The last few nights I've had bizarre dreams. One night, there was an infestation of cockroaches everywhere.... which then turned into a swarm of bees. Then last night I was swimming far out in the ocean and suddenly became surrounded by sharks.

It's easy enough to tell what this may be about. It certainly reflects my work life perfectly.

I am being stung and shot down at work. I am surrounded by cockroaches and bees. It's very toxic.

It's disturbing to me that what is happening in my work environment is impacting my dream world.

It's normal that your day is in your dreams, in some form. I hope your days become less upsetting

Thank you, @SorryShaped! Hugs. Yes I suppose it really does make sense.

Dreams are sometimes how we process what went on in the past or during the day. Try to think of these dreams as helpful. They might eventually give you an answer to your problem. Sorry that you have to work in a toxic environment.
Thanks for this!

I’ve experienced weird dreams when I’m having a lot of work stress. I agree that our mind processes our stresses as we sleep. I hope things get better for you and the weird dreams go away soon.
Thanks for this!

The bees are symbolic of your work (working for your boss - queen bee). Cockroaches dwell in the dark corners (shadow) that could be reflecting your thoughts or the situation. Maybe you can change the way you think at work to not let them get to you; or start applying for another job. Good luck it will all work out!

Thanks for the interpretation! Things have gotten better lately but I’m still looking.
