I’m walking near my old college, aware I’m late for work. I meet an old friend who is now a lecturer. We chat briefly before I blurt out, 'I think I'm in the wrong job'. He doesn't reply. I apologise and rush off - I need to get to the office in time for a meeting. This dream came as a surprise as I’ve no plans to change my career and have great colleagues.

A dream brings something to our consciousness that we weren’t aware of, and this dream has surprised you. The drama revolves around what you blurted out from your unconscious: 'I think I’m in the wrong job'. You say you’ve no plans to change career, so in what sense could that 'wrong job' statement be telling the truth? You’re saying clearly that what you do is wrong.
