Mask dreams...

18 December 2020: My usual anxiety dreams of running late and not being able to find my shoes have been replaced by dreams of being in a crowded room without a mask. Like...multiple nights in a row. 

It's interesting (for me) to think about this for a bit. The shoe dream (also frequently a "it's time to go but i just can't get showered" dream) indicates, I think, a more deep-seated anxiety/insecurity. These are sometimes dreams when I am still in high school or college. They are almost foundational in that way. 

The mask dreams are set in the "now," are much more public, and--I hope/pray--temporary. 

Still: very 2020.
