Being fired from a job in a dream represents opportunity. Maybe it’s time for a change? At this point in your life, you’re probably unhappy with the situation you’re in and the job you have. But you’re afraid to let go of your current position and move onto something better. You’re in fear that there’s a possible chance that you won’t be able to move forward and instead proceed backwards. This can also be your mind trying to promote you to do well. You’re probably scared that you’ll be bad at your job and that you’re going to get fired. Also this is in relation to being insecure, in a sense of how you’re doing and your current position in life.
But in these situations the best thing to do is to move forward. Even though it may seem that your life is not at where you want, you have the ability to change it. Change will always be for the better.
Hi I had a dream that I was told off by my current manager and got fired. Where actually I haven’t and good at my job. I’m currently on my spiritual path
As you slept, you found yourself in a vivid, imaginative, and immersive dream world where you were being told off by your current manager and eventually fired. Even though you know you are good at your job and currently on your spiritual path, this dream still left you feeling uneasy.
This dream could be a reflection of your subconscious mind’s fears and worries about your current job and your spiritual path. Perhaps deep down, you are afraid that your job may interfere with your spiritual growth and that your manager may not understand or support your spiritual journey.
Getting fired in the dream may symbolize a fear of losing control or power over your own life. It may be a call to reassess your priorities and make sure that you are not neglecting your spiritual needs while also excelling at work.
I had a dream that I was fired from my job by an old employer/boss of mine. My husband was working at he same place as I was in the dream and he wasn’t fired.
You had a dream where you were fired from your job by an old employer or boss, while your husband remained employed at the same place. This dream may be symbolizing a feeling of inferiority or insecurity in your professional life, as you see your husband continuing to thrive while you are left behind.
The act of being fired represents a loss of power or control in your life, and may indicate a fear of failure or inadequacy. Your old employer/boss may represent a past experience or person that has caused you to feel this way.
It is important to reflect on any current or past professional situations that may be contributing to these feelings of insecurity. Perhaps there is a project or task at work that you feel you are not capable of completing, or a colleague who makes you feel inferior.
The fact that your husband was not fired in the dream may symbolize a sense of comparison or competition between you two. It is important to remember that everyone’s journey and career paths are different, and it is not fair to compare yourself to others. Instead, focus on your own personal growth and development in your professional life.
Hi
I would like an interpretation of my dream. I dreamt that I got retrenched at a company that I am working for 10 years. It confused me because I am not yet ready for being out of work. Part of me want to believe that this is a way for me to understand that opportunity for change glares me in the face and part me tells me that because I am not punctual this could be the consequences for my loss.
Your dream of being retrenched from your job after working there for 10 years may have been unsettling, but it holds a valuable message for you. Dreams of losing a job often symbolize a fear of losing one’s identity and security. You may have become comfortable with the routine and familiarity of your current job, and the thought of change may seem daunting. However, this dream may be encouraging you to embrace the opportunities that come with change.
Your interpretation of the dream as a consequence for not being punctual may also hold some truth. Your subconscious mind may be reminding you that being punctual and responsible is essential for maintaining a job. However, it is important not to dwell on this aspect and miss the bigger picture. The dream may be urging you to explore new possibilities and take risks.
Perhaps it is time to evaluate your career goals and aspirations. Do you see yourself growing and evolving in your current position, or is there a desire for something more? The dream may be encouraging you to take a closer look at your passions and skills, and consider if they align with your current job. If not, it may be time to explore other opportunities.
Remember, change can be daunting, but it is also an opportunity for growth and development. Instead of fearing the unknown, try to embrace it with an open mind and heart. Trust in yourself and your abilities to navigate through any challenges that may arise.
Dreams of a paycheck with the last paycheck amount and the word terminated next to it in red and then the number 7 before accepting the job offer
I was fired from 2 jobs. Each time my boss left a coat on the floor to tell me I was fired. The coat was laid out with the arms straight out. The coat was a dark color but the arms were blue. As soon as I saw the coat I became filled with dread but new at once it meant i was fired.
You found yourself in a dream world where you experienced the fear of losing your job. You were fired from two jobs, and in each instance, your boss left a coat on the floor to tell you the bad news. The coat was laid out with the arms straight out, and the arms were blue, while the rest of the coat was a dark color.
The coat in your dream could be a symbol of the authority that your boss had over you. It represents the power they have to make decisions that can impact your life. The arms of the coat being blue may signify that you were experiencing a sense of sadness and despair over losing your job.
