Time now for a refresher from my Dr Laura Call of the Day Archives.

Remember, you can hear my live radio program weekdays, 2 to 5 p.m.

Eastern time on Serious XM Triumph 2011.

Ali, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr Laura, thank you for taking my call.

Thank you.

I've been listening to you for 20 years and I love your show so

thank you very much. Thank you. I've been having a reoccurring dream for about 18 years and I just had it again two nights ago.

Just to give you a bit of background I stopped working 18 years ago because of

chronic illness and it's something I still contend with every day but I'm at a point and I've

been at a point for the last several years where I've become quite good at

managing the illness and doing what I need to do to take care of myself.

And I feel like I'm at a very actually happy point in my life despite that.

I'm a very creative person and I have a few creative outlets. I've got a great husband,

I've got a comfortable home and friends. Like everything feels like I'm content in my life.

And I continue to have these dreams that I'm still back at work and in the

dreams I'm sick and I'm trying to or I know that I'm sick or could be sick and I know that I won't be effective and so I'm maybe not quite panicked but I'm anxious because I don't know how I'm going to be effective and another common theme in the dream is that I

have nowhere to sit there's no desk for me and I'm basically trying to find out where

I can fit in how how it can be effective, and yeah, that's basically it.

So I'm just wondering if you had some insight on that.

I believe I do, and one's a small part and the other is the bigger part will give you an assignment okay

but unfortunately I got to take a break so can you hold on with me for three minutes
