Dreaming of Being Sick at Work - dream meaning with inherited lore

You become too sick to stay at your desk during work or a meeting. You slip away to the restroom or break room while worrying about your boss or coworkers, or ask to leave early.

Korean lore: Traditionally, being sick at work has sometimes been interpreted as being weighed down by assigned tasks or social roles. Leaving your post for a while may be seen as a wish to set down a heavy responsibility. (In folk dream interpretations, illness is sometimes connected to the burdens of work or one's role, and attention is also paid to whose gaze you felt in the dream.)

Through the mind: If you've been pushing yourself to endure while worrying about evaluation and others' reactions, your dream may create a scene where you rest in your place. It may also reflect your body's real need for rest.
