What does it mean when you dream of a desk?

The dream is work related, whether or not you actually sit at a desk at work. It might refer to you looking for a job, wanting to change jobs or approaching retirement. It also makes a difference how you felt during the dream. Anxious feelings could reflect insecurity at your job or a nudge from your conscience that you need to apply yourself more seriously. Alternatively, you might be spending too much of your time and energy at the desk; again, the emotions experienced in the dream determine its meaning.
