After the announcement last night that a teenager in Oregon had contracted bubonic plague, I checked to see if we’ve seen a “plague” meme trending in social dream language. Indeed, over the last month, there have been about 6 times the historical average. Here are some:
@dustyburwell I dreamt everyone thought I had the plague, and I was forcefully kicked out of a church, but it was really just strep throat.

Dreamt I had some sort of plague and had to wear what was basically a deep sea diver suit to keep from infecting people.

I read a couple days ago that someone in Michigan had the bubonic plague so of course last night I dreamt that I have the bubonic plague

I dreamt a massive plague wiped out a shit ton of humans so the rest were free to roam and take whatever they wanted.

Expect to see more soon, as this is hitting the media today.
Like last Halloween, when blood dreams exploded, there are some other spooky trends on the dream board today (image archived here): zombie, horror, makeup, scary, and suicide.
Happy Samhain.
