I admit that I have pretty boring dreams. But last night, I dreamt that we were trying to pack our car full of stuff for a trip. It was a little like playing Tetris, and we were taking the kids with us. There was a sense of urgency and frustration as I tried to get all of the bags and such inside the back.
Source & context
An anonymous adult participant’s complete English self-report from the morning after the 2024 United States presidential election, released with the Livingston, Putnam and Wamsley study. One survey report remains one account even if it recalls several scenes. The report records the participant’s dream and recollection, not verified events or an editorial political position. Participant identifiers, political ratings, demographics, waking-memory responses and other survey fields are not included. This is published research material, not a Synastry community submission or a new contributor count.
