Trying To Get My Supervisor To Let Me Try Different Jobs

I did not record most of my dreams, and so now I can only barely remember part of the end of my last dream.

This dream took place inside maybe an office-like building where I was working, I possibly had a fictional business / banking / finance-like job, but I am not sure.

At some point in the dream I was sitting near my fictional female supervisor or boss or manager who was a woman with light-color skin with long brown hair wearing a women’s business suit with dress skirt, a male coworker with light-color skin, that male coworker’s supervisor who was also a man with light-color skin, and possibly one or more fictional coworkers.

We were taking a break or something, so people were talking, and I remember my male coworker asking his supervisor if he could switch jobs.

His supervisor probably said no, I then asked my supervisor if I could try some other jobs while still keeping the one that I got so that I could see which I might like better while also gaining some new skills et cetera, but she said no without even listening really.

I tried to make my case but she kept shooting it down without listening really, she wanted me only at my current job, and that was the end of that in her mind.

I tried to be assertive and I tried to remind her of what I had accomplished so far and how I was a good employee but it was not working because she was completely dismissive (she literally waved away my ideas with her hand each time while looking away not facing me while drinking something, and she did not care at all), she was starting to get annoyed, and she probably came close to threatening me but I stopped when I sensed the danger.

I was disappointed that she would not even listen or even consider my idea, it was not like I would not still be doing my current job, and so she had nothing to lose.

I also felt almost like she did not think that I was capable of handling those other jobs or something, I found this to be insulting or whatever, I felt that I was capable of at least trying them.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

Sparring With An United States Marine

I could not sleep for most of last night so I barely got any sleep last night, I did not voice record my dreams during this time, and so now I can barely remember part of my last dream.

All that I can remember of this dream from last night is that it took place during the day, and I was riding in an automobile through a fictional city with my parent’s and my mom was driving.

As we were driving I probably realized that I needed to go to work, and so I asked my mom to drop me off at work because I would not have time to return to get my automobile.

My mom told me that she needed to go to a doctor’s appointment after dropping me off, and so she was not sure if she would be able to pick me up from work later but she would call me later to let me know if she will be able to pick me up from work or not.

As we drove to where I work I remember seeing a television military recruitment commercial for probably The United States Military (Armed Forces), probably The United States Marine Corps, and the television commercial showed some soldiers (marines) in civilian clothing sometimes in their civilian lives and then it would sometimes jump to showing them in their military uniforms (combat, dress, et cetera) in their military lives and I also saw scenes of them doing mêlée combat training with rifles with bayonets et cetera.

After the television commercial I probably saw several soldiers (marines) outside as we drove by, they were probably exercising and / or training or something like that, and then we reached the parking lot of the fictional place where I worked which looked like a one-story school-like office building next to a small field and park-like area.

My parent’s dropped me off and I said goodbye, they drove off, and the dream jumped in time to where I was leaving work now.

My mom must have not been able to pick me up because I started walking home, and during my walk I saw a man with dark-color skin with short black hair playing soccer while holding a baseball bat who seemed to be a soldier (marine) so I stopped to talk to him because I wanted to tell him about some of the mêlée combat that I saw in that television commercial and I was curious about sparring to see how well I do against a trained soldier (marine) in mêlée combat.

I greeted the man and we started to talk, he was possibly from Africa (African) and possibly had immigrated to The United States but I can not remember, and I was correct about him being a soldier and he told me that he was in The United States Marines Corps.

I told him that one of the reasons (there were several reasons) that I assumed that he was a soldier was because of how he was holding the baseball bat, and I told him about the television commercial that I saw.

After that I asked him if we could have a friendly sparring match with baseball bats as our weapons in place of rifles with bayonets so that I could test my melee combat skills (untrained) against a United States marine, and he agreed.

We then had a quick friendly sparring match but I can not remember the match, it was fun though and he probably complimented my skills, and maybe we called it a draw but I can not remember.

I thanked him and we shook hands, he probably said that he hopes that we meet again for a rematch and / or to play some soccer and that he would teach me some combat skills that he learned, and I said that would be nice and that I hoped that we would meet again.

We said goodbye, and I continued walking but I woke up.

The end,
