In this morning's dream I was in an airport looking for an exit. Frustrated strangers walked up to me and asked if I knew where the exit is. "No, I can't find it either," I shrugged. No one in the airport had masks so I held my shirt over my nose while I walked, trying to find a way out, like everyone else. The airport deliberately made masks unavailable to encourage us to get the vaccine. No one could escape without a vaccine. Every time it seemed I was nearing an exit, employees with big smiling faces with needles in their mouths and hands would approach, aiming their needles at me. They became increasingly aggressive. Eventually I managed to flee out a door and ran into a parked car with my ex. The back window was open a crack and I yelled at him "roll it up, hurry, they're gonna get inside!" We drove out to the freeway, a giant bridge, but traffic was backed up for miles.
I'm surprised I had this dream since I'm not anti-vaccine. It's probably more of a metaphor about how we're all trapped in pandemic looking for some way out of this mess, and vaccine is the only way out. I do have minor childlike fears about the vaccine and needles, but I'll definitely still be getting it.
Spring cleaning is underway in my nest and I am throwing away anything that doesn't "spark joy." I installed some new greenery for window privacy and the illusion of being in nature. I am turning this place into a jungle and I love it so much. God I love the quiet today. I can hear birds! I should open my windows but it's cold and I have a probably irrational fear that droplets from my neighbor below might float into my window and give me covid, because I spend most of my time sitting next to the window. I'm probably being overly cautious? I'll do some research...
