The year of Covid! What a fun year it was. And the dreams reflect the pandemic's many delights.
Remember, this lists dreams dreamt this year, but not all the dreams sent this year! I'm glad to get older dreams--they don't have to be fresh off the dream-press.

|
GUILTLESS LIAR & HONEST EXHIBITIONIST: by Wayan; 2020/9/2, a dream on sex? Or politics? I fall for a girl whose charm turns out to be partly her utter lack of worry and guilt--as she lies & cheats!
