Effects

It has been noted that people are noticing remembering more dreams since lockdown.
I think that this is true. I always have disturbed nights since caring for my mother when I had to get up to move and tend her during the night, but I think I am dreaming more now. I would not describe them as nightmares as the only bothering thing about them is that they are irrational.
I quite like the exploring dreams where I try to go somewhere somewhere and see places which look vaguely familiar but not quite right and then try to get back home. As I can levitate and fly and glide rather than walk it is a dream-type that is repeated with different types of location I have had these for years. To get home I decide to wake up. I have even experimented to see if I can see great detail or colour. I can.

The most frustrating dream I had recently, was doing a crossword with no list of clues and no pattern to fit the answer into. It was very perplexing.

Although the restrictions caused by the the Virus have only changed my routine, they has reduced my motives for going anywhere.

My hospital visit this week has very sensibly been replaced by a telephone call, something I have advocated for some years. However I am disappointed to no longer have a motive to walk to Southampton in the summer time. I need a reason to go that far.

I have noticed that some shops in Eastleigh seem to have closed permanently. I was waiting for Itchen Stationers on Station Hill to re-open but they have moved to Bishops Waltham. I have walked there and back but not for over twenty years.

I seem to be getting very bored with the lockdown. I Will need a facemask in order to use public transport eventually, but cannot buy cotton or elastic as shops in Eastleigh do not sell these things any more and the Market did not open on Thursday. I have little experience of using a sewing machine, but I suppose I will have to try.
