First of all, EVERYONE on earth now has some version of Coronavirus PTSD. Realizing this is important to deal with the grief because Denial of this is death for many.
Everyone is different but I can share my experiences here so far.
The first nightmare was me in USC (where I had gone to a conference there with my son in law and Daughter I believe it was last summer for one afternoon and evening. So, in the dream I was at USC to go to a black tie event where you have to wear a tuxedo if you are a man. My wife was with me there. I was supposed to go upstairs to find my tuxedo and to put it on.
Instead a whole group of people talking pushed me down the stairs and out the door and then I wound up in Hollywood about 10 or 20 miles away. I was upset because people kept talking about things that wouldn't keep them alive and were not helpful to their survival. I never got back to USC or got my tuxedo or went to the event and I finally woke up very upset.
So, you see it wasn't about death the dream was about all these confused people not dealing with reality on any level. So, I was upset about people not dealing with reality in any practical way to stay alive in their lives. They were not survivors and so it was obvious to me that they would all die soon.
This was a nightmare to me even though physically in the dream I was okay but realized everyone was crazy and not dealing with reality in a way that would keep them alive.
I woke up and was so upset that I had to sit outside and regroup for about 45 minutes to an hour after this nightmare which was in the morning after it got light.
The most recent dream was that I was walking on a frozen river with my father and I had a pole to make sure there was enough ice and thick enough to walk along. We were using the river like a trail but my pole went into a hole and so I had my father and I turn back. Then the dream changed and I was on land with a dog I loved, a Australian Shepard-long hair German Shepard Mix and people were trying to harm my dog and I was upset in the dream.
When I woke up I was able to see both these dreams as coronavirus Dreams caused by people's denial and ignorance and death. For someone like myself who has always been a survivor in my life no matter what it makes me feel a little crazy when people are so self destructive and in denial that they die so easily from coronavirus.
It seems completely crazy to me that people are dying like flies all over the world and not taking precautions to actually stay alive through all this.
But, I was raised to be very practical and many people cannot think rationally or logically in an emergency and so they die which is horrific for the rest of us to watch. Because it's likely going to be like this for years now into the future all over earth.
And the consequences of all the people dying like they are haven't even begun to be realized by most people worldwide yet and won't until 10 or 20 years have gone by and the world is a completely different place than even now.
