I have not waited tables since 2009, however I still have server nightmares occasionally. I think most people in the service industry have them. They basically amount to a nightmare where you have too many tables, impossible demands and other terrible situations that only your subconscious could torture you with.
Well, I had one of those last night, but instead of stressing out and wondering how I could possibly deliver service to an entire restaurant without any help, I quit. And I left without any concerns about the tables and the orders they gave me. It was glorious.
Not once in the TWO DECADES I have been having these nightmares did it occur to my dream-self to do this. But after seeing the messages on this sub for several months, now even my subconscious knows its worth and I won't take abuse at work, whether in my waking or dreaming life.
