An interpretation of desk dreams

An interpretation of desk dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A large or imposing desk can be a symbol of authority. It can be a symbol of your inner authority, especially if you meet an important person in association with the desk. Or it can represent an authority figure or structure. A work desk can symbolize something related to work life or tasks that need to be done. For example, straightening up a desk can symbolize taking care of loose ends and paying bills. For some people, these small tasks need to be done before a big task is tackled. Sitting at the desk of another person can indicate lacking trust in your own abilities, or wanting to assume that person’s authority or responsibility—not necessarily take over, though that’s certainly a possibility, too. A desk can remind you of a person and refer to him or her. It can remind you of a time of life. For example, a school desk can symbolize school life. It can symbolize the feeling of being treated like a kid, or unable to assume an adult role. This use of the symbolism is especially likely if you dream about yourself as a fully grown adult trying to stuff yourself into a small school desk.
