Oddly enough, a dream concerning an of- fice pertains to emotional affairs rather than business matters. To dream of be- ing in your own office pre- dicts a probable change in your love life; to be wor- ried by office matters in- dicates domestic strife; a new or strange office is a sign of an important new friendship. Obviously, if you dreamed of an of- fice in which you actually work, the interpretation must be made by refer- ence to the action only (not the place).
