weird dreams

[crudus]

Ok, so I have had a few reoccurring dreams. These dreams are sexual in nature and involve my coworkers and boss. Now I have had these dreams before but never with someone with authority over me. I feel very odd and awkward around her. Therefore, I come to the escapist for three things:

A. Ask if you have had any similar situations.
2. Ask for any advise you want to offer to make me feel less awkward about it. I can't really imagine her in her underwear to calm my nerves since that is sort of the problem.
C. Pray to the Goddess none of my coworkers frequent this forum.

Captcha: for ralthen. An interesting battle cry to say the least.

If you work at a gaming company, you might be screwed on Point C. Just saying.

Uhhh...no, this situation hasn't come up, and your description of the event seems a might bit vague for a comment beyond "Stiff upper lip, they can't prod your brain.". Try imagining them all in something that does NOT cause sexual tension, though, like Eskimo coats.

If it'll make you feel better; you're not me.

I tend to have recurring dreams that are a mix of my friends and my own created characters. I think my jaw dropped in my sleep when I found out two of my created characters were lovers and both are male. I happen to be a straight, married woman. When I created them, I put no thought into their sexuality, so I guess my imagination said we needed to fix THAT problem.

I used to have sexual dreams about co-workers before I met my husband; but I think the combination of that I love him to death and would never hurt him and the fact that, well, the people I work with now aren't attractive to me in the slightest, kinda killed all of those types of dreams.

Strangely though, I never put much thought into my dreams about my boss/co-workers. They were more amusing to me than worrisome. I guess it was because all those dreams had really bad set-up and the sole purpose of them was just to have an imaginary sexual encounter with someone/anyone that, in real life, is off limits. I shrugged them off because I have a high sex-drive and just took it as a sign that I was frustrated.

Unfortunately, I don't have any advice on how you can feel less awkward around your boss. I think on some level, we're meant to feel a little uncomfortable around people over us, just because they decide wheather we eat next week or not. I also don't know how closely you work with your boss or how professional your relationship is with her.

Do not feel like you are obligated to do this, but its the only help I have I can offer: Try working on creating a persona that is attracted only to men and only slip into that mindframe when you have to address her or be around her for any period of time. Hopefully after awhile, it should be easier to see her as just another person rather than be intimidated/attracted by her.
