    Job Interview - Discuss Breast Feeding?

    by , 07-22-2013 at 10:44 AM (419 Views)
    I went to a job interview. It was going to take place in a crowded conference room. I did not go in yet, but waited in a chair outside. When the boss in charge (who was male) came, both of us walked into the crowded conference room at once, making an entrance. While everyone was still settling, the man to my left started asking me questions about breastfeeding versus formula. One of his questions was like "will you be more likely to run out of milk or formula during a feeding?" And my response was "You do not understand. You give the baby as much food during a feeding as will satisfy the baby, no matter which food it is. And once you are done, you hope the baby is satisfied enough to not devour you." While I was just talking to the one man, when I stopped, I saw that everyone was listening. I said to them that while they may think this is too personal, but it is important for this job that we can be honest. So next everyone was asked how many cigarettes they have ever smoked, and I said none. But there was a counter that increased and every time I denied it, it increased more as if to suggest I was lying. And I got angry and exploded that it was the truth, and that this job would only work if there is trust.

    Note: in reality I did in fact breast feed my kids, and it is true that I never smoked.

      This seems like one messed up dream. I'm not sure what to say.

      Maybe your afraid people won't believe you at times? I really don't know.

      Yup, you're sure right that this one is messed up.

      I am thinking this dream maybe explores the truth and lying and trust issues. The talking about breast feeding in an office setting is embarrassing, walking into a room full of people for a job interview is uncomfortable, and then being accused of lying is disturbing, so it is also a very emotionally negative dream.

      I don't know why I had this one now.

      Of course, there is a tiny chance that this was a precognitive dream since my office today sent out a mass email about a seminar about breast feeding to everyone working here. However, (a) I am not sure I believe in precog dreams; (b) why would I care to dream about the contents of an office email which I do not care about; (c) my breast feeding days have been over years ago. Of course, a small part of my brain is saying that my dreams will continue to have small precog stuff in them until I start to believe in precog dreams; and then the larger part of my brain points out to me that this is most likely not true.
