A dream about leaving a coworker behind after work - dream meaning with inherited lore
This scene can appear when you still feel responsible for looking after a coworker or are thinking about your relationships.
After leaving work, you realize too late that a coworker is still at the office. You hesitate about going back, or picture them there alone and feel concerned.

Through the mind: Maybe you’ve recently been looking after a colleague’s share of things, or felt uneasy about whether it’s okay to leave first in a relationship. The guilt or indifference you felt in the dream may offer a clue to how close or distant you feel from others now.
