I dream about work all the time. It's been 11 years since I had to quit and I still miss it.

Much of the time the dreams are quite pleasant, although they can get mixed up with other things (like trying to find a classroom at school).

I miss the hospital and the funeral home. My career in funeral service was short-lived but undoubtedly the most rewarding, which is probably why it dominates my dreams.

I don't know about you Doydie, but having been a caregiver as a career and as a mom I suspect losing that role prematurely or at the height of our career causes stress that borders on PTSD - hence our dreams.

Some of my dreams cause me to wake up laughing.
