Anyone else having Covid themed dreams?

I've had several in the past couple of weeks. The main one is I'm in a store somewhere and don't have a mask on and I'm panicking trying to find one. Almost like the dream where you are at work in your PJs or underwear.

Must be the stress of all this.

1. Yes, several involving crowded gatherings where I suddenly realize no one is wearing masks

Some of the dreams are outside on crowded streets and one dream I recall was attending a crowded indoor family reunion celebration.

The panic of realizing no masks and being too closely packed together caused me to suddenly wake up feeling stressed after several of these dreams.

it took me about 3 minutes to realize "What the Hell Are You Doing!!!!" I'm pretty scatter-brained after a long day at work sometimes. I deserved a tongue-lashing from another shopper

I've always had vivid, and detailed dreams.

The very few I've had maybe only 3 or 4 - I, or I w f friends realize we don't have masks on.

It doesn't matter if anyone else is not wearing them, just that I, we aren't. I am, we are upset. So far either I've woken up right after the realization, or the dream switches to something else. So I consider myself lucky.

Hopefully nothing worse will pop up some night!

crowded with Trump supporters without masks and with horror realized that I didn't have one either.

7. Oh yes. I think it started a couple of months ago, before the election. Can't really recall details

...only that it’s always dark and foreboding, and when I wake up I know it’s caused by anxiety about COVID.
