From Jan 31 , 2023:
I take a ferry across the water.
I am at the studio of Saturday Night Live except it's in a more rural area.
I work on my computer. Aidy Bryant shows me some horses in a stable. They are untamed and ill behaved and poorly cared for. I have ideas for caring for them, for who to hire to work the stables.
We are out in a field and look up and a horse is being transported though the air , lifted by helicopters. We wonder what the horse feels like. I think it must be scared but it didn’t seem to be.
The we see more horses flying and i realize the trumps are on them and that the sky is turning purple and some kid of war is breaking out. I look over across the water (it might be the Potomac) and I see boats and missiles flying through the air. I’m not terrified but i try to get to my laptop to see the news and I can’t find it. Every one else in the room with the computers seems concerned but about other things so I don’t know what is happening.

I am with a group of people. We are near the Reflecting Pool, I think? But I don’t remember seeing it. What I do remember seeing is a grassy space, an elongated spot of grass that is elevated about 2-3 feet above the surrounding grass, exposing the dark, rich soil underneath. Much like an organic cross section of soil. There is a small monument or group of monuments. The most immediate monument is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It’s really moving - a granite fixture that looks like an open doorway with flowers around it and on it. Then I look to the left and see a gold sculpture that looks like a giant, sad, sagging baseball mitt with the half the webbing missing, and Trump’s grinning face on it. It almost seems like a bench, but no one can really sit on it. Trump or his people have put it here, next to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I shake my head in disgust and think, “That man ruins everything.” The people in my group agree. However, I notice that I am able to get a picture of the monument with a beautiful natural setting in the background, effectively cropping out the gold bench-mitt. I do so, and feel a sense of loveliness and relief. I also think that we need to remove the gold sculpture as soon as Trump is out of office; before, if possible.

This past Tuesday, election day 2024, I woke from a dream where we had to escape Republicans in the present time. We were in a library, and a man opened a panel in a wall to a secret passageway we had to crawl through. It got very narrow at times, almost claustrophobic. But I’d been in hidden passages before in dreams, so it felt familiar, and I wasn’t afraid. The passage ended in a large old, unused school room. Huge windows, and the room had been recently painted. I thought this was a dumb place to hide. Windows? And someone knows the room is here? We left the building, and ended up on an outdoor concrete patio of a business. I was sitting on the ground when some other people showed up and sat on the benches. They seemed nice, until they started asking questions, and got suspicious of us. Now the intense fear sets in, and we walk away from the patio, hoping that those people don’t come after us or turn us in.

Trump dream I had on Jan 3rd 2024
Dreamed I was in charge of Trump's meds. I dropped the pill minder over and some of them fell out and I couldn't figure out where they went. He was doing well on the meds and I was afraid I'd put them back in the wrong places and he'd suffer ill effects.

July 2024
I’m outside of a house in the backyard. The lawn is dirt, weeds and some areas with grass. Not a well kept yard.
I am standing behind a man sitting in a lawn chair. He is in his fifties, will longish slicked back black hair and a bandanna tied around his forehead. His face is tan and deeply lined. He feels menacing but is very calm. It’s like he’s in charge, and perhaps is there to protect me/us, but I’m still nervous and unsure of the situation. All of a sudden someone shoots this guy in the forehead, I think. He is killed and slumps in his chair.
Like a cut in a movie I’m now inside the house. I’m looking down into the living room. I’m on top of a room that is built inside the house. A room within a room. But it doesn’t extend up to the roof so there is space to sit on top of the room. I’m looking down into this small sparsely furnished living room. There are two other people with me on top of the room.
That’s when we see trump. He’s in the living room looking at a piece of paper. We realize he was the one who killed the man in the yard.
We now feel like we need to get out of that house but there’s no way off the room. One of the people up there with me (a woman) jumps off and grabs a bunch of wires sticking out of the wall. As she slides down some of the wires pull loose and it’s clear no one can use that way down again. The wires are connected to an absolutely giant white plastic modem. It’s nearly the height of the room top we are sitting on. Everything in the living room is internet/ technology equipment.
I decide I have to jump on the modem and hope I’ll be able to slide down its smooth vertical surface. I don’t think it’s going to work but have no choice and go for it. Once I land on top of the modem it begins to tip over and I realize the top will hit the soft cushions of a couch breaking my fall. I’m ok. The last person on the room (a man) wonders what he can use to get down with.
I tell him to use the modem too, but then we realize the modem isn’t hard plastic, its fake and has folded in the center. I’m not sure how he’ll make it when I wake up.
All during our escape trump is standing there, unaware of what’s happening around him.

