I had the worst fucking dream last night... [View all]

Now normally I wouldn’t post stuff like this, certainly not in this forum, but it is in the an example of how this stuff gets into your head.

In the dream, which for me was unusually clear, I was actually part of Donald Trump‘s coterie. I was in the White House, I was in Bedminster, I was in New York in cars with him and other family members and of course the way dreams work there’s an instantaneous shift from one context to another. Now the entire time I have my sensibilities and I’m screaming at myself that I need to get away from this and get out of here because this is pure insanity, and it was uncanny because it was actually in color and vivid. I remember having dialogs with him and others and he bordered on the irrational even for a dream and yet I could not get away. I awakened scared to death and thanked God to see the projected clock on my ceiling was just a few minutes before I had to get up and out of bed.

I was thinking as I was taking a shower that he has become an inescapable part of our lives and our psyches which is really really frightening. In the film Silence of the Lambs one of the most poignant lines was when the FBI agent tells Clarice not to let Lecter get into her head. Well, this guy has certainly gotten into mine and my emotional health is none the better for it.

I had posted the other day that I felt the reason that Biden’s low poll numbers were accentuated was because Trump is still in the news in an omnipresent fashion and has eclipsed everything and everyone else in the country. It is really really frightening and I will be honest with you and tell you that I rarely have dreams with recognizable characters including family and friends. This particular dream for me personally was so horrifying because it was anomalous in so many ways, and in a crazy way is worrisome both philosophically and psychologically.

Well, there you have it my therapy session for the day is in concluded. To whom do I make out the check?