This dream could be a reflection of your subconscious fears of losing your job or not being able to meet your boss’s expectations. It may be that you are feeling insecure about your job performance or feeling overwhelmed with your workload. The dream may be a signal for you to take a step back and evaluate your work life.
Dreamt head of HR came up to me with tears in her eyes. I shook my head and said no? She nodded. Walked me to a room handed me papers on write ups. There were two but one was about my kids and the other about being late. Then there were pages of dates and times that I arrived at work. The head of HR went to another room I followed her and started to ask if this was serious? 2 write ups over 20 years and then my director covered my mouth with his hand told me to be quite. And I woke up.
Thank you for your insight. I dreamed that someone at work that I really like had fired me and it felt really real. I remember the uncertainty of the moment weighing heavily on me to the point that nothing else mattered. Currently work is hard. Trying to meet a quota and i’m wrestling with what it will mean not to hit it.
I dreamt of getting fired from teaching. The woman firing me said we’d meet later with a woman we will call Ann Lee. I said am I getting fired and my boss said yes. That Ann and (another student I taught) referred me. She said a riddle they taught her that I forgot and was shocked I forgot. I’d been late the day before while I wandered around a city and lost track of time. Reality: I haven’t been doing a great job when evaluated. Maybe in general. I feel like I’m not “in” with my department. I have another debriefing with my boss about a bad observation. But I’m a tenured teacher and since nothing that bad. And I can’t ieave my job, much as I’d like.
i dream that my HR manager called me and inform that they are going to end my services or my employment
What is the meaning of a dream -getting fired from your job of 5 years?
So I’m currently working at staples and that store is going to close down soon but in my dream 2 co workers from my real job were in the dream but we were at a different location. I was helping a customer design a postboard but I guess it was all wrong in the dream and the co worker (supervisor) had fired me and I was begging her not to. She told me not to cry when we were behind the registers (I did anyways) and she was also crying because she had to let me go but she also told me that my best friend who was the 2nd co worker in my dream was a better worker than i was and then I woke up.
I was fired from an old job I had (I wasn’t originally fired from there) without warning and write-ups. It was a casual call saying that I was fired and I shouldn’t come back to work. I wasn’t told why I was being fired or what I did to cause myself to be fired. Over what seem like a couple days, I was frantic. I didn’t know how I was going to pay my bills or eat or anything. I went job searching and nothing went well. I got a call back from my original job and they told me I could come back and I did. I worked without standing out and just kept my head down. I asked the manager at the time that we needed to talk but he just brushed me off and then I woke up.
I actually just started in a new position at the same employer, doing something different, 2 weeks ago and last night I had a dream that I was fired.. really strange and kind of scary.
I had a dream my manager fired me but instead of telling me I was fired he wrote my letter of termination in a letter with a purple envelope and it was also ripped in half there were other things in there as well I also saw some sort if test I had to return….so does anyone know what it means?
I had a dream,where I’m walking on ice surface with some baggage along with two or three people.
I see myself sinking deep inside the water,and my other companions standing at the edge of the ice, I felt like when I stepped on ice surface,it broke and I fell inside.
Then I see myself running around people to explain that it was not my fault, but nobody was listening to me, instead they were listening to one person who I hate the most in real life. And finally they fire me off from the job.
I had a dream about being fired from my current job. It was two people in the dream that I didn’t know. The people were rearranging the office furniture and when I asked why my desk was moved. One of the females stated that I no longer worked there. I wasn’t upset, I just simply asked to speak with the supervisor who wasn’t in the dream. So, I walked outside to find the supervisor, it was my neighborhood but I didn’t recognize the homes.
I had a dream that I was at a previous employer and terminated from my position at my old job by my new supervisor. It was like an interview at a computer terminal that was going over the reasons of my termination.. some of the reasons for my termination caused me to try to justify why I was reacting that way I was just rushed through the termination process . During the process people kept interrupting a group even sat down to eat while I was being terminated. At the end of the dream someone actually walked up to the computer terminal and started reading the company’s reason for terminating me. I turned to the supervisor and asked why he was allowing that. He responded that just how things are done.
