Nighttime resistance: my dreams in the age of Trump.


Once in a while–a great while–I write about my dreams on this blog. I don’t do it very often, but my “dream posts” have often turned out to be some of my personal favorites, such as the time I dreamt, in April 2014, of drinking wine with former President George W. Bush, or my terrifying “Alfred Hitchcock dreams.” While I find New Agey claims of dream interpretation to be a little thick, I do think that a person’s dreams are an interesting window into what’s on their mind and, to a large extent, what their anxieties are.

Trump has never appeared directly in a dream I’ve had, either before January 20 (2017) or since, but a few times in the past weeks I’ve had dreams that are obviously derivative of anxieties caused by the new age of Trump. They may not “mean” anything, but they’re worth thinking about.

Last week I had a dream that involved Russians. Like, a lot of Russians. In my dream, there was a sudden huge influx of Russian people into our neighborhood, and they began showing up at my apartment. My next-door neighbors were suddenly Russians. The plumber who came to fix the pipes was Russian. My co-workers were suddenly all Russians. Non-Russian people in my neighborhood were expressing concern that we were being “overrun” with Russians.

  1. No thoughts about 45 in the past few hours — thanks to the Brady Bunch and their Superbowl game for the ages.

    But I am confident 45 will tweet, sharing his part in the Patriots’ incredible comeback. Call it an iconic alternative fact.
