Today, after 3 weeks of my new job, I'm already having work-related dreams. I'm having troubles differentiating between the 8 hour shifts in real life and the 8 hour shifts in my dream. I'm doubly exhausted. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm so sick, I'm even sick in my dreams. Orientation for my new job starts tomorrow. FML
Today, after a two week holiday, I'm returning to work exhausted. I had nightmares about work every single night. FML
Today, I started dreaming about being at work. I already work more hours a week than I requested, and I live right across from my work and can see it out my window. I can never leave. FML
Today, because of my new job, I'm so tired I can’t think straight anymore. Long hours to make a sterling first impression? Nope. I haven’t even started working yet, I’m just exhausted because it all stresses me to the point I can’t sleep at night. FML
Today, I had a dream about sleeping, which is a dream I have frequently. I’m exhausted even when I sleep. FML
Today, after working 12 shifts in the past 8 days at 2 jobs and thinking today was a day off, I got the call that I misread my schedule and I was in fact scheduled. Got off at 2:30 am, work again at 9 am with 9 shifts to go this week. FML
Today, I was taking phone calls. In my dreams. That's just how horrible my job is. FML
Today, it’s been 6 months at my job and I still can’t get used to the morning shift. Even with a changed diet, exercise, meditation, and no caffeine after noon, I'm averaging about 2 hours of sleep a night. My body will always choose sleep deprivation over falling asleep at a reasonable time. FML
Today, I was working a phone call in a call center when I suddenly began to faint while at it. It turned out to be a bad dream I'd woken up from, because it's been three months since I've worked at that call center. FML
Today, after informing my boss that I needed stress leave from my 70-hour-a-week shifts, I got my new work assignment. Sixty hours a week, starting at 2 a.m. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Cross your fingers and hope you get it out of your system early, then the rest of your employment can be work dream-free! You're probably stressing subconsciously about learning the ropes, so I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck with the new job!

sounds like a 'dream job' sorry for you though, spend your evenings doing something you like, that would help.

don't get a job driving a semi then. Typically working 11-14 hrs per day, I consider 8 hours to be an abnormally short day, and the work related dreams are real doosies.

Get a hobby that is more memorable than your job, I play videogames before bed and often end up with amazing ass dreams about videogames. May or may not work for you, though. Good luck.

I had a dream once that I was hungry at work so I printed a chicken and ate it and got fired because it wasn't lunch and I was wasting ink.