Dreamed I was late and I never am… Dreamed that my hands were completely full BC I had a lot of work and had not eaten… So I brought my lunch with me. A coworker helped me carry my stuff, then I couldn’t find him when I got to my desk and he shows up at my desk laughing with my half eaten burger. At this point I lost it and threw something at him because he always takes things too far… Then I got fired by his boss. I was so passed because I didn’t deserve that… Then I woke up
I had a dream that I was working. I am a server in a huge chain of restaurants. In the dream, I had very little to no energy, depressed, and my anxiety was high. I helped open when there were people outside waiting to come in. I sat my first table which included a family of four. After getting their drink order I was sat again with a family of six this time. I went to get the drinks for all ten guests and I was taking too long. The family of four stayed but the family of six left. Then I had a family of eight come in. Shortly they left cause I was taking too long. Finally my table of four left. Every single of them displeased and upset. Which they had every right to be. I went and told my manager. She got very upset and said, “Well, you know the rules. If the table leaves, so does that server. I hate to do this. You’re one of our best, but you’re fired.” I didn’t feel upset or sad. I felt happier, at ease. I woke up feeling great! Better than I have in a little while.
Thank good interpretation
I had a dream that I walked into work and you could just feel something was wrong. The admin kept pointing to her email, saying she couldn’t believe this was written. She then printed something out and handed it to me and said, how could you do something like this? Unsure of what the hell she was talking about, I looked down and it was an email I had sent regarding a question my boss was too busy to ask a company so I took it upon myself to ask. My boss then called me into her office and fired me and was extremely upset with me. It lingered on and I became more and more upset because I would never do such a thing I was being accused of. I was only trying to help. I began to cry and said I would never do anything to hurt the company and my boss started to feel bad and gave me back my position. After a meeting we had all been in, I told her I had to go because I had to go to a class at 3:30. (I haven’t been to college in over a few years.) She became upset that I had to go to class but I reassured her I could come back after if she needed me to. Before leaving she brought me to her office again to show me all of these statements on the company card that were made under my name. I had a reason for every single one and once saying what each transaction was, she started to remember the days I said we needed this and that. And then I woke up…
In my dream I got unfairly fired. In the dream I thought it was my boyfriend who got me fired as we have just gone on a week break last night the is one person that fired with me but I don’t know why in the dream everyone was told before we were that we got fired. I live where I work and my room has a balcony and someone smashed my sliding door with a brick in this dream, I was in a situation with another boy in this dream he was going to leave with me but I woke up before I found out what he did. after that I had a thing where I was being sick In my dream and struggling to breath
I dreamt I got fired and my friend at work knew I was going to get fired. Then I got a new job at the same place in a different department.
In my dream a head a job review where my older sister and work colleague were present. after the review there was a staff meeting downstairs but I was called upstairs to discuss my review. I was then accused of lying and giving the wrong information so i told them to call the college my sister had given as a refrence but then they accused me of giving the wrong name of my friend.
Next i saw my review on a TV screen along with my other colleagues. i turned around and shouted at my boss and scratched the mediator who turned out to be the assistant manager. i then walked out and only had a towel wrapped around me in the icy rain. i turned around and went to work to get my clothes. as i was getting dressed afew of my colleagues came to talk to me and say bye.
next i was talking to my manager telling him how i really felt. his flirtious ways, not knowing what he’s doing, asking me to take a job that he was now firing me from.
suddenly I woke up
I had a dream that I was at work, but nothing about the building was recognizable. I was with some coworkers and one of them was cutting my hair very slowly and taking many breaks to smoke. At one point a younger woman came to drop off a hand written email hard copy that was official and accused me of some wrongdoing but I couldn’t make out the words. I asked the woman cutting my hair what she thought and she said “oh that’s bad”. I then fled to another coworker to ask her to provide meaning, but she did the same: just told me it was bad news. I woke up with the most horrible feeling. My dreams frequently come true in months or even years and I sincerely hope this doesn’t. I hope it is just a stress dream.
My dream was that I was at work and my boss told me to just wait until there’s something to do.. he also gave the remark that I should get a whitening treatment for my teeth. I was so pissed at him, I thought it would be funny to do an office version of whitening. I took the nurses (in real life, we don’t have a nurse at work. I’m a secuirity agent for a town) post it’s (sticky paper) and turned them white. Then I got called over. Later on I asked my boss to go check my creation… as he did he screamed saying I violated a rule and that I’m probably fired. The big boss came over and screamed as well.. he brought me to his office and sang a song of how I’m fired. He explained what I did was not allowed in the rule book at work. I explained my side of the story… I remember crying but this is all I remember from my dream..
