Share your wacky politically motivated dreams here!
Edited on Wed Sep-15-04 05:56 AM by LiberalVoice
Inspired by Cats Against Frist's thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x1674349

I'm sitting in an office at a very large round boardroom table. I am sitting among some other activists and bush is further down the table with tons of Secret Service agents around him. He's giving a speech about all the great things he's accomplished in the last four years. I stand up and start shouting about how he's lying and I start to counter all his bullshit with the truth. SS agents came over and made me stop and a mouthed "Fuck You" to * looking him dead in the eye. This man in a dark suit and sunglasses(I though he was another SS agent)comes up to me and I'm thinking, "Well i'm fucked" but instead he tells me their will be a debate after Bush's speach that I can participate in.

The next thing I know the room is now a large auditorium FULL of people. * takes the stage and I find the last seat left. I'm holding up a sign that says, "Iraq: Americas Other Palestine" and the guy next to me starts telling me to put my arm down cuz my armpits smell. I turn to tell and look at the guy...It's none other then Ryan Seacrest(WTF?!?)of American Idol fame(A show I hate). I apologize and do my best to try and hide the odor he says he smelled.

I didn't get it cuz I didn't smell anything.

Anybody know what this might mean? :P

I didn't think so.

2. I would say you're in the same boat
as the rest of us, trying like hell to get the truth out to the American people, but entertainment television is more important to the masses.

3. Wow
That could so totally be it. The media has been frustrating me ALOT more lately.

Your idea really does hit it on the nail. I was only asking if someone knew what my dream might mean as a joke. Thank you! :hi:

4. You're welcome,
I have a lot of really wacky dreams, so I've gotten pretty good at this. It helps that you've always been one of my favorite posters on the DU because we seem to think so much alike. :)

7. Some time before Iowa's caucus,
before Carol Mossely Braun dropped out, I had a dream that there was a swimming race. It was me, CMB, Edwards, and Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean. We swam through tunnels and rainbows (:shrug:) and caves and waterfalls... After a tunnel, I realized CMB wasn't with us, so I went back to make sure she hadn't drowned... And I never found out whether Edwards won the race, or Captain Jack Sparrow...

9. Sometimes I dream that, when the alarm clock goes off
and I hit Snooze, another farmer understands my perspective and agrees to make a stand with me. So, each time I hit snooze, I make the world a better place.

I oversleep a lot, and this is why :)

Maybe you would enjoy dreams where every time you hit snooze, one more gun is taken off the streets :)

11. Running for president in 2020 against a rethuglikkkan
Edited on Thu Sep-16-04 01:13 AM by chair094
In my campaign, I call the rethuglikkkans for the kkkorporatefascists they are--very much a Howard Dean-style campaign.

At a campaign rally, I get shot and killed by a KKKarl Rove plant (yep, he's still working for them). The guy gets charged with murder, but the rethuglikkkans attempt to bribe the jury. One of the members of said jury leaks.

I instantly become a political martyr and win the election in a landslide posthumously. As this has never happened before in a presidential election, the Supreme Court decides the case. However, this time it applies the 25th amendment and my vice presidential candidate becomes president-elect, who then appoints a vice-president upon inauguration.

The first part would actually happen. The second part is too idealistic.:)

Edit for spelling

13. news crawl
I was dreaming about something other than politics and a news crawl came across the bottom saying -- CNN has fired wingnut scarborough after-- and at that point I woke up. I don't even know if that's the channel he's on, but I think I might be taking this election stuff too seriously.

15. Usually it's that the UK finally gets a good Education Secretary...
Which is a bit too idealistic even for a dream!

I also dreamt that I was elected to Parliament as a Liberal Democrat, and Parliament were meeting on a British Airways aeroplane, and I was running around looking for the Party leader and couldn't find him - not helped by the fact that everyone suddenly started speaking in German rather than English.

I did dream that the Democrats won the American elections this year, which I hope is prophetic!

Oh, and a long time ago, when Richard Nixon was still alive, I dreamt that he and Henry Kissinger suddenly appeared and simultaneously dropped dead on the platform of Wimbledon Park Underground Station in London. There was a great commotion of people from the emergency services and the press swooping down.
