Dreaming of a stranger at work - dream meaning with inherited lore
The pressure of taking on a new role or meeting unfamiliar people at work may appear as a visitor in your dream.
You see a stranger sitting in your company or office, or using your desk. Your coworkers act as if nothing is wrong, but you may feel awkward because you’re the only one who doesn’t know who they are.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a stranger appearing at your workplace has sometimes been interpreted as new work or an outside connection entering your life. If that person took your place, it may be seen as reflecting worries about changes to your role or position. (In folk dream interpretations, unfamiliar visitors and places may be connected with changes in work, social roles, or activities outside the home.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when you feel your position at work is unsteady because of a new team, a manager, evaluations, or organizational changes. More than the stranger themselves, how comfortable you feel in that space may be an important clue.
