It's Not Just Anxiety That's Causing Your Quarantine Dreams
 
Have your quarantine dreams been bananas lately? If so, you're not alone. People around the world are recounting vivid nocturnal memories that are nightmarish, embarrassing and everything in between. This phenomenon is so widespread that sites like I Dream of COVID have sprung up, collecting and interpreting people's pandemic-fueled dreams. From mind-melding with bats to being rejected from a global sex tape competition, turns out our own psyches are getting too hot to handle.

Obviously, there are scientific reasons for this. Anxiety is messing with our sleep patterns and burrowing into our bedtime storylines.
