The Tapestry of Lives Unraveled by Pandemic
Dream Count weaves together four women's stories across continents, revealing how isolation forces confrontation with our deepest truths. When lockdown descends, Chiamaka's Brooklyn apartment becomes both sanctuary and prison. Her ambitious plans to master bread baking and learn Mandarin quickly dissolve into anxiety-filled days tracking death tolls and avoiding calls from loved ones. The weekly Zoom calls with friends-Zikora managing her crying son, LaShawn evangelizing about sourdough, Hlonipha escaping through watercolors-only heighten her sense of disconnection. While others seem to have found their pandemic coping mechanisms, Chiamaka feels increasingly untethered in a world suddenly, eerily silent. The isolation strips away social pretenses, forcing her to examine failed relationships and missed connections. She dwells on Sung-min, a Korean classmate she never approached despite their shared love of obscure French films, and Darnell, for whom she had carefully curated stories about Lagos and fabricated sexual adventures to satisfy his appetite for the exotic. The pandemic reveals how much of her identity has been constructed for external validation-a sophisticated immigrant, an adventurous lover, a successful professional-rather than allowing herself to simply be.
