I replicated in a dream an episode of my waking life distorted. I was at my office dealing with something related with a book I'm reading and my assistant was on her desk and I was reexperiencing the uncomfort she made me feel by just existing there where I could see and interact with her. She was fired a couple of days ago and in the dream it seems as if she knew (which is not how it happened). I went to another place to retrieve information about the book in private and after checking in a computer some stickers I wanted to print I notice her there sweeping the floors and it bothered me because we have someone for cleaning and that was not part of her functions (which is a behaviour that happened a lot in real, she unexpectedly doing something that I would find out of what should be her main focus, her own tasks) and because i was doing something personal and her presence made me feel invaded, she did not asked for permission, she just did what she was doing as if could and was supposed to. I confroted her calmly and she gave me an explanation that did not make any sense but i did not argued about it. Instead i stay there in silence and she continued with the sweeping. What happened next is that I snapped and started yelling at her that that was the reason she was out mainly for not taking care of her own bussiness and for being disrespected by her, and I also got a bit violent by holding her against a wall and she was laughing loudly in my face while saying that things wouldn't get any better for me and asking if I checked the last name of my new assistant, implying it was her relative. That's when I woke up. Frightened.
The dream suggests that you may be harboring unresolved feelings of anger and frustration towards your former assistant. It is possible that the dream represents your internal conflict about the situation, and how you view her actions as intrusive and disrespectful. The fact that she was laughing in your face during the confrontation could symbolize your feeling of powerlessness or frustration in the face of her behavior. It's also worth noting that the dream seems to be rooted in a sense of invasion of personal space or boundaries. This could indicate that you feel your personal space is consistently invaded by those around you, or that you have difficulty asserting boundaries with others. The dream may be encouraging you to reflect on these issues and find effective ways to manage them, even if it means confronting difficult situations head-on.
