In these weeks of confinement at home because of the crisis of the Coronavirus there is a very generalized comment among the people: I have rare dreams. And from Diario Female we have to tell you: it is totally normal. It is true that dreams have changed with confinement and can become anguish nightmares, disturbing experiences, violent scenes or with a more intense emotional load than usual. Not everything is bad dreams, it is true, but they are all more real or, at least, we perceive it. In our dream dictionary we have the explanation to why your nights are more moved during confinement and we have detected which are the most frequent dreams in this quarantine by COVID-19.
We have realized that we have rare dreams and that, in addition, during the confinement that has been decreed in most countries of the world because of the Covid-19 crisis, we dream more; Or, at least, we remember more dreams. This has a logical explanation and that our sleep pattern has changed, surely the schedules and even the quality of the sleep. There is a collective and also worldwide concern that is the coronavirus pandemic and this has not gone unnoticed by our dreams.
We have changed routines and now we remain at home. We may do less things, but our emotional experiences do not need to go to work, or travel, party, or eat with the family. In fact, in the midst of this uncertainty, our emotional experience is so intense that it is inevitable that it is reflected in dreams as always occurs before, during and after confinement.
These emotional experiences are more significant now that we are afraid to get sick from Coronavirus, to lose a loved one or that everything changes in such a way that we do not know how to adapt. What will happen after Coronavirus? This question, although we do not realize, we have it circling in our heads. And when we relax, that is, when we sleep, it comes to light.
Therefore, dreams have changed and many of them refer to survival, but also to the change of routines that we are experiencing. There is one more thing that makes our dreams change and it is attention. We have the focus of attention on the pandemic, how it evolves, what will happen to our work, when we will hug us again … and no matter how much we delimit the time we spend informing ourselves, the subject is still there, focusing all our attention.
It is normal for dreams to change in this situation. There is a lot of concern, there are many doubts, there is a lot of emotional load. We do not know what will happen in the future, if both our dreams and their interpretation will change forever, but what is clear is that in the times of pandemic there are some frequent dreams that many people have. Are they collective dreams?
1 dreams in the supermarket
Dreaming of supermarkets has become the usual dream experience. The supermarket may be empty and do not find the products you needed or may enter the supermarket and find it full of people, as if it were the subway in rush hour.
2 dreams with the police
Another usual protagonist in dreams during confinement is the police. That’s why I don’t miss you dreaming that they stop when you are going to lower the trash or for some reason that the dream does not tell you. But dreaming of the police is one of the most common and at the moment its meaning changes completely putting the focus on your doubts about whether you are doing it well or not.
3 dreams related to health
Health focuses all the attention. It is very common to dream that you are in a hospital, dream of doctors, with operating rooms or that you are sick at home. And, of course, death. You can dream of your own death, but especially with the death of your loved ones, with coffins, with cemeteries or even skulls.
4 dreams in which you are trapped
Are we locked up? Yes, confinement at home entails a negative confinement load that does not escape our dreams. We know what we have to do and the best to protect ourselves, but our dreams interpret confinement as a jail, like a cage and you can have dreams in which you are trapped in a cave, tied with chains or with someone who chases you to hurt you.
5 positive dreams in confinement
Not everything is negative dreams during confinement, although everyone leaves an uncertainty. Because it is also common to dream that you go to a bar, dream of a party or a concert. And what about that dream in which you adopt a dog to go for a walk?
This is the type of dreams that most people are having during confinement. And we have another bad news to add to these such disturbing dream experiences: the safest thing is that before or later, your ex comes to visit you in dreams.
