If you've turned on the internet, checked your instagram or logged in to Facebook in the last few months, you will have seen a conspiracy theory somewhere. And, guess what?

Weird dreams are something most people are confessing to (or keeping a secret) during COVID19 lockdowns.  What's at play here? Is it our subconscious working through the trauma of living through a global pandemic?
