Dreaming of breaking into a sweat at work - dream meaning with inherited lore
It may appear when you feel you have to watch everyone’s reactions at work or have taken on all the responsibility alone.
You break into a sweat while organizing documents at work or in a meeting room, or answering people’s questions. A suffocating feeling may come with the sense that new tasks keep appearing before the work is done.
Korean lore: Traditionally, breaking into a sweat has sometimes been interpreted as a situation that demands great effort and energy. It may also be seen as a sign that your hard work will become visible or that a burden is beginning to ease. (In folk dream readings, sweat has long been interpreted as a bodily sign of effort and exhaustion.)
Through the mind: You may be constantly preparing yourself inwardly to meet your boss’s or colleagues’ expectations. The pressure may come less from the amount of work than from wondering, “Am I really doing this right?”
