Just remembered my dreams. They were about a telephone relationship with Barack Obama.

A President-threatener had called my red metal flashlight, I guess mistakenly thinking it was the President's phone. That was the situational backdrop for the action, in which I don't know what came over me but I called the threatener back, even though I think the Secret Service, or the President himself, had at least suggested I do nothing.

The threatener answered "Hello?" and I paused and hung up (the flashlight), which had two sections of a bubblewrap-like stuff around it, left over from the federal investigators' work.

Then I realized maybe I shouldn't have done that, or at least I needed to report it. And I went to the computer in a rush to try to find the President's phone number, expecting it not to be easy. But I remembered of course I already had his number in my phone, from when he'd called me earlier. So I called him back that way.

It's surprising how much time the President has to talk to somebody like me. He assured me it was no problem. I think he had a social event going on, but he's a multi-tasker, you know.

Toward the end of the dream I found myself wondering whether he's really such an affable ordinary-fellow guy, or maybe he just acts like one cuz after that experience someone like me is more likely to vote for him, to support him. Less likely to consider him a shill for the oligarchy. Cuz the humanizing of our interpersonal connection was doing that to me.

Last night's dreams were even weirder. A Matrix-like alternate reality brainwashing involving having been kidnapped and imprisoned in an alternate spyworld reality, which I was warming to pretty well until a breakdown of gender-based roles was given in a training session, complete with graphic/icon shorthands for types. When I objected to the stereotypical "gamer" misogyny thereof, POOF! ---the dreamworld disappeared and I was in somebody's basement, having to put my clothes back on. I was making my way out and the family's kids were talking to me. I wanted to tell them how bogus that you can't play if you don't play by those rules.
