> I had a first of it’s kind nightmare last night involving Covid-19. This wasn’t the usual being chased by a monster, falling from a high place, appearing naked in public, getting in a wreck, etc. No, my nightmare involved going out with friends to a festival and drinking while not wearing a mask. The next morning (in the dream) I woke up and realized what I had done and thought to myself (again within the dream), why did I take such a stupid risk, especially with the vaccine so close to being…

My contribution to that thread:
