Dreams about being part of a gathering

I looked over the last few pages of my dream diary and made an interesting observation. Dreams in which I'm with co-workers, past or present, seem to be the most relaxing as far as the interpersonal relationships go. Strange things still happen, but the conversations and social interactions seem Ok.

When I'm with strangers and family members however, there's always some weird behaviors, uncomfortable and even aggressive behaviors. There may be dialogue, but it's warped and strange and often puzzling. And sometimes upsetting.

Interesting.

Is this the way you feel in waking life?

Do you find that you sometimes spend time at work as a way of escaping from your family?
