The pandemic is giving people unusual dreams

A study says that many people are experiencing vivid, unusual dreams during these stressful times. The article states that if your dreams seem bizarre and filled with symbolism, that you could be dealing with some memories or either some everyday psychological stressors. On the other hand, nightmares can be warning signs of anxieties that we may not be acknowledging in our waking lives. Researchers also found that anxiety and lack of activity decrease sleep quality. In conclusion, those close to the pandemic threat—health-care workers and other essential employees, those living in epicenters, and those with affected family members—are more likely to experience outbreak-influenced dreams.
