My Desk dream meaning - My Desk dreams, scene by scene

Traditionally, a desk has sometimes been interpreted as being connected to one’s work or one’s share of responsibilities. Since there is no widely established folk interpretation for the desk itself, the desk’s condition and the feelings in the dream are more important.
