Did you ever have any Political Dreams?....

During W's term I had a few. A few were about getting ready to demonstrate in DC.
And 2 were actually demonstrating in DC.

The night before I just had one about painting my protest sign!

I've had a few dreams where everyone is fearful, disoriented and in some cases I'm with a large group of people gathering emergency supplies, making preparations, etc. We're in a large community building and are all very anxious about a possible visit from whomever is in charge.
Vague but a kind of dream I've never had...

waking up...I've had the typical anxiety dreams, on stage to sing or dance but no one told me what my "part" was, etc.
But these dreams felt almost like tapping into a larger consciousness, a much wider awareness.
Your question was a very good one. Thanks.

I think my subconscious mind has decided to limit itself to conventional nightmares, like taking a test I didn't study for or being unable to find my way out of a spooky parking garage or being unable to dial a phone number in an emergency. The really bad nightmares are for daytime when I'm awake.

I dreamt that we were hanging out and I was giving him advice on his basketball game. Happier times. Now I thank God that I don't dream about politics.
