Pandemic Dream

[lydamorehouse]

 Interestingly I had a pandemic dream last night that my brain actively resisted.

I dreamed I was at the old Dreamhaven (one that some of you may actually remember, when they had this huge sprawling space in a basement of a building in Dinkytown,) and I was BROWSING comic books. It was a very happy dream, because in my dream I was about to drop a couple hundred dollars on comics and I knew I had the money. ​When it came time to load my prize in the car, I realized that I wasn't wearing a mask and I felt bad. But, my brain kept shifting the scene, "Oh, you're outside, it's okay!" or "Greg isn't wearing one either, maybe the pandemic is over," but I STILL INSISTED on pulling my shirt up to cover my face. I think my brain was mad at me at that point because it woke me up.

It was like, "Lyda, we are TRYING to give you a nice dream. Stop thinking about the pandemic for five minutes. Oh, you can't? FINE. WAKE UP THEN."

This is why we can't have nice things.

Oh man, I've had dreams like that. It's so weird.

Normally, my pandemic dreams have this air of "OH SHIT!" I forgot my mask and the weird part was this time, it was flipped. My brain was like, "NO, no, honey, just enjoy shopping, this is a niiiiiice dream."

Dammit.

For me, certainly, shopping in that Dreamhaven was always a good experience.

Darn brains.

They are very weird.

To be fair my brain was trying to give me time away from the pandemic... at least part of it was.

I have maskless dreams, too! D:

I have so MANY.

I just wish that I'd been able to enjoy the dreamtime browsing. I really, really miss browsing in general, but specifically in bookstores.