Dreamed about Drumpf. Men and teen sons weren't taking him seriously as a threat. I was trying to warn them.
Neither was Gen Z taking it seriously. They had a meme-like view of him as an idiot to be laughed at.
This was connected to a Korean-American TV series that featured felt/fabric 'poppet' dolls of him in a fabric carry-case...the poppets traditionally used for magic (healing or harmful).

March 2024
I had a dream today that I was trapped in a job working for Trump's legal case, working on a repeal.
The only one left working, I had no other job in line and felt forced to do the work. I had a clear moral dilemma I felt on a visceral level knowing the work I would doing was helping a horrible man obstruct justice.
It was against everything I stand for. Trump sat across from me and I could visibly see his jowls and his eyes looked tired, but determined. It was awful to be sitting there eye-to-eye and yet, I felt powerless to get away.
There are a few other details I've written down. It was a powerful and deeply disturbing dream.

November 2024
I dream I am Donald Trump’s daughter. A lesser more invisible one. Like Tiffany.
I am a different person entirely. I am younger, tall, my hair is lighter and have long Fox-news coiffed hair. I wear a long, flimsy gown, navy blue, covered with rhinestones. I am wearing high heels that have been dyed to match my dress.
I look like – in Tressie McMillan Cottom’s recent words – a woman “absolutely willing to be molded by patriarchy.”
I have to appear at some working-class event with my father. Just appear in the background. I won’t have to say anything.
I have decided that I am too tired to uphold the estrangement/fire-wall I had set up for his first term – that had required that I erase my entire digital footprint and live practically off-grid.
He is my father, and I just have to deal with that reality somehow.
I don’t have the energy to pretend that I do not know him.
I don’t have to talk to him – or even really make eye contact – but as we leave, I am escorted to an official car, and we drive off in separate directions – although I am still under his Secret Service protection.
Somehow the journey goes awry, and I am on my own – without money or ID or assistance trying to get back to NYC. I take an airplane, a helicopter, a ferry and end up on foot walking on a forgotten, obstacle ridden path along the shoreline of the Atlantic coast. My gown is getting raggedy, losing rhinestones with each new scenario. The tiny rubber stoppers at the bottom of my heels are wearing thin, the uppers snagged and wobbly. I am exhausted. I don’t know if my dress and my shoes will hold up through all the hours and days of walking ahead.
I am in Philadelphia, the City of Brother Love. I am slogging, dragging and it feels like I am stuck walking in place. I suddenly realize that some man has hooked his finger in the back of my dress and is actually manually holding me back so that I cannot walk forward.
I turn around and scream: “Do you know who my father is?! Do you have any idea who my father is?! He will DESTROY you!” – although I am not at all sure that he will, but this bluff and bluster feels like the only recourse available to me.
He lets go and I continue on, up a flight of white public stairs, exhausted but still en route, in these precarious shoes and this ridiculous dress.

At a party or gathering & Trump was there. I was aware of how terrible he is; but for some reason I approached him in a friendly manner. I asked him what really makes him happy. He lit up & responded with delight: “Ad sales!” (Selling advertising space on TV) I kept turning over the dream for the rest of the night & at some point there was an addendum to the conversation. He said: “If you can sell people something they don’t need, you can sell anything!” ~ Anonymous

Had a dream last night that Trump was reelected and did away with the Voting and Civil Rights Acts, so looking forward to that. ~ Daniel Malmer, @malmer.com BlueSky
@nexjql.bsky.social I had a dream earlier this week that he was elected but dipped out before he could get back in office. It was a very good dream.
@shoq.bsky.social Good morning. I had a dream that Trump got reelected. 3 billion people turned up for his inauguration. According to the White House, anyway.
@djdunclive.bsky.social Had a dream last night that it was election night and Trump had lost. Now I'm awake and have over half a year of election news to endure. My disappointment is immeasurable.
@silly.bsky.social had a dream (premonition?) that trump died a few days before the 2024 election and joe biden won in a landslide
@rattejak.bsky.social I had a weird dream where I suddenly heard news that the next president was a republican and fearing it was trump I checked online only to find it was actually some weird generic Niki Haley type with a nonsense name my brain made up. What level of coping is this
@jchadwick.bsky.social I had a dream where I met Trump and he tolerated me and that was also disturbing.
@literallytho.bsky.social i had a very realistic dream last night that donald trump was my boss and forced me to pay like $150 out of pocket for a bunch of supplies for the office
@thelee.bsky.social What a terrible dream I had; Trump managed to delay all trials until after the election, he wins the Presidency and then just pardons himself.
@regretagarbo.rip had a dream last night where donald trump died and the msnbc logo was all fucked up and instead of seating nbc, it said “tire”
