Admission

April 14, 2020 | Missouri | 30-39 years

In the dream, I woke up next to my partner and I had to tell him I was experiencing chest pain and it was hard to breathe and I had these massive swollen bumps on my belly. I was so scared in the dream, not that I had covid-19, but that I had to admit it to others because I needed help and face the consequences of being treated harshly (like I'd betrayed my loved ones) because I had it.

Note: Dreamer adds, “The fear I felt in the dream is a fear I have outside of the dream, too. I see how people who have confirmed (or unconfirmed) cases are treated as ‘other', like catching it must have meant you did something unforgivable. I fear being labeled and treated that way often.”
