Dreaming of a coworker can be a reflection of where you feel you are currently in your work life, or where you hope to be in the future. If you dream of a coworker that you work with in your present life, it reflects how you feel about your working environment right now.
Are you stressed, or do you get a lot of satisfaction out of the work you do? Dreaming of teaching a coworker to do an aspect of your job or to even replace you indicates you’re moving toward a deeper understanding of yourself on a spiritual level.
If your dream heavily focuses on a coworker on a surreal adventure, this points to your sense of ambition, and how your happiness is tied to your work success.
If you dreamed of having a coworker, but you don’t know this person in waking life, this indicates that an area of your life needs “work” and requires some attention.
A coworker’s appearance in your dream can signify that a journey you’re on or a project you’ve taken on will need a forensic approach, or an analytical perspective, in order to complete it. It could be that a project at work has you stumped, and you’re not sure how you should proceed.
If you dream of being the subject of gossip at work, this indicates that although you think you’ve finished a project or resolved an issue, you’ll need to approach it again from a different angle. You’re not finished yet.
You may have even forgotten something important which is integral to the project, and though you’ve been focused on completing it, you’ve missed the bigger picture.
Alternatively, you’ve been hiding away from something in waking life, and this dream is calling you to come to terms with it. The sooner you do, the less it will bother you.
If you are frustrated or irritated by one of the people you work with, this can surface in a dream, and the true extent of your feelings could shock you.
Perhaps you didn’t think they bothered you that much, but this can be a sign of stress, if you’re annoyed by the smallest things or habits.
Your coworker’s behavior in a dream can indicate how you should approach them or your professional life in order to move forward.
Dreaming of a coworker can suggest that you’ve already come to the right solution to an issue you’re facing at work – you just need to put it to good use.
It can suggest you need to resolve a situation with a colleague or between other colleagues that’s hampering productivity. This dream can also indicate that you cannot leave work at work, but it’s crept into your home life, or you need to think about it in order to resolve a complex situation.
Dreaming of a colleague can bring out any inner negative feelings or misgivings you have about your professional life and its direction. Do you want to try something new? Is your job security being threatened?
Are you worried about being pushed out, and what you’d do afterward? If you don’t have a job, but you dream of being fired or made redundant (see also Job Dream Meaning), this dream links to the fears you’re holding onto. Are they likely? Can you prevent them?
Dreaming of being surrounded by the people you work with reflects your commitment to your professional life, and how you’re careful to keep things civil between you and your colleagues.
You know the value of kindness in the workplace, and this dream calls you not to forget. It also denotes that you have a lot of ambition within, but you need to keep your focus on what’s happening now, and adjust your plans accordingly.

The Meaning Behind Your Dream of a Coworker
If you dream of being in a conflict with your coworker, this can point to an elevated level of responsibility in the future. You’ve been working hard and someone higher up has noticed.
There’s no need to panic if you have a dream that points to this. The people who’ve noticed aren’t wrong, and you’ll enjoy rising to the challenge, and the financial security it will provide.
If you dream of your boss introducing you to a new colleague, this dream indicates that your creative mind will help you greatly in the future, and will help cement your relationships.
If you’re in the middle of an adventure in your dream, and you notice a coworker lurking in the background, part of your work life needs some attention. A dream where a coworker acts violently or tries to hurt you can point to future troubles in work.
Dreaming of ex-coworkers reflects how you’re looking back at your past, and if you felt the need to apologize, you regret how things ended for them at work.
An old coworker can be a projection of your current self, or your past self. You may be looking toward the past to see how you might move forward.
If you dream of a colleague acting negatively or exhibiting odd behavior, you’re not happy with your work life or how things are going. Maybe a coworker or your boss, or the workload, is making life difficult.
This dream can also suggest that you are on the verge of a burnout. You need to take things a bit easier, even if you’re working toward an important goal. Take a minute out of your work day.
If you dream of witnessing a coworker being fired, this can represent the authoritative side of you, which is winning over the more impulsive side. You’re listening to the rational part of your mind in order to get things done.
This dream also can signify that you feel a need to control every situation you’re a part of, which can point to some underlying issues.
Dreaming of a coworker dying reflects the fear of losing an important relationship in your life. You’re terrified of loss, of lacking such a big part of your life. Remember, you can’t prevent something by worrying about it. Often, that only makes things worse.
This dream can point to past issues resurfacing, of losing what you’ve held dear in the past. You’re letting your fear control you, and a good way to counteract this is to do something kind.
You might help someone with something you’re skilled in, or taking up some slack in a project. The point is, not to expect anything in return. Good things have a way of coming back to you.
Dreaming of being alone at work, when in waking life you’re surrounded by colleagues, reflects a fear of being inferior. Maybe someone has just joined the team, and everything seems easy to them.
They’re understanding things a lot quicker than you did, but that’s not a bad reflection on you.
Try not to let other people’s skills make you feel inadequate. Everyone struggles with something, and they may struggle with something else you find as easy and as natural as breathing.
Wouldn’t it be boring, if we were all the same?
If you dream of a coworker murdering you, this signifies that part of your workload or an issue at work remains unresolved, and it’s hanging over you. The confusion of trying to resolve it is causing you a lot of stress.
Feelings You May Have Experienced During Your Coworker Dream
