fever dreams
Illness-induced strange visions
Fever dreams are the vivid, often disturbing dreams that occur during illness with high body temperature.
They tend to be more intense and bizarre than ordinary dreams, frequently involving strange imagery or anxious scenarios.
Figuratively, fever dream describes anything surreal, hallucinatory, or nightmarishly absurd: The whole evening felt like a fever dream.
