COVID-19 has changed the way that people around the world live their lives, consequentially spurring various mental health difficulties The current study aimed to determine whether people experienced distinct dream imagery during the early phase of the pandemic in Canada The dreams of Canadian university students were recorded for 2 weeks during the beginning of Canada's experience with COVID-19 The dream imagery was analyzed and compared to a control group;t tests show that the COVID-19 group had significantly more imagery of location changes, animal, head, food, and virus-related dream imagery compared to the control group This dream imagery is consistent with previous findings of the dream imagery of individuals experiencing waking day anxiety, suggesting that waking day concerns about COVID-19 may be affecting individual's dream imagery In addition, the increased amount of imagery related to the virus, food, and head imagery suggests that specific aspects of COVID-19 and the global response are reflected within sleep mentation As concerns and anxieties regarding the virus are pervasive, affecting many people during both waking and sleep, it is suggested that dream interpretation may be a beneficial approach to alleviating COVID-19-related stress
