Sharing the Dreams

People are dreaming about Barack Obama. Because his presidency affects us on a collective level, individual dreams about him can reflect various aspects of collective awareness.

This blog is a collaborative gathering of dreams that contain Obama as a figure in the narrative or as an image. I will post the dreams here anonymously, without my comments, where they can be viewed as expressions of the collective world psyche.

The intention with this collection is not to analyze individual dreams, but rather to let the nature of each dream speak for itself as part of the world psyche. As we listen, we can bring individual voices into greater collective consciousness.

You can participate in this blog in several ways:

Obama is meeting with reporters and making a public announcement that on the Saturday after the Inauguration, one member of every household in the nation can go to a Sherwin-Williams paint store to pick out a gallon of paint in whatever color they might choose. It is made clear that Sherwin-Williams is a black-owned company [in the dream]. Obama goes on to say that, tho this is a very small gesture, it symbolizes his intention to have the financial stimulus reach directly to every ordinary citizen and that he imagines that for many poor families this might be the first time ever they would have a freshly painted room, painted in their own very favorite color. ~ end of dream

I had this dream the weekend before the inauguration - the night after seeing a clip of Obama stopping by briefly to help paint a house. It was kind of a funny clip actually - with suited secret service men in the background doing nothing, certainly not themselves picking up a paintbrush! The dream was so vivid that I woke in the night, thinking I'd just been remembering something I had actually heard on the News Hour!
