I think this might be a sign you are on DU too much:

[Bouncy Ball]

I had a dream last night that all Democrats/liberals/Greens, etc (basically anyone but fundies and hard core right wingers) were rounded up into "camps." It didn't seem as bad as the camps during the Holocaust, no one that I could see was killed, but the men were separated from the women and we were becoming thin, weak, ill.

In the dream, my husband found a way to sneak to the woman's camp and tell me the men had a black market radio and were listening to a liberal guy broadcast from some unknown location on some weak frequency and it wasn't propaganda like the rest of the station. He found out that Mexico had invaded from the south, Canada from the north, and the EU was emboldened by that and decided to attack the US for the purpose of overthrowing bush. In my dream I got the sense that bushco had finally done something that was the straw that broke the camel's back for the rest of the world, though I don't know what that action was.

He said the EU was going to set up a provisional government here and that the entire bush administration and family had gone into hiding, on fear of death.

At that point in the dream, I remember feeling hopeful that we would be released soon and I went back to tell the other women.

Then I woke up. TIME FOR A BREAK FROM THE NEWS, EH?

1. Nah you're still OK

it's when you start having copycat dreams of the night before

[Bouncy Ball]

3. OMG yes, that WOULD be bad, LOL!

2. that's right out of a futuristic movie script

Maybe that you should write it and give it to some producer at Hollywood. Hey, the best ideas start with dreams!

[Bouncy Ball]

4. You know how a dream can seem REALLY real when you are having it?

That's how this one was. Sometimes I kinda know I'm dreaming, but not this time. It was completely chilling.

I should write it up in more detail.

14. Oh I totally see it!

And most convincing dreams are nightmares too!

9. I think it's called "Handmaid's Tale"

<eom>

[Bouncy Ball]

11. I've read the Handmaid's Tale

and this dream didn't resemble it much at all. Didn't even have the same feel. More like a futuristic Holocaust. :scared:

And WWIII. :scared:

It took me about an hour to shake off the willies from it when I woke up.

5. woah, bouncy...

[Bouncy Ball]

6. YIKES!!!!!!!

Now THAT'S some scary shit! LOL! Glad you don't have dreams (nightmares) like that anymore! Whew.

[bettyellen]

[Gothic Sponge]

8. I hope you are not psychic

:scared:

[Bouncy Ball]

10. I'm not usually, no.

I think I just have an overactive imagination that doesn't know how to shut itself off at night.

[name not needed]

12. No, but I am

Stay away from chestnut trees for a couple of weeks.

:)

13. I had that dream the night after 9/11.

Seriously. 'Cept I'm a guy, so it came from a distant perspective. Also, it was OBL and the Nazis who invaded, so we were screwed no matter what.

[Lady Effingbroke]

15. I had a dream several nights ago where I was running down the street

desperately trying to tell everyone I saw that "George Bush is a fascist theocrat!" but no one would listen. The dream ended when I sat straight up in bed, awakening myself by vehemently stating "George Bush is a fascist theocrat!!!"

Dr. Bouncy Ball, is this a sign that I am on DU too much? :shrug:
