Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- Dreaming of being unemployed suggests that we are not making the best use of our talents, or that we feci our talents are not being recognised.
2- Unemployment is a fear that almost everyone has. When an event connected with unemployment occurs, e.g. redundancy, dole payments etc. in a dream, our feelings of inadequacy are being highlighted. We need to experience that fear in order to deal with, and overcome, it.
3- A sense of spiritual inadequacy and inability can translate itself into the image of unemployment. This is more to do with not being motivated enough to accept a spiritual task.

Interpretation 3 — Martha Clarke
This dream does not necessarily have to do with the dreamer’s work situation. It indicates a period of stagnation, voluntary or otherwise, that you experience with impatience and anxiety. It would be beneficial to study the circumstances that generate this type of distress in order to get out of this limbo that the unconscious shows in dreams.