I work for a MAJOR retail company that every Canadian knows. The dream starts with the company asking everyone to make a plan for the company, what their next steps should be, where they can make opportunity and what they should keep afloat.
It all sounded fun and airy.. then they call all the employees to meet in head office in a major city and to bring their plans. It was kind of surreal because the building was very old and staircases were not making sense and there wa people coming from cracks in the walls.. so weird.
I get into the room finally and there are 3 people sitting at a table. So 3 employees go up with their plan and hand it over and are reviewed on the spot. He starts reading mine out loud and the lady beside me starts talking about me doing a bad job and not showing up. Instantly I’m offended and I’m like “yo, what are you talking about?” The next person over starts agreeing with her so I start getting super defensive and try to protect my hard work ethic.. all of a sudden one of the reviewers chimes in so I say something like “I expect this from them, but not you! You’re suppose to be there for me!” So dramatic haha… and some big head office guy puts his two cents in and apparently in my dream I did cocaine at a party with this guy so I bring that up and strut out of the room cause I know that’s the last straw.
All of a sudden I’m in a stairwell and I am running like a mad man with my friend because we are being chased by every employee… it reminded me of the matrix when all the agents just keep coming and coming..:
We make it out alive and my friend tells me Brad Pitt past away today and I start to cry… haha.
My dream was basically this, I was working as a removalist with a group of people, roughly all early twenties. As we were about to head off after loading up our truck, I was told that I was fired due to me panicking under stress. I got into an argument with one of them and they all drove away. I chased after the truck, quite childishly as I was quite upset. I eventually found the truck completely empty and for some reason this told me that they had all died. Very curious as to what this means
Goodmorning…I keep having the same reoccurring dream that I’m being fired from my current job…Same 2 people are behind it
My husband & I both had a dream that I was fired from my job. My husbands dream was pretty straight forward but my dream was more detailed. I had been taking over for another supervisor while they were on vacation & had to do some reports but when I came to work the next day my boss called me into her office & said I messed up all the reports & they need to let me go. What could this mean? I’m bothered by it since my husband had a dream the same night as I did.
In the dream it’s like I was employed to drive cross boarder trucks. It happened that I passed through my relative ‘s place. While I had packed on the road a minor accident happened that was reported to my boss who decided to send my dismissal package in a brown envelop with another driver who took the truck back to South Africa from Zimbabwe.
I got fired from my old job after dreaming I was going to get fired. Now I have a new job i have only been working a month. Last night I had a dream i was fired from my new job. What does this mean?
I had a dream the other night that I was an hour late for work because I got my schedule mixed up and then my kids wouldn’t let go of my legs…. In the dream when I got to work, I was feeling really overwhelmed and like I couldn’t do anything right. I got a lecture about being late and was told that my reasoning for being late was unacceptable. I knew I had always been 20 min early to work and even so I was feeling like I couldn’t do anything right. The boss continued to criticize my work performance and while I was signing into work I mumbled, if I’m such a bad worker than why am I even here? then The boss must have heard me so he turned around and said, We can’t have people who have no P.R.I.D.E in the workplace here you are fired!. I was shocked and scared. I was pregnant and loved my job and had so much going on at home that the idea of having no job to escape to was terrifying. I begged for my job back but the boss and all my co-workers turned their backs on me and totally ignored my. I burst into tears and…. then I woke up sobbing my eyes out because the dream felt real….
backstory. I work at a jewellery store and love my job. I have a great boss who is really understanding and really good work mates. I am pregnant with my third child, my eldest may be autistic (still waiting for the assessment results) I’m engaged to be maried next year, saving up for a house, my partner is studdying and working and we are also renovating his apartment to try and get it rented out…. I have a shared care arangement with my ex for our children as well so I live a very complicated and busy life……..
do you think my dream means that i need to drop somthing to reduce my stress levels or something???
This was very accurate and insightful! I am definitely at this place in life.
In my dream, I slept in late till about 4 in the afternoon, while I was due at 11 (I have NEVER been late for work, missed a day, etc.), and then I was fired. Then, because I couldn’t go to work anymore, I went to see a low-budget musical of all the Disney movies mashed together…
I also had another dream that I woke up at a house that wasn’t even mine, and I an hour late for work. I played on this Nintendo Gamecube instead of getting ready for work, and then I finally got ready for work. My car broke down, so I had to walk on foot. Then, Harry Potter was in my dream, and I stole his broom so I could use it to fly there. I was also somehow in Detroit. Just as I arrived, I realized I forgot to put on pants, and my manager fired me right on the spot.
