THE DREAM ZONE |
with Lauri Quinn Loewenberg I have this recurring dream where I have to work one more day in the store I worked at for 15 years. When I go in to work I can never find my locker in our employee room and I either have to work at the service desk or on the sales floor. If I have to work at the service desk there is always a long line and I don't know how to run the registers because all the procedures have changed. If I have to work on the sales floor it is always a mess with clothes everywhere. Susan, 40 Boston, MA Lauri: Can you say "job stress"? Even though you have moved into a different field of work, retail has become your personal recurring symbol for stress on the job. You get this dream whenever you are feeling unprepared in real life, or when things seem to pile up on you, or even when you fear you are not progressing in work. Even though you have left retail far behind you, stress is something that never seems to go away. Just look at it this way: If your job—or life, for that matter—weren't full of challenges, how boring would that be? Susan replies: I have been wondering for so long why I keep having this dream. It must explain why I have had the dream when I have been concerned about personal finances or when I have been concerned about my status at my current job. Fascinating Dream Fact: Did you know that Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" was derived from one of his nightmares? Lauri Quinn Loewenberg's website is thedreamzone.com |
ARIES
(March 20-April 20)
Many of you little rams may have heard from the tax man, and others may be settling insurance disputes. Jupiter is bringing you opportunity from other people. Half the planets are in Scorpio, and it is rare indeed to see this many of them in one sign for such a long time. Remain focused later this month when the planets begin to move into your sister fire sign, Sag. Mercury moves direct a week from Friday, and its retrograde motion is already slowing this week. Get ready to launch new projects. Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, falls on Saturday, although the official observance is Friday. Today and Friday are great days for fishing while the moon is in water sign Cancer. Planting, too. Unexpected news and secrets could be revealed Monday. Keep your ears perked, because your co-workers may be detailing and analyzing their daily chores while the moon is in Virgo.
