WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Be Productive After Returning to the Office · 1 Nov 2021 podcast

And so I think a lot of this is about managers kind of rethinking their expectations and being realistic. matched

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Work Stress Invades Your Dreams · 22 Oct 2021 podcast

Thanks so much for having me. voice-verified

A lot of it is about our own insecurities, like places we think we're falling short. voice-verified

And I saw this from people in all sorts of jobs. voice-verified

I mean, I talked to a waitress who dreams about like dropping a tray or she'll dream about the one bottle of ketchup she forgot to bring to a table earlier in the day. voice-verified

She'll wake up shouting like ketchup to table 43. voice-verified

So it's just fascinating to me. voice-verified

We see it, like I said, in all kinds of careers, but so much of it is about like, I'm not good enough. voice-verified

You know, one expert told me that dreaming is kind of just thinking in a different brain state or brain space. voice-verified

I mean, the idea is that whatever is kind of bugging you during the day is going to show up in your dreams. voice-verified

And there's also evidence that we kind of process things. voice-verified

We kind of take some of the emotional sting out of events that happen during the day by dreaming about them at night. voice-verified

This stuff was so weird. voice-verified

I mean, the general idea is just more anxiety in our dreams, whether they're about work or not. voice-verified

But some of the work dreams, it's like you go back to the office and your company has installed a brand new carpet, but it is dirty and wet and they make you take off your shoes and walk across it. voice-verified

or all your coworkers are coughing on you, or your company has installed plexiglass, but instead of separating your desk, it is encircling everyone all together in this like diseased fest. voice-verified

So I mean, just like you can see people's anxiety about COVID, people's anxiety about things like job loss. voice-verified

You know, an expert told me that people were dreaming about like being laid off by their first boss at their teenage job. voice-verified

You know, like just all of this stuff kind of comes together in kind of nonsensical ways, but I think so much of it is about our fears and worries. voice-verified

I know. voice-verified
