OUR brains had a lot to process this year so if your nightmares have involved some pretty weird shit, you’re not alone. Wake up with a jolt from these:
Shopping without a face mask
You’re in a busy Waitrose, everyone’s staring at you and the security guard is following you around. But unlike in real life it’s not because you look like a shoplifter, it’s because you’re a pariah not wearing a face mask. Luckily you wake up before being torn limb-from-limb by yummy mummies.
Attack of the vaccine mutants
Most of the population have been vaccinated against Covid, but they’ve all turned into hideous mutants. The worst thing isn’t that these terrifying creatures are on a deadly rampage, hunting down people like you who haven’t had the jab yet, it’s that the anti-vaxxers were right all along.
Being in the bath with Dominic Cummings
A blue rubber duck with a Tory logo is floating past your nose and Dominic Cummings is spooning you. This disturbed dream reaches its climax when, just as you’re waking up with sleep paralysis, he goes for a cheeky reach-around and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Your favourite pub closes down
In happier times you were in the Lamb & Crown almost every night, but two lockdowns and three tiers are too much to handle and it closes. You know it’ll be flats within a year, inhabited by anodyne people who insist on playing Coldplay out of the window at medium volume. It’s worth checking the internet to be sure this actually just a dream.
You accidentally voted Leave
You’ve been so worried about the effects of a no-deal Brexit that you dream your hand spasmed as you marked the referendum ballot paper and you accidentally voted Leave. You’ll wake up and spend the rest of your life wondering if you really did mark the wrong box.
