"I dreamed about one of my coworkers, but the whole thing was strange. We were at work at first, sitting at our usual desks, except nobody else was there. My coworker kept asking me if I had finished something, and I kept saying yes even though I had no idea what they were talking about. Then suddenly we were in my house. I was making coffee and my coworker was sitting on the sofa like it was completely normal. I remember feeling awkward and wondering how they even got there. We started talking about work again, but somehow the conversation turned into talking about an old vacation. I don't even think this person knows anything about that part of my life. Then the dream jumped again. We were walking through a supermarket, still talking about work. I looked away for a second and my coworker was gone. I woke up wondering why I had dreamed about them at all."
