Do you have nightmares because of your job?

I remember when I had my first job-related nightmare in 2019. I was a senior in college and my boss was being a dick to me. I had a nightmare about an employee who died from s*icide that same night, by crashing their car out of rage, and how it made his family grieve. I haven't had a lot of nightmares since then. But I started having nightmares again these past few months because I was recently put on the PIP. I wouldn't say they've been particularly cruel to me, but my superior manager has been telling me that a few minor mistakes I make like forgetting to add one missable thing on paper is a big problem. It's made me overanalyze my action, other people's dispositions against me and in some instances I've overcorrected my behavior that it causes more problems. I keep having dreadful dreams about people talking…


I remember when I had my first job-related nightmare in 2019. I was a senior in college and my boss was being a dick to me.

I had a nightmare about an employee who died from s*icide that same night, by crashing their car out of rage, and how it made his family grieve.

I haven't had a lot of nightmares since then. But I started having nightmares again these past few months because I was recently put on the PIP.

I wouldn't say they've been particularly cruel to me, but my superior manager has been telling me that a few minor mistakes I make like forgetting to add one missable thing on paper is a big problem. It's made me overanalyze my action, other people's dispositions against me and in some instances I've overcorrected my behavior that it causes more problems.

I keep having dreadful dreams about people talking about me, typically my coworkers other superiors and HR, who get angry or pissed off because of something so minor. Sometimes it involves violence or death.

Tomorrow, PST we'll find out if I have passed or not.
