Retirement
Retiring, Being retired
Leaving work behind and having your days to yourself: retirement dreams aren't only for older people. At any age they can come from a wish to slow down, a stage that's ending, or curiosity about who you are outside your job. Feeling relaxed and free in the dream says you can let go of a role that no longer fits. Feeling lost or bored hints that much of your identity is tied to what you do. A parent retiring may be about changes in your family's rhythm.
