Dreaming that only a coworker's salary goes up - dream meaning with inherited lore

You hear that only a coworker’s salary has gone up, or happen to see their payslip. Even while thinking you should congratulate them, you may feel uneasy inside.

Korean lore: Traditionally, dreams of watching someone else’s achievements and reflecting on your own circumstances have sometimes been interpreted as feelings about competition or recognition. They do not mean that someone else’s luck will actually work against you. (In folk dream interpretation, scenes of comparing yourself with others or looking at what belongs to them are sometimes read as reflections of envy, competitiveness, or wishes.)

Through the mind: You may be comparing your evaluations or salary with a coworker’s, or feeling anxious that you are the only one falling behind. The dream may also be showing hurt feelings you brushed aside by saying you were fine.
