Pandemic Dreams

[Wędajihs]

Hello all. I was just wondering if you're having dreams that are related to the current Covid/Corona Pandemic. If so, give them a share here? It would be interesting to see how the current global panic is affecting the dreaming mind.

I haven't had any outright CV Dreams yet. But I do feel like one, about drawing numbers out of a container and giving them to people, has something to do with it. I don't know how, just feels that way.

I had a really bizarre dream where the world was violently ripped apart around me and then reformed itself into this weird other worldly, other dimensional kind of place. I have no idea if it was related or not though. Maybe.

I might end up having more of them now that it's become real here, and my job has been compromised. And just sitting in my own little personal survival apocalyptic isolation waiting to see what happens next. Will it blow over before I run out of money and supplies, or just keep getting worse and become even more real? Time will tell.

I didn't have much recall last night. Woke up for a little WBTB and was planning to go back to sleep for another five six hours before work but then found out I'm probably not going to be going back to work (At least not to my current job) until this blows over. So went shopping for food and supplies instead of going back to sleep. At least not yet. I'll probably go back for a nice long nap pretty soon.

For the time being I'm fine. I have enough food to last a month or two, I think. A couple hundred in cash and some savings in the back to get by for a while if I have to.

How are things where you're at?

Holding together here. On top of, or underneath of, this pandemic stuff are a bunch of other issues we're dealing with too.

I saw an article somewhere, probably IASD facebook page, that they're looking for pandemic dreamers for some kind of research if anyone is interested.

Also, I had a kind of cool dream where a variety of native people in the world were singing all at once but somehow all our voices sounded beautiful together. I think we were singing for the earth to recover, not for humanity, but for the earth. My song and the ones I could understand were for the earth.

Last night while drifting off to sleep I had some none lucid HI where I was in a scene of being out shopping. There were a lot of people walking around with winter coats that were zipped up so the top part of the coat covered their mouths and noses. At first, in the scene, I just thought that they were cold and kind of bundling up. But then I remembered the real reason was because they were covering their mouths and noses to try and avoid getting the virus. I came out of the dream shortly after coming to that realization.

Just me, angry and yell-arguing with someone. Wish I could remember who I argued with or why. I suppose over all that's not the important thing, the important thing is my anger is making a comeback and I don't like it.

[Caradon]

Wow you too, I had an angry dream last night too. I got into a big argument with a family member. I don't even remember what it was about.

There was recall of another dream but I forgot what it was. I went to check on my notes because I thought I took notes but then saw that I apparently didn't.
I was going to sleep more but didn't really I fell asleep for a little bit while watching a movie but didn't recall anything. But then decided to make a trip to the store so didn't sleep any more. 

[Wędajihs]

That is weird. Hoping for better dreams tonight. I'm going to remind myself to reality check if I am angry at anything.

[Caradon]

I try to remember the angry reality checks too.

I had a really bad one influence by both the pandemic thing and emotions around the loss of my puppy. I decided I'm not describing the details it was highly disturbing. 

Damn. Sitting in my living room tent and can hear the wind blowing like crazy outside. I'm thankful I'm so cozy and warm in here.

[Wędajihs]

Glad you're safe and warm.

Last night dreamed I hoarded a mountain of toilet paper. I don't know why I had gotten so much. Passersby looked at me with either envy or hatred. I took half of the toilet paper into my apartment with the intention fo distributing it to family. The other half I gave away to people passing by, a pack per person. They still looked at me with envy or hatred, or with suspicion. I didn't care. Weird. lol

[Caradon]

lol. I've not had that dream yet I've been not been too worried about it. At least Walmart is now limiting people to one package per person. Last time I was there they still had some, but I was there at opening and managed to get another six roll pack.

I watched a show call "The Rain" about a virus apocalypse. And these two kids were down in a bunker for six years before being forced out to look for more food. They didn't say anything about running out of toilet paper lol. 6 years seems like a long time to go without running out of toilet paper.

[Wędajihs]

lol. I wonder what six years worth of tp looks like.

Last night, a dream about moving to an old apartment of mine (not a real one either, one that only exists in dreams from time to time). It was full of people, and everyone seemed stressed or down right murderous. In the far left corner of the home, in the 'secret' apartment was a sick bay. It wasn't there before. On a bed was a huge old time diving suit, the kind with the big metal looking helmet. I didn't know for sure but suspected it was like an emergency piece of equipment there in case someone got sick. They would have to live in that suit until their illness passed. I wanted out of the house, it wasn't home anymore.

My inner self nudging me to take more precautions before I end up in the damn diving suit (or sick). And basically stay the hell away from people now more than ever?

It's probably because of the funeral. Up until now I'd been very careful with my people contact, especially since I'm still working. But with the funeral I'm finding it hard not to hug my sister, especially when she asks for it. And I don't know how many people she's been in contact with before me. I really don't want one of us getting the other sick.

[Caradon]

I dreamed I was in a line at the bank and some people were wearing masks because of the pandemic. Some guy removes his mask and starts coughing on us and people get pissed off at him for infecting us all.

[Wędajihs]

Reminds me of back near the beginning of this all, I went to the pharmacy to get some vitamin Cs. The store had taped off 6ft areas for us to stand apart while waiting to get to the cashier. As I waited, someone came up and stood behind me. He was breathing so horribly and it sounded so phlegmy. And he was very obviously trying not to breathe so loudly. Panic and anger filled me for about 5 seconds before I mentally backhanded myself to calm down. He could have any kind of problem aside from Covid. I proceeded to pay for my vitamins but went home and marked the calendar and then the two week mark just in case I got sick around that time.

In a lot of my dreams I find myself shying away from people. In the train dream last night I went out of my way to avoid large clumps of people or to sit in a section of the train with the fewest people. I remember feeling horrified now and again at how most of the people were very touchy feely, and handling food with bare hands.

[Caradon]

Last time I was at the store a guy was coughing as he walked in then grabbed a cart and just went in shopping not using the sanitizer on the handle or nothing.

I've taken note of the date every time I'm around people in public as well. Think I'm going to make a trip today as I'm getting pretty low on food. And I also need to get a Straight Talk service card for my phone which is due in a couple of days. And I wouldn't mind getting some more chips and salsa.

 All I have for food at the moment is less than a package of brats. Still have a box of popcorn and a couple sticks of butter. Less than half a loaf of bread. One can of spaghetti sauce and noodles. That's literally it.
