I've been seeing articles about why people are having such vivid dreams during this time of social distancing. I think it has to do with the fact that your brain isn't getting as stimulated as usual, so your mind tries to make up for it in your sleep.
I don't often remember my dreams, but in the last week or so, I have had a couple very realistic and memorable ones. They mostly involve getting together with friends in a social situation, being celebratory and happy to see each other, and then realizing, "Wait, we should all be wearing masks! And social distancing! We shouldn't even be here!"
The other weird thing that happens is I wake up and for a split second I think it's a normal day, and I have to remind myself we're still in the same situation, the virus is still here.
