A Dream About Ignoring Your Firing and Continuing to Work - dream meaning with inherited lore
Continuing to work after being told you're fired may show both your determination not to give up your place easily and your difficulty accepting reality.
You hear that you've been fired but turn on your computer and keep working as usual. People around you stare in surprise, yet in the dream you can't find a reason to stop.
Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of ignoring a dismissal and continuing to work have sometimes been interpreted as the will to hold on to your current position or resistance to change. They may also be seen as dreams about continuing to carry your share without backing down easily. (This interpretation draws on the folk tradition of reading the refusal to be forced out as a symbol of holding one's ground and determination.)
Through the mind: Even if work is difficult, you may not want to let go of the career and identity you have built. Conversely, it may be an inner signal to consider whether you are still holding on to something—a finished matter or relationship.
