Yesterday morning I actually woke up crying and shouting ‘I can’t Bear it, I can’t bear it. ,! My dream had a member of my family die from the virus. It felt so real. It took me all morning to get it out of my mind . Every time I thought about it I cried. What a relief when I woke up.

I never use to dream much but now I have vivid dreams every night and I seem to sleep longer in the mornings. Maybe its because there is no traffic and its quiet.

I actually dreamt of Matt Hancock the other night!

He was running down Wall Street

Not a nightmare though

Me, too. I’ve always had vivid dreams but they’ve become more agitated lately.

Not nightmares, but a couple of nights ago I dreamt that we were all issued with rainbow fluffy toys that were mechanical, rather like Furbies!

There was an article which said this is a common theme because people have been forced into a weird and confined lockdown. It's happening to lots of people. It's not natural to be trapped in a space with little outside stimulation or contact with others and dreams are a way of expressing our fears and desires.

I've started having the most horrendously vivid nightmares shock. I know it's down to the situation we're all living through currently, not sleeping well, napping in the daytime etc., but anyone else?
