I remember having swollen eyes like I'm getting a reaction to something. A work colleague was super stressed about the workload he had compared to others at the same level. I agreed and tried to argue his case to management that something needs to be done.

AI generated interpretation In your dream, the presence of puffy eyes may symbolize an emotional disturbance or sensitivity. Swollen eyes are often associated with feeling overwhelmed, burdened, or stressed in waking life. This may reflect a sense of feeling emotionally exhausted or struggling to cope with a challenging situation. The work colleague being super stressed about his workload compared to others at the same level could represent themes of unfairness, inequality, or competition within your work environment. Your agreement with his perspective and attempt to advocate for him to management suggest a desire to stand up for what is right and address issues of inequity or injustice. Overall, this dream may be highlighting your empathetic nature, ability to recognize and stand up for others' struggles, and your willingness to speak out against unfairness or imbalance in your waking life. It may also indicate a need to address any feelings of overwhelm or emotional strain you may be experiencing, whether in relation to work or other aspects of your life.
