I was in court sitting on the stand being questioned because I had committed a crime by voting for a woman. I felt sad and angry. A white man was questioning me. There were people in the courtroom watching.

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.
