Recording my dreams

It make the coming day more interesting

Several weeks ago, I started recording what I remember of my sleeping dreams. This past Saturday morning (June 19, 2021) I dreamed I was at a party. On TV, was a speech by the late civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis about threats to the Constitution. Although he had passed in July, 2020, in the dream he was alive and the context seemed to be the January 6 Capitol Attack.

Upon waking, I wondered if it was a callback to the movie I had seen the previous night, J. Edgar, which was in part about FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s obsession with destroying Martin Lutehr King, Jr. It was also, perhaps, a recognition in my subconscious mind of Juneteenth.

That’s similar to a lot of dreams I record. Something in the dream seemingly refers to something I had seen or experienced the previous day.

But something else happened in the dream. At the same party,a stranger seemed to have common interests with me, and I told a joke I had heard about the Space Force.

“Trump dates porn stars and wants to create a Space Army and I still don’t like him..”

I recorded these dream memories when I woke up, but didn’t think much of them. Later that morning, however, This Facebook Memory from 2018 appeared on my feed:
