I thought work dream journals were nonsense until I counted 41 entries about the same guy
I started writing down my dreams after a rough stretch at my job in Pittsburgh about 6 months ago, mostly as a way to figure out why I kept waking up angry on workdays. Going back through the notebook this past weekend, I counted 41 separate entries about the same coworker, and I honestly had no idea he was on my mind that much until the number was staring at me. Has anyone else tried tracking something like this and been surprised by what the count showed you?

Wait, 41 entries about one guy and you didn't notice until you actually sat down and counted them all? That is wild, because it means your brain was basically running a whole side channel about this dude for six months while you thought you were just journaling about your job. Honestly the funniest part is you probably thought you were tracking your anger and it turned out you were accidentally writing a slow burn novel about a coworker. I bet half those entries don't even mention him by name, he's just "the guy" doing whatever annoying thing he does in your dreams. Did you go back and read what he was actually doing in these dreams, or did you just count and then close the notebook out of fear?
