Dreaming that a coworker takes over my work - dream meaning with inherited lore

Korean lore: Traditionally, a coworker helping with or taking over a task has sometimes been read as support from those around you. Depending on how the dream unfolds, it may also seem like a sign that you’re carrying a lot. (In folk dream readings, exchanging tasks with someone from work is sometimes seen as a symbol of cooperation or work pressure.)

Through the mind: It may reflect a wish to share the load, even briefly, because you have so much on your plate. It may be worth thinking about whether there’s someone you can ask for help or a task you can share.
