2. I, too, have had dreams of returning to work

I've been retired from the AF for 22 years and I still have dreams about my work. My job wasn't glamorous or exciting but I enjoyed it.

I do lucid dreaming which is where you know you're dreaming and you can take part in the dream or simple enjoy watching the dream. Most of my dreams I forget but some I remember from years ago because they were so good.

On the other hand, you can have bad dreams while lucid dreaming but since I know I'm dreaming, if the dream bothers me I say to myself, while dreaming, WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! and that works.
