Getting fired

Fired, Losing your job

Getting fired is one of those dreams that feel very real, but it isn't a forecast. It tends to appear when you doubt your abilities, fear disappointing someone or feel stuck in a routine that no longer suits you. Traditional dream lore even turned it around: dreaming of losing your job was said to mark you as someone others rely on. So take it as a nudge to check how you feel about your job, not as a warning.
