How the pandemic is affecting our dreams

When coronavirus swept the globe last year, reports were everywhere of startling, vivid dreams plaguing us. Deirdre Barrett, a psychologist at Harvard Medical School in the US, has collected some 15,000 dreams in an online survey of the public. She suggested that initial dreams, which tended to express fear of catching the virus, decreased as dreams about social anxiety rose. One of the newest themes is vaccines. Her research so far suggests that more than 90% of the pandemic dreams are negative. But in recent months a small number have reported positive dreams about life after the virus.
