11 common workplace anxiety dreams and what they mean

These days, feeling stressed at work is practically a given. But you'd think that once you fall asleep, you'd be free from worries about pending project reports and pop-ins from your boss.

Unfortunately, that's hardly the case. Our anxiety about work often spills over into our dreams. Sometimes those dreams are easy to interpret; for example, you might dream about getting fired because you're afraid of it happening in real life. Others, like falling from a great height, are less obviously connected to work anxiety.

We consulted Michael Lennox, Ph.D., a psychologist and an expert in dream interpretation, to find out what the most common work-related anxiety dreams are - and what they're trying to tell you.
