This is a recurring dream I had regularly until it stopped this year. It seemed silly Hollywood action blockbuster stuff, but now it feels relevant. In the dream, I and lots of others are in a verdant Shangrila-type park with tall, green mountains and blue water (rivers, lake). Suddenly everyone is running away from either foreign soldiers on the ground, or aliens or foreign fighter jets overhead. It is a terrifying war zone. I shoot at the bad guys (my aim is good) then run out of ammo. Things become overwhelming and I wake up. Maybe Portland?

Many of us are noticing an amazing number of really strange dreams. If the dream precedes our having obvious knowledge of an event that actually ends up happening then it can be prophetic.
But if we have them after even just reading here, or seeing something similar on the news than boy, or boy, are our brains doing their best to process and release things that bother or upset us or that are always in the "back of our minds ".
These are happening more and more and more. Just Google "dreams in the time of COVID-19" and you can really find a lot of interesting articles and links!
Here's just one:
Why You’re Having Such Vivid Dreams During the Pandemic | Time
"In March, as COVID-19 started quickly spreading in the United States, we began noticing something strange: our dreams were getting weird. Odd visual stimuli are like catnip to visual journalists like ourselves, so we polled our friends on Instagram to see if it was just us.
“Who’s having weird dreams?? Tell us about them!” we implored.
We weren’t alone.

I have been having weirder than usual dreams. Last night about a gay woman who is my age, 69, who didn’t even know she was pregnant, and had a baby. I was supposed to transport it, but I didn’t do a very good job, letting the box it was in fall off a pushcart of sorts. The baby lived, but I didn’t want the responsibility of it anymore. Weird! I usually have dreams about my family one way or the other.
