Anyone having weird dreams since Lockdown

Not sure if these are related to COVID and all thats gone on with it, but it could be linked to heightened anxiety.

Lasts nights dream just came back to me, prompted by the fish and chip thread on here.

in my dream I was laying half asleep and my arm was upright, it was aching and I tried to put it down but everytime I lowered it a lobster jumped up and attacked it. It was a scary looking beast, bright red and lying in the middle of a salad which had been placed on my mattress next to my head, I have no idea what this dream meant if anything, I have no connection to Lobsters or any sea creatures, I was very scared of it, but was like a lead weight, so tired I couldnt move to safety and my arm kept flopping in the salad and he would jump and pinch me. I was also aware that if he managed to grab my hand that I would have to have it amuptated, very scary and odd dream, anyone else got one to share?

Not strange but very vivid and bringing back people and problems from the past. My dad died last year. Before lock-down I hadn't dreamed of him much if at all but now he shows up regularly. Also ex-boyfriends and other family members, who I'm not close to. It feels kind of unsettling but comforting at the same time. I miss my dad and in my dreams I've started speaking my mind to the bully exes from yonder year. Also nice that my dreams've long been elaborate stories in often faraway places. So I get to travel a bit as well. I'm quite curious now, to see where dreams take me.

Yes, some of mine have been off the wall weird!

Last night, for instance, I dreamt that DH was having an affair with Meryl Streep. I have no idea.

And there was the one quite early on in lockdown where I dreamt he was leaving me and going off to live in Australia with one of our female friends who we haven't seen in years (although we keep in touch through FB). It was so vivid that when I told him about it when I woke up I actually started sobbing.

He said he's always wondered how my mind works.

Last night I had a dream that Jeff Goldblum gave me a piggy back! But that is the norm for me..
