Case Study:
A person, referred to as Xiao Li, dreamt of two colleagues who entered the company at the same time as he did. In the dream, they passed away suddenly, leaving him disturbed for days. Shortly after this dream, he was promoted to a leadership position but felt isolated because the employees were closer to the previous leader.
Dream Analysis:
The dream suggests two possibilities. One is the desire to outdo these colleagues due to some reasons or work pressures. The other is self-doubt, worrying whether colleagues who share common goals might leave or abandon him. The dream leans more towards the latter interpretation. The death of the colleagues in the dream symbolizes the need to let go of old work habits and attitudes, and with the changing environment, he needs to adapt for success.
