Instead, Im interested in the what.
So I asked people to share whats been going down in dreamland for them over the past two months.
Heres what they had to say.
It was so chilling and real, from the class dynamics to the contagion.
The one where you disappointed Bernie Sanders
I was in a classroom from my elementary Catholic school.
I was in the back of the class, as a 28-year-old woman, with my classmates.
It was so vivid I felt like I could taste it while dreaming.
Then all of a sudden Bernie Sanders is there, and he’s reprimanding me for eating clay.
He’s like, pretty upset.
Theres no way to hide it because my mouth is full of clay.
I believe this dream ended with him telling me to go spit it out.
I felt like I let everyone down.
Id really prefer to not let Bernie Sanders down.Katie T., 28

My dreams have been awesome.
