How dreams have changed after the pandemic

Reading Time: 1.5 min.

By now, everyone knows that everything has modified with the pandemic. Our routines, working habits, and more have changed forever,  including our dreams. For many, the pandemic has altered dreaming, making dreams increasingly bizarre and vivid.

According to some experts, dreams help us to process our emotions, especially negative ones. Although this always happens, most people don’t remember what they dreamed. However, since the pandemic began, studies have reported that more and more people report having unusual dreams and having the ability to remember them.

Due to the pandemic’s isolation, the stress, and the decrease in activities, the content of our dreams is limited and makes them have more strange and metaphoric elements, which results in more intense and memorable dreams.

In addition, anxiety and lack of activity affect the quality of our sleep and cause parasomnias, which means we wake up frequently. Therefore, it is easier to remember our dreams better. Sleeping is essential since it is during sleep that our body regenerates and obtains the energy to live the day better.
