Sometimes I have "movie" dreams.....usually just before I wake up in the morning. Dreams that are very complex and almost complete stories. Clear as day, with conversations and people I know as main characters. One of those special dreams fired my sleeping brain waves a few days ago.
It had to do with campaigning for POTUS and the dream took place about two months prior to the election. My college freshman roommate decided to run and in her introductory speech she talked about helping the middle class and working hard for the people she would serve. (Nothing new there.) And then she made a statement that if elected she would light a candle in one upstairs window at the White House....and keep it glowing. That would be her signal that she was busy working to fulfill her campaign promises.
Talking heads made dismissive comments....but within a few days they were beginning to report that candles were showing up in windows in neighborhoods all over America. Up and down the streets....house after house a candle flickered. The candidates leading in the polls scoffed at the ever-growing glow.
Until election day....when my college roommate won and was suddenly POTUS. I woke up and actually emailed her to let her know what was in store for her. (Laughter all around.) But the dream keeps flitting around in my brain. What if, maybe not my room mate, but what if.....
