A Dream About a Coworker Locking You in the Office - dream meaning with inherited lore

As you are leaving work, your coworker locks the door or leaves you inside the office while they go outside. You may feel frustrated when knocking or calling brings no immediate response.

Korean lore: Traditionally, being trapped has sometimes been interpreted as unresolved worries or tangled relationships. Dreaming that a coworker locks you in the office can also symbolize feeling that your choices are narrowing at work and in your relationships. (This interpretation comes from the folk tradition of reading closed spaces and being trapped as images of restriction, worry, and situations that are hard to escape.)

Through the mind: This scene may appear if you keep accommodating a coworker’s requests or the team’s mood because you cannot say no. Rather than meaning that the coworker is actually threatening, it more likely reflects the feeling that it is hard to protect your own time at work.
