I dreamed about briefly waking up from my sleep. In my dream I was in the same position that I was sleeping in my queen sized bed laying on top of the super soft brown blanket in exactly the same way that I was really laying in reality. It was a very odd dream like I was actually just waking up to roll over. My 4 year old brown and white boston terrier was sleeping on the other side of the bed and snoring. In the dream, I might have rolled over before I woken up by the snoring dog. I started to reach toward the dog to shake him to stop the snoring, but then I woke up before I touched the dog. It was very disorienting because this was exactly where and how I was sleeping and with the dog. The only difference my dream had was me moving toward the dog which didn't happen in reality.

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.

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.
