Ok so I haven't been having the greatest recall lately for various reasons, but my dream from last night I remembered very clearly when I woke up, and wondered all day whether it would turn out to be true.
First a little background. I started working in a three-month assignment at my company one year ago, October 26th, 2009. They let me go as scheduled on New Year's Eve, just at the three month mark. Then they called me back for a different position the first week in February, 2010, which I started on February 8th. This was again meant to be a three-month assignment, so I should have finished up on or around May 8th. Well, near the end of April (I guess) I was informed that I had at least until the end of May. When the end of May rolled around, I was told I had through July. At the end of July, we decided to just dispense with the termination dates, and just let me know two weeks in advance. And since then it's been that. I would know two weeks in advance. But recently, the date of October 29th was given to me as yet another possible/likely termination date for this three-month assignment. So that is the background for last night's dream.
In my dream, I was riding in the passenger's seat of my boss' car, and she was driving. Knowing full well that today was two weeks before the 29th, and having known all weekend that if she was going to let me go, she really had to say something today, I imagine I went to bed thinking to myself last night, "tomorrow's the day! Tomorrow I find out!" So we're sitting in the car, and in my dream it was today, because I said to her, "today is the day. you know. You have to give me my two weeks notice today" and she looks at me and shakes her head no and goes, "you're not leaving on the 29th".
The whole day pretty much came and went without hardly seeing her, but she swooped into my cube at ten minutes to five and whispered in my ear, "your last day is not October 31st". I am definitely still out of there, she was asked to make a plan to get me out, but it is not going to be in two weeks and my dream turned out to be right.
Now, I've had at least one other dream that I know of, it was a recurring one, that turned out to be prophetic, but this one was different. This one had me waking up going, "so strange! I had a dream that was wrong!" Because in my mind I had convinced myself that this time it was actually true, this time I really was going to be given my two weeks notice. I didn't see my boss all morning and all morning I was thinking to myself, that's so weird! I had a dream that is going to be wrong! I never suspected it was going to be right. I never expected her to say those words to me.
I have a newfound respect for the content of my dreams. I am glad I started making the effort at remembering them. I am glad to have remembered all I did about how you have to let the subconscious mind know it's important to you, know that it matters, and recording them is one way of getting that message across.
So I will pay even more attention and try even harder to remember them, and as boring and time-consuming as it may be, I think I will start recording the little snippets I remember as well, instead of dismissing them as too insignificant or (gasp!) too personal to place here.
There have been one or two that I kept to myself for that reason but even if I change the names or use code, I think I'm going to have to put it here, because I am impressed with this new tool and want to tune it up and see what it can do for me!
