My dream last night was about leaving a job for another one. In my dream, I found out that I passed the finals to become a teacher. I was wondering why I finished the course so fast, but I was glad. The person who was handling the exams showed me my grades and I was satisfied.
I told my manager my plans of changing jobs. Although she was happy for me, she seemed irked and led her anxious for me to leave. She was very happy that I did a good job and that many employess were able to benefit from what I have contributed to the department. As she was telling me about my accomplishments, I opened the filing cabinet where I have my personal files kept, like job procedures and manuals, but it was almost empty. My stuff were almost gone from the cabinet. She was also going through the new employees with me to let me know that these employees learned a lot from my procedures. In those that my manager introduced to me, there was a child-like little person among them. He was sort of bratty and ostentatious to the hilt. In my dream, there was an employee who gave me a corset for a going away present. It did not look like a regular corset, but in my mind it was. My manager showed me how to wear it. I was naive on how to wear it with all those tapes attached to the corset. My manager was sort of ticked off with me and blurted out that that was the difference between me and her. She said that she could wear the corset better than I do. I just let what she said slide and my attention suddenly was focused on this child-like person trying to either fax or xerox something. He was wearing a sign that said: "I am grumpy right now, so don't talk to me." It was rather funny to me to see a sign hanging on him, but my manager said to let him be. That's his way of trying to get attention.
Anyway, in my dream, I was somewhat worried that I did not time it right to tell my manager about this job change. That I should have waited because I was not sure when I was going to start with the teaching job. Somehow I tried to convince myself that it would maybe take a month, and I have enough savings to last longer than a month. It would also give me a chance to do the things I could not do when I was working.
In this dream, I felt the following emotions: happiness, gladness and sadness. I was stunned, I wondered a lot, I was humored and I was worried. How this apply in my life is not clear to me right now. Although, my son is looking in the future to become a teacher. He took a short course to get a certification and he said he passed it. He took his final exam and he believed that he passed it with flying colors. So my dream may likely be concerning my son's future endeavor. In the back of my mind, I am somehow worried that he may make a decision to quit his present job without making sure that his new job would pay enough to cover his monthly expenses, including a house mortgage.
So, I am hoping that this anxiousness in my heart about my son's pending job change has no basis at all and that my son is relying and trusting God that He will direct his path. All I can do is pray for him that he will always have the smarts to make the right decisions.
