Some of you have heard of my issues at work with some of the characters I work with. It's got me pretty stressed out. We had a little "meeting" last week where he wanted to talk to me. One thing led to another and it led into a pretty heated discussion about our dislikes for each other. We walked away without slinging punches, but I'm beginning to question if this is repairable. Anyways, one of the things I confronted him with was his temper. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've witnessed him throwing temper tantrums in our office. He'll get off the phone and slam and throw things around. I hear him say things like "You mother-f*****! Mother-f*****! Mother-f*****!" on a regular basis. He swears strings of vulgar words that would make a sailor blush. I told him that type of behavior was unacceptable to me and that is would have to stop. That if it didn't I would make sure through other avenues it would. Well, it has stopped. Granted it's only been a week, but he's been very polite and friendly. But now I'm having nightmares about him. Since that discussion I've had four dreams.
1. We get into an arguement at the office. We're in my cubicle (which is pretty big) and his veins are popping out in his head. He's jabbing his finger into my chest and when I grab it and push it away, he comes after me. He isn't completely choking me, since I can scream out. But the other 8 people in the office can't hear me. I can hear them talking and laughing but they don't come to my help. I wake up.
2. I'm lying in my bed, in the middle of the night and I'm awakened by the sound of someone whistling. (R whistles a lot in the office.) The whistler is right below my window whistling "Aloha Oe" a traditional Hawaiian farewell song. I look out the blinds and R is right below my window walking away. I go out onto my front steps and his car drives by with some loud music basing out of it. That's the end.
3. The same dream as number two, but when I go out on my front steps he has turned his car lights towards my car and is slashing my tires. He sees me and starts walking towards me. I wake up.
4. Last night's dream: R and I are travelling together on a business trip. We are in an airport bathroom brushing our teeth. He says he's out of toothpaste, can he borrow mine? Sure. I offer it to him and he brushes his teeth. He finishes up and clasps my shoulder and says thanks. I'm not done yet, so he goes ahead to the gate. When I arrive at the gate, R has convince the pilot to leave early. I'm stranded in Arkansas overnight. Upset, I begin crying and I wake up.
I don't necessarily believe in dream interpretation like back in Daniel or Joseph's day, but I do believe dreams are an indication of our sub-concious. I'm not sure what to think about this. Do any of you have an ideas?
Thanks,
Andi
