I had a strange little realization about my hurtful dream.
Maybe my subconscious was trying to tell me to let go of the pride I attached to my identity at work.
The characteristics and flaws of that work-person are who I am inside, not just who I am while performing that job.
I think it was telling me to let go of who I used to be as a worker-person, stop remembering myself through that lens, so I can revel in how I can/do apply those same characteristics to the me I am now, the retired-person.
As the Marines (?) say, Be All that You Can Be.
More later ...
ps: Sorry to blab on about that dream.
I think that's a GREAT insight! I see a lot of retired people who hold on to their work identities too long and too tightly, instead of realizing that the past is gone and they need to live as who they are today instead of using their past work identities as a security blanket.
