An Intimate Conversation

April 5, 2017 By dreamers

I dreamt that I was at a dinner party and Trump was there. It was pleasant. After a while I got up to go sit away from the table and Trump came over and sat next to me. I asked him a question about how he felt or thought and he answered it deeply. We talked for a while. I felt close to him; it was a genuine and intimate conversation. It turned into a bed and we fell asleep. I woke once and he had thrown his leg over me. I went back to sleep. I awoke and he was sleeping sprawled on top of me. This didn’t feel sexy, just close. He got up and was still in his clothes from the night before. He was saying that he would set up a house for me.

From a 62-year old woman in Oklahoma. Dreamer’s comments: “I’m an independent, self-sufficient professor, so this dream is weird as to the role I was cast; let alone Trump. I fell asleep laughing at funny tweets about Trump’s performance at the debate. I guess I have to remember that he has feelings too even if he’s narcissistic.”

A Heavy Storm

April 5, 2017 By dreamers

1. I dream I am reading a newspaper or magazine and I see an article about the election. I try to read it but suddenly it starts raining. It’s a heavy storm, a torrent of rain coming down. The print of the article runs. I’m feeling frustrated because I don’t understand what’s going on.  2. I dream I am in the backyard cleaning up dog poop. There is more poop than there should be. I am using newspaper not just plastic bags to clean up. Then I realize that the poop contains information that will come out after the election. I don’t know what to do with it. 3.  I dream I am in a ditch or ravine. It is like a long gash in the globe, deep and dark with steep walls. I don’t know how I will get out. I am trying on clothes. There is a pile of men’s suit jackets. I am trying to decide which jacket to put on to protect me from Trump.

Three short dreams from a woman in California in her 50’s. Dreamer’s comments: “I have had dreams with this ravine before, although in the past they usually involve me trying to rescue or help someone. I associate this dream with trauma. One of the triggers is Trump barging in on the girls dressing at the Teen pageant and his inappropriate talk about his daughter… In the dream I think I’m trying to dress like a man or be a man as a way to avoid this invasive behavior.”

Touché

April 5, 2017 By dreamers

In my dream my wife and I are traveling in Germany and stop at a McDonald’s. I try to order in German, with very poor results. The woman behind the counter rolls her eyes at me and then responds in English, French and Italian, obviously trying to show me how multicultural she and other Europeans are as compared to boorish Americans. Trying to get back at her, I ask her in broken Pig Latin if she understands me. To my dismay she responds in fluent Pig Latin. Desperate to retaliate in some way and wipe off the smug look on her face I look her squarely in the eye and defiantly state, “Adolf Hitler!” She is momentarily stunned, but then the smug look quickly returns and she fires back, “Donald Trump!” All I can say back to her is “Ah, touché.” At this point I woke up, literally laughing out loud, which has never happened to me before.

From a 51-year old man in Illinois. Dreamer’s comments: “No idea what it means other than my firm belief that Donald Trump’s media exposure reaffirms the Western World’s perception that Americans are loud and obnoxious.”

Going for a Ride

April 5, 2017 By dreamers

I was the passenger in a big car with Trump driving, maybe an old Lincoln. A lady was in the back seat not sure who. We were comfortably talking. As we traveled, I felt a sexual desire for Trump that surprised me. I don’t like Trump. But in the dream he was a nice guy. He parked the car in an underground garage. I asked him if he needed protection and he said no. He sat on a curb in the garage and a few passersby recognized him and started talking with him. He was smiling and very regular. I was quite stunned at how likable he was.

From a 53-year old woman in Florida. Dreamer’s comments: “I am recently widowed and thinking of what type of partner I may be attracted to someday. Yesterday I met a very nice wealthy man and intuitively knew I could attract such a person. Dreaming about Trump affirmed my comfort with being with a nice wealthy man, someone I could be comfortable with, who wasn’t an asshole even though he was successful.”
