It is normal after retiring from a job after 40 years to dream of it

I worked for 40 years as a secretary where I was bullied and harassed on and off for all those years. I retired about 18 months ago and can't for the life of me get past these dreams. In the dreams its different offices but same people - I can't find my desk but have loads of work to do - people are still harassing me and just piling the work on me. And every single dream is my last day at work before retiring.

    I am retired and have nightmares every week about getting lost at work or not getting work done or being in dangerous places at work and I wake up and tell myself that I am retired and then I go back to sleep and dream about sucking you off at your work!!! Honest.

    Perfectly natural to think about your job. What you might do is get involved in a voluntary organization. There are several. Even the Hospital always needs volunteers. Get going, you need to get involved with several things to take away any experiences that you don't need to remember.
    (I retired after 38 years with the same company. I completely understand your dilemma.)
