Example: A woman dreamed of unwanted sexual attention and harassment. In waking life, she started a new job about a year ago and was experiencing a male co-worker with authority becoming too casual and personal about conversations at work.

In this case, the unwanted sexual attention and harassment may have reflected her anxieties and discomfort about the co-worker's behavior inappropriately crossing boundaries in her professional environment.
