Dreams involving being inflated like a balloon, especially in a workplace setting, can symbolize feelings of pressure or being overwhelmed. Your boss's actions may represent authority figures in your life and the stress they bring. The act of inflating could indicate feelings of being exaggerated or blown out of proportion in terms of expectations or responsibilities.
This dream might suggest that you are feeling overwhelmed by your job or that you fear being criticized or judged in a public way. It could also reflect anxiety about your performance or how you are perceived by others in your professional environment.
Consider reflecting on your current work situation and how you feel about your responsibilities. Are there areas where you feel under pressure? It might be helpful to find ways to communicate your feelings or set boundaries to alleviate some of that stress.
