In today’s instance of messed up dreams, I had a very vivid and lengthy one about an insane weather event where BOM predicted it would go down to -26 and -28 in Melbourne over the weekend (just the weekend!) and the forecast recommended in the strongest terms that everybody stay indoors as much as possible. Then in the dream I went to the DT and everyone was losing their shit and people were sharing info of which supermarkets still had stock of anything and locations of official “cold shelters” operated by councils for people to take refuge in if needed. The Alps were being evacuated and there was talk of crop failures and potential deaths in the thousands. It was very real in my head.

It wasn’t even that cold this morning!
