I have dreamed of forgetting to wear a mask at a large maskless gathering every night for at least the past week. STOOOOOOOOOOP.

If the pandemic is still affecting your daily life, what sort of pandemic dreams have you all been having? Or do you dream of going to movies and parties and other Before Times?

I am having lots of very vivid dreams of extremely mundane activities that I can't do (or at least feel extremely dubious about doing) in the waking world. Sitting in crowded cafes. Attending a boring work-related conference talk. Riding trains and buses with friends. Queuing for the toilets. (Ok that last I really really needed the loo when I woke up from it.)

The key commonality is that in the dream I'm not worried at all. I don't think about masks or distancing. It's completely fine to be in close quarters with a bunch of people many of whom I don't know. And then I wake up and remember it probably isn't.
