But it’s a sit-down multiple choice exam and I can’t figure out any of the answers. They look just like those white plastic home-pregnancy tests. My husband and I are taking a test to see if we have the virus. Many tests are swabs much like the waking procedure.
Variations include one’s children or elderly parents coming down with the virus.ĭreamers may be tested for the disease. Another looks down and notices bright blue stripes on her stomach and remembers that’s the first sign of infection. Other symptoms are more dreamlike: one woman sees a dark aura from a person she passes on the street touch her body and knows that it has infected her. Dreamers have trouble breathing or spike a fever. Since were unable to get out, we are going to die of it.Ī common category of dreams in my survey is simply of catching the virus. The hazmats tell us someone in our home has COVID-19 as confirmed by Parliament. The door no longer opens because we haven’t used it in so long. I have a reoccurring dream that we get a knock on our door and outside are people in hazmat suits. The book is divided into five chapters addressing different aspects of pandemic dreams each ends with a practical exercise you can use with that category of dream. Many of the book’s generalizations and examples rely on my survey, but it also includes the longer conversations I’ve had with people about their dreams during the pandemic and draws on my past crisis dream collections for comparison.
It also examines the larger arena of what these collective dreams tell us about our instinctive, unconscious responses to the threat and how we might integrate them for more livable policies through these times. It explains practical exercises for dream interpretation, reduction of nightmares, and incubation of helpful, problem-solving dreams.
It offers guidance on how we can best utilize our newly supercharged dream lives to aid us through the crisis and beyond. Pandemic Dreams discusses why our dreams have been so vivid since this began, and explores different forms the crisis is taking in our dreamlife-characterizing major themes in these dreams and what they symbolize. The response to this has been overwhelming-more than 9,000 dreams from over 3,700 dreamers, all around the world. In late March, I began to collect dream reports via an online survey.
