Martha Crawford started having climate change dreams about 11 or 12 years ago. Unlike many of her previously remembered dreams, these were not fragmented or nonsensical—they were “very explicit,” she recalls. “They didn’t require a lot of interpretation.” In one, she’s reading a textbook about climate change and then throws it behind the back of her couch, pretending it doesn’t exist.
The dreams eventually inspired her to start the Climate Dreams Project in 2019, and since, she’s been facilitating a space where people can share climate dream anecdotes, mostly anonymously.
One dream submitted to the collection was of people digging holes in the desert so that the rising seas would have somewhere to go. In another contribution, a Flood Football game was underway, and in the second half, players were floating on inner-tubes.
It would seem that climate change has woven itself into the “fabric of dreaming” as Crawford puts it.
Studying dreams can be slippery. We don’t always remember them, and interpreting them is highly subjective. But, according to a survey of 1,009 people conducted by The Harris Poll in June on behalf of TIME, over a third of people in the U.S. have dreamed about climate change at least once in their lives.
The imagery and sensations evoked by these dreams vary widely, according to the survey. Most people’s climate dreams involve extreme weather or natural disasters; fewer are about mosquitoes and locusts or political leaders and laws. The most common emotions reported are fear and stress, except among Millennials who seem to have more hopeful dreams.

'shrooms baby!
Someone’s imagination is overly stimulated by the climate change alarmists. Thankfully, the rest of us don’t have to participate in their irrational panic.
I dunno...I dream more about these climate extremists dangling from the ends of ropes.
I wonder what that could mean?
The biggest scam perpetrated on the world. A quote for joe jacskon songwriter “everything gives you cancer”
People’s dreams are actually influenced by news and popular culture. Amazing.
It means you’re a normal person who wants what is best for America.
You’re welcome.
The environmentally-ill prove their mental illness
Absolutely true.
Thanks to the eco-nazis I’ve been dreaming of an American Franco or Pinochet to rise and wipe these f’ers out.
Maybe climate change is making us so insane that we believe in absurdities like gay marriage and transgenderism.
I consider myself somewhat an expert on dreams, because I have had vivid dreams all my life. IMHO, anything that gets your focus during the daytime hours can get your attention during your sleep hours. So this is not surprising in the least.
I suspect that secretly, a lot of them already are suspicious of the hoax.
It reminds me of the panic of 1910 with Halley’s Comet going to kill us all! Some people actually committed suicide over this.

“Comet Pills also popped up in New York, Georgia, and Texas. Leather gas masks were being sold in Texas along with the pills in case you wanted double the protection. There were also those in several states selling anti-comet umbrellas showing a complete misunderstanding of how gases move around. Around the world, people were holding “Comet Parties”, although some were just to watch the comet and not because they thought the world was ending.
“On May 19, 1910, The Spokesman-Review from Spokane, Washington reported a 24-year-old woman’s attempted suicide, a 90-year-old woman’s suicide, a 35-year-old man who claimed the comet was attacking him, and the mental breakdown of a woman, all caused by fears of the comet.
“Meanwhile, in California, a man threw himself in front of a train and a woman poisoned herself and her two children, both these individuals were sure the comet was going to burn up the planet. In New Jersey, a man killed another and confessed to police in order to clear his conscious before the comet struck the planet.”
