My weird, 3-night running now, dream
Okay, so it's hot. I tend to dream of war when it is hot, I guess cause my war was hot. Who knows?

Here it is...

For some reason a bunch of us decided to walk to DC from NYC. As we walked, we talked to everyone we met and many of them joined us. We were a few thousand strong headed across Jersey when the Army first came to talk to us. Nothing threatening, we assured them, just walking to DC.
They said okay, but the FBI was with us from then on.
Anyway, we were many thousands more near Silver Spring when the Feds decided we could not enter DC and sent troops, cops and such to intercept us.
Fortunately for us, we noticed their left flank was empty and we walked around them at night though Virginia appearing at the Pentagon the next morning.
The Pentagon was nervous and had tanks and all kinds of stuff around it. We wanted to go to the White House and demand Bush come back from vacation there, but it looked like Rummy was in charge and wanted a confrontation there at the Pentagon.
Just as things were about to turn really ugly, a batallion of Marines marched up to take positions in front of us, instead of turning right into the Pentagon, they cheered and turned left to join us!
After that, with the Marines at the head, we walked across the bridge to DC to the White House.
Bush spoke to us via TV, we demanded he come back.
We pressed the gates, the Secret Service kept warning us they would shoot.
We chanted "You can't shoot us all!" "You can't shoot us all!" "The White House must fall!"
And with that we were in. Going through file cabinets and with each drawer finding more and more evidence of wrongdoing, passing these things to Federal Procescutors who appeared from somewhere.

That's about it.

What do you think?

3. I don't think dreams are strickly speaking "prophetic"
Edited on Sat Aug-06-05 10:52 AM by nuxvomica
But I do think they are highly instructive and may reveal potentialities that escape our conscious reasoning. Your subconscious may be telling you that now is the time to act because the gang currently in control of the WH is trapped in a public relations valley and even their traditional defenders are at a loss -- more a loss of commitment than ability -- to protect them. Perhaps the time is ripe for a full-court PR press against them. I figure that if the dream's repetitive, your subconscious considers the matter urgent and you've yet to act on it. Just my 2 cents.

4. Yeah, other than nightmares about specific things
I rarely have repeating dreams, and even weirder, I rarely remember what I do dream.
Probably self-defense for the years of nightmares in the 70's

7. I've read that you only tend to remember the dreams...
during which you wake up, if even momentarily. So if you're having a restful sleep and you wake up in the non-REM stage, as you should, you'll usually not remember anything. In the absence of some recognizably causative factor, like a recently prescribed med or an indigestable meal, etc., I figure a remembered dream may be a message that's important to the subconscious so it's worth thinking about though not worth betting the farm on.

6. Wish fulfillment
and the collective unconscience...there is a thread in GD or GDP about a million people surrounding the ranch in Texas and demanding * go back to work. A lot of people seem to have a problem with * being on vacation all the time. Plus with all the dirty underhanded scheming the guy does, Crawford, has become synonymous with planning dirty deals under the table where it is supposedly not all being recorded for posterity. You have the same theme...only in D.C.

8. I've had recurring "story dreams" before
but the one that I had most recently involved members of DU and liberals in general being put in interment camps.
Also of working in some type of "political hospital" where DU members or liberals were being brainwashed to become Republican.
I had a thread about it somewheres.

10. I notice you traveled around the LEFT flank through Virginia,
and the Marines turned LEFT to join you.

Just plain cool, and lovely symbolism.

and it is a great dream..

12. I suppose my dream may have
been discreetly about Cindy Sheehan's walk to Crawford?
