THE DREAM I dreamt I was listening to a co-worker. This was some kind of war zone

THE REALITY In real life the dreamer was trying to overhear conversations of a co-worker whom he suspected was talking about him. He felt a lot of tension and problems. The war zone symbolised this real tension. He felt continuous with this person. He expected problems with her. Particularly he felt continuous tension whilst trying to overhear conversations. He could never quite hear everything and listening in only fuelled his paranoias.
