Sure, if I can remember what it was. Usually it's too ... not vague, really, but fragmented ... uncertain. I do often have the idea that, well, that was about so and so, even if the details are obscure.
Never eat chalupa right before going to bed.
Groucho Marx once said:
I sent the club a wire stating, “PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON’T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER”.
(Telegram to the Friar’s Club of Beverly Hills to which he belonged, as recounted in Groucho and Me (1959), p. 321-Wikipedia)

In 2016, we lived through a God-ordained miracle.
Donald Trump, a true political outsider, ran for and won the very first political office he had ever sought in his life, even with minimal help and a kit of resistance from the political party he ran in.
Instead of being duly chastened, the GOP wants to join with the Dems and to remove the choice of the people.
This is a very dangerous path, as it will lead to a real civil war.
Instead of the British Crown of 1776, we find that the enemy of our freedoms in 2017 is our very own government.
The failure of the GOP to oust Obama in 2012 indicated that then was the time to start new party.
Like a cruise ship that cannot turn on a dime, the political momentum carried us along to give the GOP a majority in the House and the Senate in 2014.
For two years, Boehner,Ryan and McConnell did NOTHING.
In 2016, we gave the GOP the White House with OUR selected candidate.
And still they do NOTHING.
Somehow, Americans must be roused to action to oppose both the GOP and the Dems, and to make them fear their masters.
Other than Trump, who are the leaders to do this?
Who are the ones who can see clearly and have the moral clarity and drive to save the Republic?
Not having an answer to this question is the genesis of your dream,
And you are not alone.
ACTS 2:17-22
17‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people;your sons and daughters will prophesy,your young men will see visions,your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on My servants, both men and women,I will pour out My Spirit in those days,and they will prophesy. 19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below,blood and fire and clouds of smoke. 20The sun will be turned to darkness,and the moon to blood,before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
I had a dream as a younger child I will never forget. I saw an airplane that had landed in the field by our house. I went out to take a look and at every window in the plane there were faces of Asian people and maybe some other ethnic groups looking out at me with their heads going side to side. I think the plane did a belly landing - no wheels. That was all but it stayed with me all these decades!
But the British Crown WAS our government!!
We were COLONIES!!!
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a designto reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
“I handed to test to the petite blond at the desk...”
That’s probably where my dream would take a different direction.
How YOU doin ?
Man is guilty of not following the road map laid out in the Constitution. One has to believe that document was at the very least God ordained as it relates to the liberty of mankind. Your admonition, “Seems to me that the point is we have to turn to the God who made us, for both safety and direction.”, is wise and profound, but can man be turned to wise and profound from lost and fallen?
Ew. Mike Myers always has struck me as sort of a sketchy little weasel but this is just over the top.
I was a bit young in the ‘60s for the huge antiwar demonstrations, but my sisters were not and their boyfriends were all making the scene down in DC. I played the role of the little brother and hung around at picnics etc... I did ask a few of the male friends why they protested. Without exception, save for cousin Danny (who is a 60’s version of today’s basement dwellers), they all said the same thing to the little brother (me). “To pick up chicks.”
It is the “cousin Danny’s” of the world I would keep an eye on. They’re crazy.
BTTT
Dreams are peculiar things. I don’t recall dreaming from the age of 18 or 19 until in my 50s. Then I started having dreams. One which has recurred had me, a few people I knew, and a handful of strangers wandering a blighted, blasted landscape. Something, I know not what, was pursuing us. Then I’d wake up. It was a disturbing dream and I’d just as soon not have it again.
What happens at Mensa meetings? Back in ‘88 I took some tests and the organization said they’d help me process the Mensa paperwork because I was qualified. I never followed through. Is anything accomplished? Is there structure to the meetings? Are charity efforts organized? I visualized people sitting in a circle expounding and brainstorming, but had no basis for my thoughts.
Conservatives are apathetic. They will not act.
The state is one of the beasts of revelation. Government can never replace God, but for many government is the new religion and the welfare/nanny state their God. We must get our nation right with the triune God of our founding or no number of insurgencies or conservative revolutions or even civil wars will save us.
Yes and the first such. There is not a dime of difference of what the PBNO (Parties By Name Only) in DC want to do to the People of the US. It will continue.
For me it is #TEXIT. Follow the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) who has moved many items in front of our reps in Austin. Follow and help with the #TEXIT efforts if you have time. It is time for Texas once again to raise Its own head as a Republic among naions
Mired in the matrix vs spirit of independence BUMP! BUMP!

Looking forward to it. Getting into good physical shape. Going to the range twice a month. Increasingly refusing to take part in their games.
The days of working within the system are past. The system is rigged against us.