I had a dream where I was on my phone and the boss came by and said you’re fired so is that the same
I hard a dream that my husband was sacked from working place.Please what is the mean.
My dream was so horrible. I work at a daycare, but the plot was not even there. Kids weren’t around or other people i worked with except my manager. What was really weird was that jacky from the basketball wives was there with a computer. I was given the task to welcome people in and sit them down because we had an event of feeding people. All i remember is sitting at a corner and using my phone which would be out of the normal of what i do in real life at work! After the event was over, my manager approaches me and starts yelling at me saying “you should start finding anither job”. I became defensive and said things like “i wasnt trained right” or “i did what i had to do. It slowly became a fiesty argument with my manager because she later started calling me a liar and Lso claimed thAt i didnt even care about the situation. I started to hysterically cry and she would be like “why are you crying!!!??” And i told her how much i cared about this job and how kuch i lived it more than anything. All she said was “sucks”. And the dream ended. In real life, my manager would never talk to me this way. She’s actually very nice and is liked by every worker so it is very weird she came off in my dream as a bitch. There has also been a new girl who uses her phone and doesnt collaborate with me at work. Could this mean SHE is getting fired and not me?
I work at menards as a cashier. I was checking a customer out with his items,when I noticed I wasn’t wearing pants. Just my pink thong. all of a sudden once I noticed everyone noticed. I ended up getting fired by a manager I hate at my work, who doesn’t work there anymore (thank god). After walking out to my car, I saw some kids (all boys)on a school bus who said they took my pants when I went to kwik trip(gas station) on my break. I then tryed going back into menards with a boy who said he’d tell them it was only a prank and ended up talking to a different head manager. She said she wouldn’t take me back,because I broke the policy rules. then my dream ended.
I had bad dream early in the morning at 4am, that company given termination letter and am shifting my family.
Q: is whether good in future or bad
I hard a dream that my husband was sacked from working place.Please what is the mean.
I dreamt I was working in a factory environment. The workplace was very clean and high-tec. My old pal from secretarial college days, was working at the same table as me and a couple other ladies. I suddenly heard myself shouting my college friends name several times. Then she was unceremoniously carted off by two men. Then it was home time, and all the ladies hubbies were coming to pick them up in there cars. I noticed one of the cars had writing emblazoned across it. I got scared an jittery coz I thought it might be a taxi – because I’ve a taxi phobia. And I not really any good at small talk, and can’t abide forcing myself to be amiable.
Last thing, the factory was on some sort of modern housing estate. The houses looked like they were made of fake light beige Cotswold stone. I looked at the estate houses and felt like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show.
Oh, and there was a demon on the work tv in the canteen making faces at me. I kept making faces back. To all extant an purposes the demon looked like a normal human woman, but her face would keep shifting. I was the only one that noticed what she was doing.
My place of work has always been a safe place for me for over a decade, so when i dreamed that i was fired it gave me quite unsettled feelings. In my dream i proceeded to try and take my life after losing my job the one place i felt safe. My place of work is very important to me and has dear meomories. This dream has made me feel very on edge. What does it mean?
I entered a room where a man was seated shuffling cards. He smiled at me and offered me a seat. He said he wanted to teach me how to shuffle cards correctly. The man was someone I had never seen before, but friendly. I watched politely, thanked him and said that I better get to work. I headed into another room and my my boss approached me and said that I’d be sitting in the last room at the end of the corridor where the low performers were working. He added that if I didn’t improve this day, I would be fired. (This was not my job in real life). In my dream, this was only a second job that I didn’t like anyway–it was telemarketing. In fact, I was a bit relieved that I would lose this job, but my sense of pride was wounded. Then that part of the dream faded and I saw my ex breaking my belongings that my fiance and I just bought together. I became angry and made some type of threat and my dream ended right there.
I dreamt I was fired for a customer complaint, but I did my job correctly, the manager did not care that I was right or not, just that the customer was not happy, I tried to make sense of the complaint and looked for proof that I did my job according to procedure. Was fired nonetheless. On way home i met a group of elderly women whom were strangers to me and told me about a job, but never was able to grasp where it was..the whole dream was very frustrating.
I had a dream that a coworker came to tell me that I’m about to get fired by the managers because I’m not doing a good enough job I’m not fast enough ..so I went out and demanded the managers to tell me right there and then to let me know what’s going on . In my dream they were both sweeping the floor and were ignoring me when I asked them if they had something to tell me ..then I woke up.
