Pandemic Dreams is a book by Deirdre Barrett, a psychologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School. It was published by Oneiroi Press in 2020.[1][2]
The book is based on Barrett’s survey of more than 9,000 dreams from over 3,700 dreamers, all around the world.[3][4] It discusses why dreams have become more vivid since the pandemic began, and explores different forms the crisis is taking in dreams—characterizing major themes in these dreams and what they symbolize.[5] It explains practical exercises for dream interpretation, reduction of nightmares, and incubation of helpful, problem-solving dreams.[6]
The book is divided into five chapters that address different aspects of pandemic dreams. Each ends with a practical exercise to use with that category of dream.[7]
