I recently got a job at a private school as an education technician for a special needs student. So the following dream may have some correlation to reality:

Last night I dreamt that I was outdoors in a field, although it was a school setting. I was with another adult, probably a school nurse, and three students (ages 13 or 14). We are sitting at desks (in the field)and the students are taking snacks and I go to take a bottle of juice. Before I drink it however, I decide instead to inject it via a needle in my left arm. I fill the syringe up with the juice and inject it. Although I don't really feel the needle, I do experience a sensation similiar to that of a stimulent from the injection. End.

Too bad all the food and drink I ingest doesn't give me a "lift" like that!

Yes, it does seem like the dream could be related to your new job, and that you could use a lift.

Are you eating properly, getting enough exercise, and getting enough time to relax?

Fortunetly, the new job does allow me enough sleep, but I'm not getting all the excersise and proper nutrition I should.

The juice was grapefruit juice, a less sweet juice. I think the dream could also been a warning to cut down on sugar intake. Better diet---more energy!

I think you're probably right
