I have been recording dreams for years, but much like 2020, 2021 was different. The Covid-19 pandemic brought new stresses and anxieties on multiple levels. There was a constant underlying fear of getting sick. There were fluctuations in product availability on grocery store shelves. I had to continue to work, and even work overtime, on an open factory floor where social and physical distancing were impossible and most workers refused to wear masks. I didn't sleep as well or as much, and what dreams came were difficult to hold onto long enough to record, resulting in more and longer gaps, shorter reports, and repetitive sequences. I define dream as that which I experience in the state of sleeping consciousness: I go to bed, fall asleep (I hope), and dream (often). What I write down is whatever I can remember when I wake, whatever I can drag back across to waking consciousness. These are not stories that I have purposefully created - I dreamed all of it. Each entry is my objective attempt to describe what I experienced in the dream, and no more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45570671804567,"sku":"9798404062809","price":1043.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798404062809.webp?v=1767937778","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dreams-of-twenty-one-9798404062809","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
