WORK: I've had a recurring dream in which I'm back at work, the job starts getting too oppressive for me, and then I realise that I've been working for free for a year and can quit any time I like without losing my income. Unfortunately I've always woken up before I've had the chance to get really confident and assertive with the bosses and to act like I'm their equal. I think the cause of the dream might be a sense of regret that I spent my whole working life not feeling quite able to say what I thought in case they got rid of me and I lost my income.
