One weird aspect of the lockdown era that seems almost folkloric now; I, and a lot of people I knew, experienced months of extremely vivid dreams. Seem to remember one or two pieces speculating that strict, repetitive regimens affect human sleep in some way, and then no one mentioned it ever again.
