Welcome to Gaia! ::

My bf works in a grocery store.

In the dream, one of the employees sees me, knows that my bf works there and cons me into running the till. I've never worked these tills before and felt I had made a couple of mistakes with codes and such, but the customers didn't seem to care. The couple of times that the boss walked by he didn't seem to notice that I wasn't an employee. Anyway, I was constantly trying to find the "till closed" sign through all this, and when I did I placed it on the belt and walked away.


What does it mean?

I have no real clue.

There may be something I am lacking in my life, possibly fullfillment or a need to be valued, and I have to consider re-evaluating my life, regain control or something along that line.

My bf though thought it was weird and funny. Then commented that his boss is pretty easy going and if it had been a real event would have pretty much reacted the same way.

I've been thinking about it a bit more. I wasn't looking for recognition, nor was I asking for help during this dream, and no one seemed to care that I wasn't an employee.

It was more about getting stuck doing something that I really didn't want to do, but did it anyway until I could find a way out.

Right now there are only a couple of things that I get suckered into.
Acting as my bf's chauffer. He doesn't have a licence, and quite often wants to go places I don't want to, but he needs a vehicle to get there. I usually get something in return though.

or

Due to varrious training sessions that have been taking place, causing some serious staffing shortages, I've had to go to work sick this week. Luckilly, it is probably the same cold that others (staff and residents) in the group home have, but man do I want my bed when I get home.

Hmm, well I could be wrong, but what I got from the dream was maybe a sense of unfamiliarity. Maybe it represents something in your life that is new and maybe not entirely welcome, such as new guidelines, or a change in the normal way that things are done. Work, like the grocery store, is a familiar place to you, but you are doing something that is not entirely familiar to you. However you have the trust and support of those around you that you will pick up on it just fine. They know you're making mistakes but they only notice your effort, your willingness to try something completely new.

heheh I have some cashier experience from small convenience stores, but have never had any interest in working in a department or grocery store bigger than the average size house. Feel they are too inpersonal, repetative and don't give enough time to chat or get to know regular customers.

But if this were a RL event, I would be in the same vote. The till wouldn't be a problem, just a matter of knowing which buttons to press. But learning the codes and running the conveyor belt would be a bit more challenging, until I got use to them.

lol

It definatly plays a huge part in our lives, so it will come up in many, many dreams. Our subconscious tends to use those things it is familiar with when trying to get its point across
