Have you been having bizarre dreams lately?
Apparently you are not alone.
People have started sharing their weird dreams on Twitter using the hashtag #pandemicdreams.
Some of the dreams are amusing and quirky while others are disturbing, centering on death, fear or strange new worlds.
Researchers still don’t know why we dream but according to sleep experts cryptic dreams are normal.
It’s our brains’ way of understanding the stressful information we take in during the day.
The coronavirus pandemic is something people have never experienced before so the brain may be processing it as a nightmare or as a past chapter in our life that was less stressful.
But experts say what’s odd about some of our pandemic dreams isn’t only the content of them or the fact that we’re having them.
It’s that we are remembering them, which is a typical.
Normally we forget most of our dreams shortly after waking up for the day.
