattern. I'd start making drinks, but then I'd get overwhelmed by the orders and everything would start going wrong. I'd start dropping things and spilling things. Maybe I'd just lose track of what I was doing and get hopelessly confused. Then I'd start yelling at the customers. Really screaming at them in utter rage.
Unfortunately, I don't have any solution, stop hating your job I guess, as if that were "advice."
Good Luck.

Only advice I can give is to try to go sleep with something specific on your mind.
