does anyone have lucid dreams about working? maybe its a new hire thing but ever since i’ve become good at learning bar i have dreams where i think i’m still at work and it’s busy. i wake up moving my hands like im steaming milk and stuff and even started sleep walking a little. it’s weird because it’s like while dreaming i know i’m not there but i also really think i am. just wondering if anybody else experienced this or i’m just crazy haha

You’re not alone, I thought I was crazy too. I do the milk pouring motions in my sleep as well and also talk in my sleep very frequently.

I am with both of y’all . and I wasn’t sure if it was just me being obsessed over learning everything to the point where my brain literally never stops thinking about it . and I for sure sleep talk and my boyfriend one time was up playing video games and he legit heard me say “hot or iced?” In my sleep lmaooo

Omg when I first started working I used to be in drive thru through out my whole shift in my dreams I used to hear the ding and having like 1000 cars on drive and wake up paranoid about the times not being 42 seconds 😭😭😭

I have "dreams" right before I actually fall asleep of being at work and being confronted with a problem, usually a coworker bringing me aside to talk to a customer who has a weird/hard-to-fix problem. I always think to myself "wait... this is a dream. I'm not dealing with this if I don't have to lmfao" and jerk myself fully awake. It's been going on since I joined about 4 months ago lol

Oh gosh, this is exactly what happens to me too! I only started last week, but the nights after my first few shifts, I kept having weird, difficult problem situation “dreams” right as I was about to doze off, until I’d be like, wait, no. You’re in bed, not at work, stop it lmao

i joined 4 months ago too and the longer i stay and more i learn the dreams get more intense

Yup. I'm new. Had that dream last night. It is the sheer joy of being productive.

I'm sure if I were playing Minecraft for a living, I'd dream of punching trees.

At my first job out of high school (Tim Horton’s) this was super common for me, but they were mostly stress dreams. I didn’t like the job and my coworkers were bullies so I’d spend eight hours a day working a job I despised, and then I’d sleep for eight hours and dream about doing it all over again. It was the worst, felt like my entire life was just work and I couldn’t escape it until I quit.
Luckily, work stress dreams like that have happened less and less to me as I’ve gotten older - or, rather, the jobs I’ve had since have been so much more enjoyable that I don’t mind the work dreams. I’ve been at Starbucks for just under a week, and while I’ve already had a few aspects of work make their way into my dreams, I love the job so far and none of the dreams have been bad at all. I do find myself running through processes right as I’m about to fall asleep though - the first couple nights, my brain would be repeating the steps for making a latte whether I wanted it to or not, haha 😂
