Dream 1:
I am meeting some people at some building surrounded by trees and realize I have forgotten my mask. Most people aren't masking and risk is low, but I still want to be careful. A friend offers to help me out, and soon we are walking around with face-covering cowls, tan and fuzzy like a winter coat. It goes around my whole head, but the part that goes across my mouth is kind of loose so I have to make a conscious effort to keep my chin nestled in the right place. No one reacts.

Dream 2: 
I am hanging out with Rose (from this story) and we decide to kiss. I'm terrified of her losing interest, so instead of peeling off our scarves and winter clothes, I start kissing her through them. She seems curious and into it.

Dream 3:
I'm arriving at some kind of boot camp (probably not actual military, but trying to evoke it) on a crowded bus. I'm the first one to get my shoes off and one of the first to line up outside the bus, but I realize others are holding their shoes and socks and I left mine on the bus. Fortunately, someone has already brought them off the bus and I debate losing my place in line to grab them. [This scene was at least partially inspired by scenes I watched of The Good Wife yesterday where a lawyer is arrested and has to strip and line up when he arrives at lockup]
