Anyone having Nightmares about Trump?

Maybe I'm having some sort of anxiety of the Trump Presidency but lately I have this nightmare I wake up one morning sometimes it is before the election-sometimes election day and sometimes right after the election and in the Dream My Husband leaves the house either for work or to go to the store and he immediately comes back in saying he is not allow to leave the street and Trump declared Martial Law and the police and military are blocking every street preventing people from leaving.

I know it sounds crazy but I don't put it passed him. I also worry we can see something because with the knowledge of law enforcement and military being infiltrated by extremist and white supremacist and it does worry me.

Sorry you're having real nightmares. Your anxiety is obviously high and playing a part in that aspect.

Try reading something positive and uplifting prior to bedtime to reframe your mind.

I hope you sleep better soon.

I listen to MSNBC podcasts to fall asleep, and they creep into my dreams.

The other night I had a dream that I was working for Rachel Maddow, and I was fucking everything up. I got the gig, because we were old friends, but she had to end the friendship, and kick me out of the room I was renting in her house.

I've had dreams with Trump, but don't remember details.

I literally cannot watch him any longer for more than a few seconds before having to turn it off. Every piece of news that comes down the pike is more audacious then the next yet nothing happens because the entire Republican party has become his cult following.

It’s a living nightmare, and I’m protecting myself as much as I can while still fighting the good fight.

I was at customer's facility doing an upgrade to a piece of automation equipment on a manufacturing line. I didn't know that Trump was scheduled to make a campaign stop there.

The plant manager came by and said Trump wanted to have his picture taken with us to brag about this particular system we just installed. He then made it clear that he couldn't fire me since I didn't work there, but he would fire everyone that I deal with if I did anything that made Trump feel unwelcome, so I had to answer all of Trump's stupid questions with a smile and be filmed with him in what might end up in a campaign ad. It took a while for me to calm down enough to go back to sleep

But I had a dream where I beat the ever loving shit out of him. Pounded his head into the sidewalk so hard that it turned to mush. I woke up feeling exhilarated!

My real nightmares are during my waking hours when I am constantly assaulted with the reality of this fucked-up joke of a presidency.
