I had a dream about the 2004 election
Maybe this is nothing. But I had a dream about the Democratic nomination and the General Election. I usually don't have these dreams but when they are this strong and clear they usually come true in part or whole.

I dreamed that none of the candidates could get enough delegates to win the nomination. Dean and Clark fought it out on the convention floor and somebody played a tape of Dean saying something he should not have so Clark won the nomination.

Clark chose Edwards for his VP and they beat Bush 52%-46% in the popular vote and slaughtered Bush in the electoral college.

Mississippi and South Carolina election results are challenged and eventually go to Bush but it didn't matter because Clark/Edwards won by a huge margin.

Under Clark there is a huge technological boom and new space programs are started. We are given our first cars with out wheels or combustion engines. We also have pocket size PCs that can do more than our current computers. Under Clark's last year in office the US population faces its' first decrease in population due to legal changes in immigration policy. Reagan and Ford die while he is in office and about 6-8 former members of the Bush Jr. Administration are found guilty of felonies but for crimes we yet don't know about now that dwarfs what Bush has done so far. Under Edwards as President we land the first people on Mars and make advances on our Space station. Also the first mining industry starts in space with China being the first to do so.
Negative things I saw were that Prescott Bush, the son of Jeb Bush wins a US Congressional seat in Florida and the unemployment rate hits 6.3% in 2006.

This might mean all nothing, but it sticks with me and is very clear. It also seems likely as well. If it were something really strange I might not think anything about it.

You all can make fun of me how outrageous this sounds.

Mike

11. Flying cars...
maybe a legacy from bush's 'hydrogen energy' plan? LOL...


The notion of cars without wheels is a possibility, since this admin is trying to re-invent the wheel anyway.

3. Dang.
My dreams are never that coherent or detailed, but I'd be OK with that scenario in real life.

4. Funny I had a dreamabout the election too but not as thorough
I was the election on TV Dean vs Bush, Dean ended up winning and I went to DU and seen lots of posts with the same message in ALL CAPS and excessive capitilization. Of course it's just a dream, I was also :smoke: after it happened.

You all can make fun of me how outrageous this sounds.

8. OK--I'll throw myself on the sacrificial block here
and say that I've had a few precognitive dreams myself, including one that I credit with maybe haing saved my life.

Also, in real life I'm a psychologist, and you wouldn't believe how many people have confided (unasked) details of their own precognitive dreams to me.

10. How many of them come true?
Just curious. I usually have little dreams that tell me some personal things about might life, but they just as often untrue as true.

14. I think it is entirely poosible to have a precognitive dreams...
It is however, if we use those dreams to construct a viable scenario as to the outcome.

I have always said that, "One mans hallucination, is another mans vision".

Dreams, visions, prophecy....who knows, depends on where your beliefs lie.

The whole Democrats win...shrubs arrested, tech boom etc.

Notice even though I am a Clark supporter (and I think hes handsome) I kept the whole win thing generic. Why? Because I really want any Democrat to win!

12. LOL, that is what is weird
I usually forget most my dreams. Some of them I never forget. I think I only remembered it because it was my last dream and it was so clear. I also thought about it when I got up.

19. very interesting
Edited on Tue Oct-21-03 10:31 PM by bluestateguy

Miss. and SC?! Let's not get greedy here, but I'd settle for Florida and Arkansas.

for months after Selection 2000 I had dreams that Al Gore was reinstalled as president after the election was declared to have been fraudulent. Unfortunately something as good as that makes you realize real quick that it's just a dream and you soon wake up.

23. "Usually come true in part or in whole"
This reminds me of famed psychic Stan Marsh, for some reason.

Anyhow, I can't put too much stock in this, if only because if the nomination goes to an actual convention fight between any two candidates, whichever guy loses because 'somebody played a tape of him saying something he should not have', the something in question is either going to include "so we dumped the body in the river, and ...", or you're going to have a broken party on your hands.
