Hello. I have been having all these weird dreams about two of my co-workers and me. Let's name them jack and rose. In one of my dream jack and I are going out, but then rose comes in to the picture and jack decides to leave me for her. In my second dream, jack and rose are together. While rose takes some time of me and jack become really close. And at some point I become the other woman. The thing is, I don't see my co-workers like this. And as a matter of fact there cannot be relationships in he workplace. It's weird because I don't like jack. All my coworkers and I have an okay relationship. Were not friends, just coworkers. And I wouldn't mind these dreams, but they have been influencing how I work with them. I talk less to them, I don't hang of with them during break, etc. What can I do? What do these dreams mean?
You're not allowed relationships in the workplace, so it's kind of a taboo. Any idea of a relationship is pushed down and repressed into your mind because you're not supposed to have it. These, I'm guessing, are people you see all the time, maybe even daily. It's realistic that they would appear on your dreams because they're a common and recurring visual memory for you. Your mind combines the repressed 'taboo' like relationships in the work place with people you see from the workplace quite often and creates a love triangle.
But that's just one interpretation. Maybe you do have a thing for Jack or Rose, or maybe you've noticed something going on between the two of them? Or maybe you're just imagining having a more personal relationship with your coworkers. Not necessarily romantic relationships, but friendships.
I know it seems weird, but you just have to remind yourself that they are dreams. They're not reality, they're just figments of your imagination. Just try not to think about it too much when you see them and eventually you'll stop dreaming and forget the dreams altogether. Why not try to be friends with them instead of just coworkers? Invite them out for drinks after work or something like that. The mind is a funny thing, but don't let it get to you so much. I usually just laugh at my ridiculous dreams and continue with my day.
