Among 155 predominantly Hispanic/Latino adults near the US-Mexico border, people who experienced more pandemic-related stress reported more nightmares, even after accounting for depression and anxiety symptoms. Those with higher stress were also more likely to have nightmares about confinement, suffocation, failure, being chased, sickness, and COVID itself. The findings suggest that reducing pandemic-related stress might lessen nightmares and potentially improve mental health.
