Hi Ann—
It’s always a little strange when we dream about sex with a co-worker. Will we ever look at them in the same way? Does it mean we really are attracted to them, or they to us? And if we do admit to an attraction, isn’t this a dangerous blurring of boundaries in our professional workplace?
Sex in dreams rarely is a disguised symbol. Accordingly, if we dream of sex with a friend or acquaintance, we generally should remain open to the possibility that we find this person attractive, even if the dream, at first, takes us by surprise. Judging by your report, there are several reasons why you may currently find your boss attractive. You have recently developed a close working relationship, and enjoy the day-to-day interaction. Is it strange that your mind occasionally wonders “what if?”
Sex in dreams also can be a metaphor for “good chemistry.” For example, people who work together in the entertainment industry, who have to “come together” and “put on a good show” for an audience, frequently dream of sex with their co-workers, even when there really is no romantic interest. Is it possible your recent promotion -- reporting “directly to the boss” -- has placed your performance in a similar spotlight? (He approves of your work!)
Finally, your recent engagement is big news -- and is bound to cause some “wedding nerves.” Couples often dream of ex-lovers and other romantic liaisons upon becoming engaged. Does it mean they wish to go back in time, or cancel their plans for the future? Fortunately, the answer is neither. With the big day approaching, they are simply nervous about making the right decision.
Your boss may have qualities you find attractive (including power and money), but his wife’s presence throughout the dream (in the adjoining room) shows you clearly are aware of his unavailability. What’s the message of this dream? You’re getting married soon -- and you are fortunate to have a good relationship with your boss. The only person who can interfere with your future is -- yourself!
