Does anyone have dreams where people are wearing a mask ?

I continue to be amazed at the fact I've never dreamed a single time with people wearing masks.

Plenty of times I'm awear of the pandemic, even to the point of asking strangers if they're vaccinated.

When I venture out in public virtually everyone is wearing masks indoors, so it's not like I'm not encountering such scenes.

Dreams are funny things, eh ?

... Dreams are essentially random neurons firing that your waking brain tries to make sense of... Human brains are hardwired to find faces in things and random patterns... For example, the "Man in the Moon."

Our brains crave faces... We haven't evolved to interpret masks in our dreams.

Very often I clearly see people's faces and expressions.

I remember my last dream, moving thru a crowd in the opposite direction.
Asking everyone in a somewhat humorous tone for assurances everyone is vaccinated, "right?!"

.... Just my standard stuff...

- My teeth falling out and nobody will help me
- Suddenly realizing I am still enrolled in college and have exams coming up
- Toilet starts overflowing in a public bathroom, and I'm locked in
- Getting sucked up in a tornado

You know... Normal things.