Morning. Dreamt i got a job at stop and shop (supermarket). 3 friends were also working there, but it was their day off. It was my first day and they came there and took me into a room like a lounge and we were watching TV and basically relaxing and i was not doing my job. I remember saying to them “hey guys I need to scan this stuff in,” but they just ignored what I was saying. One of the friends was normally a very responsible person. Eventually the boss came in and caught us and said all 4 of us were fired. no one was phased except me. Thing about it is i had decided at the beginning of the shift that i was going to quit so it was relief in a way.
Hello. I had a dream that me and two of my coworkers were fired. The director was not sympathetic but we were all give, heavy silver colored necklaces upon departure for the vacation time we lost. I was happy about being fired.
Hi, I had a dream that my colleague at work told me he heard the rumor that I’m going to get fired from work.
Hi there I had this dream,About my exemployee fired my for a simple mistake.
I had a dream that I went back to the job that fired me. In the beginning I was uncertain which part of the job I was assigned to airwatch which is responsible for making sure the air doesn’t run out of the bottles because the tankerman (Guy in charge of loading or unloading oil or chemicals on a barge) will air if any of vapors from the hazardous chemicals or released or an in case of an emergency exit is needed. But I ended up being the tankerman on the job loading chemicals. A familiar Co worker was at the job also doubled up on an opposite barge. I was starting the job but I didn’t have my flashlight to look inside the tanks at the the liquid levels. When I got fired I turned in my life vest an didn’t realize to afterwards that I left my flashlight attached. So then my girlfriend told me to ask someone for one. That’s where the dream ended.
i just had a dream being fired on the spot by a power tripping boss for no reason, and i was crying in my dream,the truth is i lost a good job a month ago,i was given no reason at all,and have been sad and depressed ever since,to the point i am crying in my dreams being fired,why are my dreams making me feel bad,sad and empty,why do dreams bring back bad memories?
I dreamt my boss telling me that due to the economic situation in the country he has no option than to fire me. I told him that he should give me about 3 months to resign on my own but he refused and i asked him why am i being fired when we still currently employing people and he was silent. At this point i threatened to take the matter to the GMD and then i woke up and started praying over it.
What does it mean when you dream that your boss gets fired?
I had a dream last night that I was very upset with my employer and called him a “b**ch.” I never would speak this way to an employer ever, but in my dream I was beyond upset–In this situation I do recall him being just as rude back. He called me back into his office and asked for me to shut the door as he reached for a folder which contained a termination letter for me to sign. I signed the letter, but I do also remember feeling a sense of still being at my job after already being fired–as if I was lingering around. What does this dream mean? I felt a little uneasy as to whether or not this was a sign or simply just a dream.
I constantly dream that I am back at my old job. And that I either get sacked, or I quit. Every time. I have this dream at least once a week. But never the same story.
I dreamt that I got fired from my job and one of the supervisors that I don’t really get along with had something to do with it…..the couldn’t tell me what I did to get fired and everyone kept quiet and she was the one that stood out.
I was firrd from a job for stealing. But when we reviewed the tape I stole nothing. They still walked me out the door. On the way out I began to hug all of the older women I knew in the dream. There was only one person in the drram that I felt I know in real life. They served as a coworker.
I just woke up from a dream where a coworker came to tell me in the middle of a task I was doing that my boss had asked through HR that I take an early dismissal. I called my boss who confirmed I was getting fired. I sobbed over the phone telling my boss how I don’t understand and how I loved the project I was working on and had no other way to support myself. My boss said if I found another job I could continue to support myself. I continued to sob and explain to my boss that I really liked my research project and although some results had not turned out right because of instrumentation issues, I diligently did my best. There was a long silence on the other side of the phone. As I continued to sob, I ran into a person I never met before who told me that if courts found anything personal that my boss was holding against me I had grounds to file wrongly termination.
