Side Character Annoyingly Focuses on Mundane Details
Had an especially vivid dream last night that I don't remember very well because I didn't write it all down as soon as I woke up, but here's what I recall:
I was on a bus and trying to get somehere. I got off somewhere partway there due to some uncertainty about my destination, and went into a building. Then I realized I wasn't wearing a mask and neither was anyone else, so this suddenly became a Covid anxiety dream lol. But there was also a story to the dream I don't remember that was a lot more important than all this. And the main character was a woman who I can't recall very much about except remembering that the important plot centered around her and that she was very worried about what was going on.
I think maybe some sort of magic was involved? I don't remember for sure, though. And I was basically an unimportant side character that just happened to be around to observe all this going on. I wish I remembered more of this dream. The most visually memorable and comprehensible parts were also some of the most mundane: me trying to ask the bus driver if I should get off at a certain stop, the street I got off at, the escalator in the building, the distressingly unmasked faces inside the building. But who knows about the actual important stuff that was happening?
I am such an annoying side character to not pay enough attention to the actual momentous occurrences in my dream. What was that story about? Can I have some dreams where my dream-self isn't focused on getting dream-Covid? I don't think dream people can give me real plague, and I'd like to remember whatever story my dream was trying to tell.
