Yes I do and to be honest they are full of anxiety and more nightmares than dreams. I also dream about being at school and at college and again - full of anxiety.
I didn't enjoy school much, but held down some very good jobs, but was always a worrier.
I quite like being retired. I can do what I like when I like and don't have to worry anymore. I enjoyed work to a degree, especially the social side - but no way would I want to work again. Just think I wouldn't be on here now!! (although it seems that a lot of people can work and be on here. I never would have had time when I was working!! - I was always too busy :o( )

i have never dreamed about being back at work. i loved my job but when i left i slammed the door shut behind me and didn't look back once. life moves on although it took a little while to get used to a new routine. i have never wished to be back at work and would say my life is better now.
what about you carlton?

I was medically retired in 2003 at the age of 40. I had been ill for a long time and I was dreading not having a job. I had been a civil servant from the age of 16.
I have had a few dreams about my work but nothing specific. I do voluntary work a couple of times a week and I enjoy this very much.
But I have become very lazy and have put on much weight. My life is better though because I don't have to worry about not being able to go to work when I am feeling unwell.
My cats keep me busy! ;-)

carlton.....no......AB Body and Soul is about my lot now ;-)
I put everything into my job for about half a century, it dominated my life, I couldn´t live without the "buzz2 that it gave me.....my family always played second fiddle....I knew it and they knew it. I have no recriminations and would live my working life exactly the same again.
Retirement?.....needs thought, readjustment and understanding.......I am not sure that I am the one to comment further.
