I woke up twice in the night, each time from an exhausting admin dream. Do other people get admin dreams? I have nightmares where nothing particularly bad happens, but I'm run ragged trying to keep up with the demands of dozens of unhappy clients. At one point I remember being asked to look after a lighthouse while the lighthouse keepers were on holiday, and then needing my phone and losing it. Each time I woke up exhausted.

i get failed-admin type dreams, where i am responsible for someone or someones (usually children) and everything has gone wrong and we are not safe and we know it and there is nothing i can do. loss of children & failure to keep people safe are recurring nightmare themes for me. usually more "sad/despair" than horror type.

Me too. I often used to get nightmares that my kid had been hurt by someone and I hadn't been in time to help her, and I'd wake up and think, "Wait, that was a dream? Oh, thank God."

yeah. i find it hard to shake the melancholy when i wake up from dreams like that. they leave me disturbed and sad well into the morning. :(

Not exactly, but this more closely resembles my dreams than other people's fantastic dream stories do.

You might enjoy this story, though (especially if you've ever read any DWJ).