I wad quite relieved to wake up and find it was only a dream. In real life, I have been at my research job for a little over a year. At first my boss was very supportive and patient in my learning curve as this line of work and skill sets I explained were new to me. He used to say I’m a fast learner and I feel I am learning even faster now. However in the past 3 or 4 months he’s been micromanaging everything I do or say in write in email. He even started questioning results he had praised me on six months ago saying now they have to be repeated. On Christmas eve while everyone else was allowed to leave early, he made me stay late to complete a task that couldn’t realistically be well done in one day but then decided to blame me and my techniques for the results that turned out to be inconclusive. I don’t feel as valued by my boss as I used to be. I have presented my work to colleagues who say how much hard work I put into it and how interesting they think my work is, which I agree but my boss acts like he doesn’t trust anything I do anymore. The employee in my dream who notified me that my boss wanted me to get early dismissal used to be a coworker of mine at a former job and he’s the one that had highly recommended me to the current. This employee joined the lab 3 months ago which coincides with the time my boss has started to micromanage me. This employee might have a romantic interest in me and is very kind to me.
I think in six more months I can complete the skills I need to be even more in demand in my field but is my dream giving me strong warning signs to find a new job ASAP?
Thanks for your interpretation
I dreamed that I feel asleep at work and when I opened my eyes 2 guys were waiting to escort me out of the building. I said them, “I’m fired, right”. They only nodded yes… Then I immediately thought of my finances….
Kris,
The dream means working for money is not the means to an end. In addition falling asleep on the job indicates boredom. It is time to plan on a new career where your passion applies. Money is not everything.
I dream i was fire from job and that what your dream meaning it true i need change in my life but afaird do to my axiety
Lawrence,
Often times, it is better to focus on establishing better habits for career advancement and self improvement than worrying about your job. Changing jobs is a part of life, treat it as such and grow from it.
My boyfriend dreamt that I was fired from my job and started working a new one. I don’t want to get fired from my current one I’ve only started working for about a month. What does this imply?
Kay,
Your boyfriend’s dream indicates that your skill set will carry you far. He’s not even worried about your lack of employment. You can easily find a new job immediately after leaving a job as if you were changing into the new shirt each day.
My sister told me she had a dream about me quitting or getting fired from my job. Does this dream have anything to do with me?
Kedesha,
Do you dream of yourself quitting your job to pursue something more meaningful? If you do, then your sister’s dream is implying that she and family members are supportive of your decisions.
I rarely remember dreams but this one was quite vivid. I am a teacher. I have only taught at one school for 16 years but in different roles; 5th, 1st, gifted and now special education. The school is in a large district where transfers are common. I love our vice-principal but am uncomfortable around my principal. School starts in 4 weeks. We are at a staff meeting and the principal is giving assignments. She hands me a card explaining a situation that involved me gossiping as my reason for termination. I am the Union delegate at my school so I know this is not possible but she I woke up, my hurt is just pounding and I am nervous.
Rebecca,
It may be a good idea to review the teachers union termination rules based on gossiping. Your fear of being fired from your job may be unfounded because of your extensive knowledge as union delegate, and you have done nothing wrong to warrant such a dream. The union will fight for you while principal stands to lose more against the union.
I just had a dream that I was “LET GO” at my job that is known for firing people and I love working there. In my dream I took an hour plus of “break time” something I never do, and came back. My coworkers knew something was up but didn’t say anything. I already knew I was going to be let go. I get to my area and my supervisor was there and two other people. The HR person was not there. I smiled nervously and my supervisor shook her head letting me know that it was ok. Then they told me, almost remorsely I was being “LET GO” I was shocked, then started crying hysterically and saying ” I told you, to give me a heads up, this isn’t fair!” and I woke up, shocked.
HKMar,
The dream indicates your anxiety over the job’s stability due to job politics rather than merit. Of course it is not fair if you work hard everyday, and still fear getting fired from the job you love for no reason. However, it is more important to leave the office politics to others, and continue working hard without worries because the on the job skills you learn is more valuable than the fear of getting fired.
Maybe this post is old but I will reply anyways as I stumbled upon this and liked what I read. But I am not sure if this is the case for me. I had a dream last night about that I got fired from my current job. The thing is that I just got the job in real life, and I love it! I AM afraid of under performing as I am a little of a perfectionist. I am also afraid that my boss will think that I am working too slow. I haven’t gotten any bad feedback, only good things right now. And I am learning so much, but still, I feel this nervousness and therefore this dream I guess? But how to move on from this? Again, I LOVE my current job, my tasks and the people. Everything is amazing. But why is this dream?
Thank you,
Jimi
Jimi,
What you are dreaming about is perfectly normal. You are worried about your performance because you are over analyzing the positive feedback from your supervisor or peers. You value your job, and you don’t want any sudden changes. At this point, do not listen to your dream, where fear can paralyze your work performance.
