I had a dream that I was at a fancy banquet. On my plate was a giant marshmallow which didn’t taste very good. When I awoke I discovered that my pillow was missing.
That is not true. That is one of my lame jokes that I used to tell my kids. What is true is since Pandemic started is that i have had several vivid strange dreams. I know that many of you are experiencing the same thing.
Last night I had dreamed that I was an unwilling participant with some type of criminal activity. I felt helpless, placed in a situation where I felt afraid and apprehensive. In the dream I wasn’t a criminal but was somehow connected to them. You don’t need to be a psychologist to wonder if this has something to do with a global pandemic, massive unemployment, ineffective government and several nights of civil unrest.

“Throughout all time, people have experienced terrifying dreams, dreams not only touched off by some external crisis of a personal nature or originating in the inner tensions of singularly sensitive persons, but brought about by situations that threaten people collectively.” – Charlotte Beradt, The Third Reich of Dreams
Our nation is undergoing such turmoil. Just as we surpassed 100,000 deaths from COVID-19 now we are witnessing our cities on fire. It is a nightmare. The solution I believe is in service to each other. We are not only sharing the dreams but also the pain and fear. It is time to heal.