Continue to push forward, learn as much as you can, and make yourself indispensable, and much more competent than when you first started.
Thank you so much! This makes sense and I really appreciate your reply.
Jimi
I was let go due to speaking up on work assignments and knew the new director was reorging his dept so that didn’t. A few days after being let go, I had a dream of me picking up my last items at work and bumped into directors secretary and she said she might be next. Also saw new young staff looking very lost. The lights went out for few minutes while I was there. I then grabbed my things and left. What does this mean?
Kim,
You still long for familiarity of the old job to see how everything is transitioning without you, while knowingly you have already moved on because at the end you grabbed your things and left. That’s the main point of the dream as you have put closure into leaving that job.
I had a dream my Zumba instructor sacked me after loosing a dance off very weird
Georgie,
You know what they say, work is like a contest. You want to be winner every time as that is how you get the raises and recognition. Your dream is trying to say that no one is perfect, and the worst that can happen is that you get sacked. Then you move on to the next dance off or job.
I had a dream about getting fired. It involved HR and my boss. They pulled out 8 boxes of things I have done wrong. It was some as simple as doodle on paper, which they said was stealing company products. I also had some big things. Mind you have been in trouble for anything. My overall sense in the dream was anger.
Monica,
You may feel that they are nitpicking at your smaller faults, while you are not getting recognition for your bigger contributions. In all honesty, this may not be the right company or group that you necessarily want to commit yourself to if you already see that they are not able to see the true value of what you bring to the team.
Before i went to sleep last night, I placed 4 amethysts on my night stand next to my bed. The dream i then had consisted of me starting a job at tj maxx (a retail store) in which i was starting around 4 pm. i got there and began my training, pretty basic stuff, but then in my dream i remembered in reality i actually work at wawa & i was supposed to be in at 10:15. I started getting confused. I then knew i would get fired and didn’t bother to show up. instead i jumped from a random roof like nightcrawler and broke into my friends house to have breakfast with her.
Darwin,
Even though you are getting fired from your job in the dream, you end up meeting your friend for breakfast. It shows that you know that a job does not define who you are, or your self worth. That’s great self awareness.
In my dream a coworker told me I was going to be fired. In real life, I just received an award at work for a project I worked on with others, so go figure. I actually feel very secure at work, but would like to move on to a new job so maybe that’s what the dream is about. and although I can be rational about the dream, it has really bugged me.
Jett,
Your dream is helping you rationalize in pursuing a new job even though you are doing well in your real life job. You are trying your hardest to find fault at your real life job to give yourself an easy way out.
Why not refocus on what’s good about your current job, and still look for a new job. Every one wins when you are able to transition out on high note.
I had a dream that my job fired me. In my dream I received a phone call from a former coworker telling me the memo hasn’t dropped yet but the job is letting me go. I have not been in trouble with my job, it’s a civil servant position meaning I really have to do some crazy stuff to get fired. I am currently studying for a promotion test.
Faith,
Your dream is providing you reason to procrastinate on your studying of the promotion test. DO NOT let your dream foil your progress because sometimes dreams are always about how to take the easy way out. Why would anyone want to study if they are already dreaming of getting fired.
Focus on the positives. Dream about how you will spend the increased disposable income after your promotion.
Had a dream of been fired last night, and trying to get a position in another department, where they decide to put me is not where i wanted to be, so i was worried, trying to secure a place in that particular department i want to be.
I had similar dream, please tell me what happen in real
thank you
Lara,
Change always bring on dreams whether negative or positive. Your dream is trying its best to address all the what if scenarios. What if you don’t fit into your new role, will you be fired? What if you succeed, will you be promoted? Start thinking more positively, and your dreams will changes towards more positive outcomes.
I keep having dreams of getting fired over stupid stuff. I hear from my co-workers I’m doing very well though. Where I’m working is at my old private school so some of them are my old teachers from back in the day. I’m 21 now. If they keep telling me that I’m doing well and I am, then why these dreams? Please help.
Ebasha,
Your dreams may still be reminiscing of your younger self as a trouble maker, and don’t know that you have grown out of your trouble making youth. It may be just a warning for you take your job seriously, and try making a career out of it.
I dreamed being fired last night. The position did not looks like my current job, just received a notice about terminating the contract. Let’s see how close situation moves around your suggestions.
I dreamed the same thing last night!
Sergio,
Your dream of terminating a contract may be a sign to free you from your responsibilities, while allowing you to seek out a new job that is more fulfilling.
